We present simultaneous high-resolution optical spectroscopy and X-ray data of the X-ray binary system GR Mus (XB1254-690), obtained over a full range of orbital phases. The X-ray observations are used to re-establish the orbital ephemeris for this s
ource. The optical data includes the first spectroscopic detection of the donor star in this system, through the use of the Doppler Tomography technique on the Bowen fluorescence blend (~4630-4650 A). In combination with an estimate for the orbital parameters of the compact object using the wings of the He II 4686 emission line, dynamical mass constraints of 1.20 < M_X/M_{sun} < 2.64 for the neutron star and 0.45 < M_2/M_{sun} < 0.85 for the companion are derived.
