This is a watch for the genuine luxurious watch devotee, faultless in assembling and a genuine
insider decision for authoritative collectors. The Grand Seiko SBGA211 ‘Snowflake’ is one of the
hardest to source Grand Seiko's in the industry and a genuine collector’s timepiece.
The case and 193 millimeter bracelet are made with high-force titanium, giving a scratch and
corrosion safe finish, making it 30 percent lighter than stainless steel and a delight to wear. The
case dimensions are 41 millimeters in diameter and 12.5 millimeters in thickness. The beautiful
white dial can be seen through the dual curved sapphire crystal and date display that is coated
with anti-reflective to be able to be seen in direct sunlight. The screwed caseback exhibits the
beautiful Grand Seiko Spring Drive 30 jewel movement and the iconic lion emblem. The SBGA211
also features a screw-down crown for assured water resistance of 10 bar. The clasp on the Grand
Seiko Snowflake is a three fold deployant clasp with a push button, easy to use, release. The total
weight of this watch is just 100 grams, which makes it one of the lightest men’s watches in history.
The blue steel second hand moves easily in glide movement, and sparkles over the differentiating
unadulterated white face to make a significantly sensational movement.
It has a 72-hour (3-day) power reserve, and a power reserve marker on the base left of the dial.
The Grand Seiko SBGA211 is fueled by the Spring Drive, Grand Seiko's one of a kind caliber, which
consolidates the processing power of a mainspring found with the high accuracy of a quartz
watch. It keeps time to ±1 second per day (±15 seconds per month).
Grand Seiko revealed the Spring Drive in 1999, yet its absence of an adequately successful
automatic winding instrument and 72-hour power hold avert its selection in the Grand Seiko watch
line. Following a further four years of improvement, the principal Grand Seiko 9R Spring Drive was
The winding framework and drive time were advanced from the past 48-hour manual winding
system to an automatic 72-hour power hold. The automatic winding system utilizes Grand Seiko's
unique Magic Lever instrument created in 1959, however with improved productivity, practicality,
and solidness to upgrade winding proficiency.
The automatic with manual wind Caliber 9R65 is at present the most standard of the 9R Spring
Drive movements, and is utilized in numerous Grand Seiko watches.
