The iconic \"Snowflake\" is one of Grand Seiko's most celebrated creations, famous for its unique dial texture inspired by the snow-covered mountains outside the Shinshu Watch Studio. This rare early-generation reference features the original dual-branded dial layout from before Grand Seiko became an independent brand in 2017. A 41mm high-intensity titanium case features Zaratsu-polished and brushed finishes, offering a scratch-resistant structure that is significantly lighter than stainless steel. A case thickness of 12.5mm and a lug-to-lug length of 48.5mm provide an effortlessly comfortable and commanding presence on the wrist. On the right side, a signed screw-down crown sits between subtle, integrated shoulders for protection. A dual-curved sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating sits above the mesmerising white-textured dial. An outer minute track surrounds applied, multi-faceted baton indexes that reflect light brilliantly. Elegant, razor-sharp Dauphine hands sweep across the face, complemented by a heat-blued steel seconds hand. At 3 o'clock, a date window sits framed in titanium, while a printed power reserve indicator rests between 7 and 8 o'clock. Reflecting its early-generation heritage, the dial features the applied \"SEIKO\" logo at 12 o'clock, with \"Grand Seiko\" and the \"Spring Drive\" text printed proudly above the 6 o'clock position. On the reverse, a screw-down exhibition case back reveals the innovative Spring Drive Grand Seiko Cal. 9R65. This hybrid masterpiece combines the high torque of a mechanical mainspring with the precision of an electronic quartz regulator, featuring 30 jewels, a 72-hour power reserve, and a perfectly fluid, gliding seconds hand. It comes paired with its original 20mm high-intensity Titanium Grand Seiko-signed 5-link bracelet, secured with a Grand Seiko-signed push-button release three-fold clasp, and includes all spare links.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cb276d81-7fff-3b34-2752-92f717d696f5\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56790833660284,"sku":"SBGA011 (9R65-0AE0)","price":3595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_63b894dd-2ddc-4c30-ac68-1e205c5c4c68.jpg?v=1779128011","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/2016-grand-seiko-spring-drive-snowflake-titanium-41mm-sbga011","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
