Hi all For sale is a recently acquired Snowflake. It is now one of the most iconic Grand Seiko's in the entire line up. The studio where the watches are made is in the city of Shiojiri, neighboring Suwa and Lake Suwa in a mountainous region of Nagano. It has winter snowfall that is light and airy due to lower humidity. The Snowflake pays tribute to Suwa's winters expressing the snowfall on the dial. The beauty of the dial is difficult to capture in photos, but hopefully the photos below do it justice. The case is titanium. The 9R65 caliber, exclusive to Grand Seiko, is completely hand assembled and manufactured in-house by Seiko. The Spring Drive 9R65 contains 276 parts, 30 jewels and is finished in Grand Seiko style with perlage and an abundance of striping. The continuous and fluid motion of Spring Drive, which is fully powered by a mainspring but uses a quartz crystal, IC and an electro-magnetic brake to regulate the unwinding of the mainspring, provides an astounding +/- 15 second per month accuracy rating to the SBGA011.
