Grand Seiko SBGR311 ‘Cookie’ Automatic 20th Anniversary Limited Edition – 2018

Released to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the 9S movement, the SBGR311 of course features the fabled movement, but what sets it apart is the magnificence of the dial. Grand Seiko are renowned for having some of the most fantastic dials at any price point, and this is one is very special indeed. Featuring the most amazing radial spiralling pattern of GS and Daini Seikosha logos,  depending on the light the dial can look almost black, to a vibrant chocolate in direct sunlight. The Zaratsu polished markers seem to float above this sea of chocolate, and typical of GS anniversary patterns the further you delve into it the more impressive the details become.

As above, it is powered by the lovely 9S68 movement, which is contained within a 42mm steel case and mounted to a stainless steel bracelet making for a versatile, but extremely intriguing, daily wearer.

This particular example was purchased locally in 2018 and presents in TZ Very Good condition. The case and bracelet shows some light scuffs from regular use. There’s also a scratch/nick on the polished portion of the upper left lug, as well as some rub marks on the left side of the case where it has been rested when not being worn. Please see images for full condition details.

All functions operating as they should.

Comes with outer box, inner box, instructions, warranty booklet dated 7th June 2018, hangtag, inspection certificate and spare links to complete the bracelet.

Limited to 1300 pieces globally, these are now very much sought after. Don’t miss your chance to pick up a lovely example.
