Grand Seiko Snowflake

The Snowflake effortlessly combines the power of the Spring Drive movement with the elegance of a textured dial, housed in a lightweight yet durable titanium case.
 
Grand Seiko are renowned for drawing design inspiration from Japanese nature and this fondly named “Snowflake” is said to represent the snowfall on the Hotaka mountains beside their Shinshu studios. The textured silver-white finish subtly catches the light, whilst Zaratsu-polished hands and indices sit proudly on the dial, their gleaming surfaces allowing for greater legibility. The date window and power reserve indicator are also beautifully finished, and a simple “SPRING DRIVE” informs you of the movement lurking beneath the surface of the dial.
 
The Spring Drive movement really is quite special, combining the mechanics of an automatic movement with the accuracy of a quartz. This results in an attractive movement (visible through the exhibition case back), accurate to ±15 seconds per month, powered by the movement of your wrist, without the need for a battery.
 
Fitted to the watch is a sporty bracelet, made from the same high intensity titanium as the case. However, the watch would also suit a variety of straps, perhaps a buffalo calf leather to match the texture of the dial.
 
We are excited to present this 2021 watch in a very good pre-owned condition, showing light signs of wear to the case and bracelet. It comes supplied as a full set with its box, instruction booklet and a Grand Seiko warranty to September 2024.
