Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 Professional 600m Diver's SBGH255 Watch Hands-On
Baselworld has ushered in a season of dramatic change for Grand Seiko. Not only has the brand announced it will be presented as a separate brand from Seiko from 2017, it also is undergoing a rebrand of sorts-discontinuing all Grand Seiko watches in the collection as of February 2017 and replacing them with updated dial branding, interesting new finishes, and new price points.

Though the company was first registered in London in 1822, most of its business came from China. It was even said that Bovet had a monopoly on pocket watches in China for most of the 19th century. Therefore, these watches are a fitting tribute to a country and culture that played a big part in Bovet's history.
