Grand Seiko «Ushio» Diver Spring Drive U.F.A. (SLGB023 and SLGB025)

Grand Seiko Ushio Diver Spring Drive U.F.A. watch

The main feature of this model is the unexpectedly compact titanium case measuring 40.8 x 12.9 mm. The focal point of these watches is the dial with an original texture that realistically mimics the light reflecting off the ocean's surface. This explains the word "Ushio" in the model name, which translates to "tide." The bezel is equipped with a ceramic insert matching the dial color.
