Offered here is the stunning Grand Seiko SBGA259 "Golden Snowflake," a boutique-only edition from 2021 that offers a distinct and warm interpretation of Grand Seiko's most famous dial. This timepiece blends the legendary craftsmanship and precision of the Spring Drive movement with a beautiful, unique aesthetic. While based on the iconic "Snowflake" dial, the SBGA259 refines the concept by replacing the classic blue second hand with a polished golden hand. This warm touch is echoed in the yellow gold hour markers, the date window frame, and the "GS" logo at 12 o'clock, which creates a rich, elegant contrast against the pristine white textured dial.
The watch is powered by Grand Seiko's unique 9R65 Spring Drive caliber, an innovation that combines the motive force of a traditional mainspring with the high precision of a quartz crystal. This creates a perfectly smooth, gliding second hand that sweeps across the dial with unparalleled accuracy, a mesmerizing motion that must be seen in person. The 9R65 caliber also provides a robust 72-hour power reserve.The 41mm case and bracelet are crafted from Grand Seiko’s high-intensity titanium, which is 30% lighter than stainless steel while being more resistant to scratches and corrosion. The case features Grand Seiko's signature Zaratsu polishing, creating a distortion-free, mirror finish on its polished surfaces that contrasts beautifully with the brushed finish of the bracelet.
This example, first sold by ourselves, is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition having been subject to a service by Seiko in June 2024. As such, the watch remains under Seiko warranty until June 2026. The watch is sold with the complete original set, double box set and all booklets/warranties, together with the service paperwork, ensuring both authenticity and a premium collecting experience. The meticulous attention to detail on this reference, from the dial to the proprietary movement, is a testament to Grand Seiko's place in high watchmaking. This is a chance to acquire a unique and increasingly rare piece of Grand Seiko history.
