Ø 38.50 mm
The Grand Seiko Elegance Spring Drive Limited Edition marks the 20th anniversary of the groundbreaking Spring Drive movement, first introduced in 2004 with Caliber 9R. This exceptional timepiece draws inspiration from the breathtaking beauty of the Hotaka mountain range in Japan’s Shinshu region, the birthplace of all Grand Seiko Spring Drive creations.
The dial’s design captures the awe-inspiring moment of sunrise over the rugged peaks of Hotaka. As the mountains glow with a vibrant red hue, the light gently illuminates the autumn foliage emerging from the dawn’s shadow. This serene and majestic scene is artfully expressed through the dial’s color gradient, transitioning from a deep red at the edges to a luminous brightness at the center.
At the heart of this watch lies the manual-winding Caliber 9R31, a masterpiece of horological engineering. Equipped with a dual-spring barrel containing two mainsprings arranged in parallel, it provides a remarkable 72-hour power reserve. This innovative mechanism ensures consistent precision, embodying the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with Grand Seiko.
