Grand Seiko Elegance Collection SBGY007

A Spring Drive classic inspired by the legend of the Omiwatari.

Most winters, the water of Lake Suwa freezes over and, most years, a long ridge appears in the ice from one side of the lake to the other. Tradition has it that this is the Omiwatari, or where the gods walk out over the ice.

True or not, the legend has inspired the craftspeople of the nearby Shinshu Watch Studio to create a dial of exquisite subtlety for this hand-winding Spring Drive timepiece. It has the colour, feel, and texture of ruptured ice on the surface of Lake Suwa.

The movement powering this watch is the Spring Drive Calibre 9R31, which uses the Dual Spring Barrel to deliver a power reserve of 72 hours when fully wound. Its exquisite finishing is visible through the exhibition case-back, along with the power reserve indicator.

Every Grand Seiko timepiece comes with a 5-year limited guarantee.

Vintage watches
Condition is assessed in the context of the watch's age. Natural patina and period-appropriate ageing may be present and do not necessarily detract from its grade.

Condition grades relate to cosmetic presentation. Originality, replacement parts, service history and accessories are described separately where known. Please refer to the individual product description and photographs for further details.
