# Sea of Clouds Video: [https://imgur.com/a/9Qbs48c](https://imgur.com/a/9Qbs48c) Up for sale is this Grand Seiko reference SBGP017, nicknamed the Sea of Clouds for the dial texture which was inspired by cloud formations around the mountains in the Shinshu region of Japan where all quartz Grand Seikos are made. The pale blue color of the dial embodies the reflection of the sky on low, overlapping clouds over the regions lowlands. Perfectly matched to the 44GS case in celebration of the 55th anniversary of that design, the watch is stunning in person in a way the pictures really don't convey. The movement is the Grand Seiko 9F85 HAQ, specially enhanced to be accurate to +/- 5 seconds per year instead of the typical 9F 10 seconds per year. Only the absolute highest grade quartz crystals are selected for these movements to ensure the higher standard is met. The case measures 40mm without crown, with a 46.2mm lug to lug length and 19mm lug width. Thickness is just 10.7mm. This example is in better than excellent condition, and comes on bracelet measuring up to 8" laid flat as shown. It also has the inner and outer Grand Seiko boxes, manuals, warranty card, and maintenance support card for a discounted complete overhaul. Papers are dated July 2022. **Imgur album**: [https://imgur.com/a/sbgp017-2-yc72CoL](https://imgur.com/a/sbgp017-2-yc72CoL) **Timestamp**: [https://imgur.com/5OuM9Ae](https://imgur.com/5OuM9Ae) Asking **$3,595 shipped** in the US, payment via Zelle, Venmo, or wire.
