This Grand Seiko Heritage Collection SBGA497 (2024) is a limited edition tribute to 20 years of the 9R Spring Drive, inspired by the serene winter mornings near the Hotaka Peaks. Its 41mm High-Intensity Titanium case (12.5mm thick, 49mm lug-to-lug) houses a captivating pink gradation “snowflake” dial, protected by a dual-curve sapphire crystal, and paired with a titanium bracelet with three-fold clasp. Powered by the automatic 9R65 Spring Drive Caliber, this timepiece delivers exceptional accuracy and a smooth, gliding seconds hand, exemplifying Grand Seiko’s fusion of artistry and technical innovation. The screw-down crown and sapphire caseback complete this elegant and highly collectible watch, part of a limited run of 1,500 pieces.
