The Spring Drive Snowflake is Grand Seiko’s signature, and the 9R65 is the movement that defines the brand: a hybrid that runs on a mainspring but regulates with a quartz crystal, giving a perfectly smooth seconds hand and 72 hours of power reserve. The snowflake dial and high-intensity titanium case are pure Grand Seiko. Sapphire crystal with AR coating. It is the watch that made Grand Seiko famous. 41 mm, 12.5 mm thick, 49 mm lug-to-lug. On the radar — curious about this one, not yet decided.
