Watch Info
Manufacturer: Grand Seiko
Model: Heritage Collection "Mount Iwate" Cognac Dial
Condition: Excellent
Reference: SBGR289
Year: 2022
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes
Accessories: Complete Set (Inner & Outer Box, Warranty Card dated 2022, Grand Seiko Inspection Certificate, and Manuals). Includes original Grand Seiko stainless steel bracelet and an additional Grand Seiko leather strap with an OEM deployant buckle.
Notes: The SBGR289 is a rare and visually arresting mid-size mechanical Grand Seiko. It is distinguished by its stunning "Mount Iwate" pattern dial in a deep, rich cognac/chocolate brown—a texture inspired by the ridged contours of the mountain visible from the Shizukuishi Watch Studio.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This 2022 example has been meticulously maintained. The Zaratsu-polished surfaces remain mirror-bright with only negligible surface hairlines consistent with light, careful use.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The cognac brown "Mount Iwate" dial is flawless. The multi-faceted hour markers and "razor" hands are pristine, designed to catch and reflect even the smallest amount of light. The dual-curved sapphire crystal is perfect.
Case & Bezel: The 37mm stainless steel case is in excellent condition, retaining its sharp transitions and high-polish finish. The exhibition caseback is immaculate, allowing a clear view of the beautifully finished movement.
Strap/Bracelet & Clasp: The stainless steel bracelet is in excellent condition with virtually no stretch. The included additional Grand Seiko leather strap and OEM deployant buckle are also in excellent, lightly used condition, offering a sophisticated alternative to the steel look. Please note the bracelet is 1 link short.

What Makes the SBGR289 Special
The Grand Seiko SBGR289 is a connoisseur’s choice within the Heritage collection. While many Grand Seikos utilize the 40mm case, the 37mm diameter of the SBGR289 offers a classic, vintage-inspired proportion that sits perfectly on a variety of wrist sizes. Its most defining feature is the Mount Iwate dial, executed here in a rare cognac-brown hue. Under direct light, the dial reveals a mechanical, sunburst-like texture that mimics the snowy, ridged slopes of the mountain that overlooks the studio where the watch was born.
Inside, the watch is powered by the Calibre 9S65, a workhorse of Grand Seiko's mechanical lineage. It offers a 3-day power reserve and is adjusted to six positions, exceeding standard chronometer requirements. This specific set is highly versatile; the inclusion of both the stainless steel bracelet and the OEM leather strap with a deployant buckle allows the owner to transform the watch from a sporty daily wearer to a formal dress piece in moments. For the collector who values Japanese artisanal texture and mechanical precision, the SBGR289 is a standout reference.
