Grand Seiko "Snowflake" SBGA211
Description
This is the Grand Seiko SBGA211. When talking about Grand Seiko, the Spring Drive movement immediately comes to mind. Conceived in 1977 and commercially released 22 years later in 1999, the Spring Drive is, among others, one of Seiko’s greatest accomplishments in the world of horology. The movement is often understood on a rudimentary level as a combination between a quartz and a mechanical movement. To delve deeper, the Spring Drive starts off as with many other mechanical watches - with the mainspring that drives a gear train. Unlike other mechanical watches, it ends with a regulator instead of an escapement, resulting in a smooth, continuous motion of the second hand. Spring Drive movements also have a generous power reserve of 72 hours. The Snowflake is the quintessential modern Grand Seiko. The case material is titanium and the dial is a textured white, mimicking a snow-covered terrain.
Condition
This Grand Seiko SBGA211 is in excellent pre-owned condition. On the case itself, there are no signs of prior wear. The main signs of wear are hairlines on the clasp and on the bracelet area leading up the clasp. It also comes in a full set of box and papers and service papers dated March 2021.
