GRAND SEIKO – Hi-Beat 36000 Professional 600m diver (ref. SBGH257) Review

At Basel this year Grand Seiko released the Hi-Beat 36000 and we have dubbed this mighty beast 'The Kraken' (in the best tradition of Seiko-related nicknames). Grand Seiko is known for many things: mirror-like finishes, incredibly crisp casework and a design style that veers from conservative to downright quirky. But this is not a brand that springs to mind when you think of professional-grade dive watches. Until now.

Now to be honest, unless you’ve got arms like Dwayne Johnson, I’m willing to bet you don’t have the wrist presence to rock this 46.9mm-wide by 16.9mm-thick behemoth (which is surprisingly light, thanks to the titanium construction). However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it a go, especially given the suitably grand level of fit and finish on display. And while the blue dial is our pick, it’s quite limited at 500 pieces, so the regular-edition black-dialled version might be the easier fish to land.

PRICING:
Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 Professional 600m, ref. SBGH255, $14,200 AUD
Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 Professional 600m, blue-dialled SBGH257, limited to 500 pieces, $14,600 AUD
