    I posted this on Instagram as one of my little challenges to see who can identify watches from this angle – the signed signature bronze crown makes figuring out the maker relatively straightforward, but actually even the model was identified remarkably quickly!

    I think this classic Admiralty Grey Phoenix NATO is basically perfect with this watch. It does that mysterious and always intriguing thing proper Admiralty Grey straps do – where in some light it looks neutral gray/grey, in other light it gives off a greenish cast, and frequently it looks bluish. In its bluish moods, I think it echoes some of the notes of these cool dark-blue hands.

    SBGX261 hand finishes

    The SBGX261 was my very first Grand Seiko. If I told you how much time I spent gazing (with a loupe and the naked eye) at the way this texture of the tops of the hands picks up and re-transmits light, sometimes creating little diffraction rainbows because of how fine the physical features are, you might not believe it. Oh, who am I kidding? You'd believe it. Dark-dialed Grand Seikos like this tend to have a hand top texture which picks up and reflects light from many angles and manages to look like it's glowing, without lume, even in surprisingly dim light (creating a contrast with the dark dial and making the watch improbably readable). Light-dialed Grand Seikos on the other hand tend to be given hands with angled large polished surfaces; if one of them reflects a light source toward you it will glint like a cut gem, but at least one of those surfaces is likely not to be reflecting the primary light source in your direction – and so, because of how absurdly good the polished surfaces are, a facet not reflecting toward you will appear black (and will thus contrast with the light-colored dial behind it).

    If features of the Oris 754 seem familiar... note that it's based on the Sellita SW200-1 (which is in turn a clone of the ETA 2824 family) [jbm-20200826-030_041]

    SBGY003 hand detail

    Here we see that the back edge of this SBGY003 hour hand not only has crisp edges, the side surface is finished without visible artifacts; the pattern you see there is a clean reflection of the watch's face pattern. Note that things aren't completely pristine here, though: this is a real-world photo of the watch in that you can see how the bottom of the second hand is finished in one reflection, and can see a bit of schmutz in another. jbm-20200819-sl2-023
