Capturing the ephemeral, celebrating the eternal: the Spring Drive watch from Grand Seiko, a tribute to the passage of time and timeless beauty.

Discover our special edition, honoring the 20th anniversary of Grand Seiko’s original Spring Drive movement, the caliber 9R, born in 2004. This exclusive timepiece also features the famous “snowflake” pattern dial, first introduced in 2005, which has won over watch enthusiasts around the world thanks to its unique texture and commitment to nature.
The dial of this new creation reveals a captivating pink gradation, evoking the splendor of a sunrise over the snow-capped peaks of Hotaka, Nagano Prefecture, the birthplace of all our Grand Seiko Spring Drive watches. Combined with the characteristic gliding movement of the Spring Drive seconds hand, this dial elegantly illustrates the tranquil, natural flow of time.
Designed to offer exceptional comfort and durability, the case and bracelet are made from high-intensity titanium, which is lighter and more scratch-resistant than stainless steel, embodying our commitment to excellence and innovation.
