The Watch
Here we have a rare 2020 Credor Signo Platinum 950 'Snowflake' Dial GBAT031 with a curvaceous polished 33.5mm Platinum case that delicately curves over your wrist thanks to the thin, sculpted lugs, Its slim profile leads to a lug-to-lug length of 39.5mm and a case thickness of an incredibly thin 6mm that ensures a comfortable fit. On the right side, a domed cabochon inset crown. The polished bezel holds a flat sapphire crystal above a stunning “Snowflake” textured dial; applied Platinum baton indexes mark the hours that magically play with the light as you rotate your wrist. Platinum stick hands sit majestically in the centre; at 12 o’clock, we have the applied Credor motif completing this sophisticated dress watch. On the reverse, a screwed-down case back with the details of the watch engraved inside a quality high-precision Quartz Credor Cal. 8J80 movement. It comes paired with its original Credor 18mm leather strap and polished Platinum pin buckle and comes with its Credor presentation box and paperwork.
Personal Note
I still can't quite believe this... A Platinum Credor, with its original strap and Platinum buckle, original box and paperwork, and insanely impressive 'Snowflake' dial, all for way under £4,000. In a world still focused on stainless steel sport models, but slowly shifting its focus to value in the dress watch world, something like this reference GBAT031 will no doubt be snapped up soon and we will all look back and wish we were the one to snap it up when we could have. Don't sleep on this one, add it to your collection today!
The Brand
Seiko, with the success of the Grand Seiko quartz line in 1974, decided to create another luxury line called “Crêt D’or.” The term in English translates to Gold Crest, which was used to describe the top of the mountain. Later, in 1978, they produced their first catalogue and renamed the brand Credor, a combination of the original name. In 1980, they produced the world's thinnest movement at just under 1mm thick. Since then, Credor has been free to pursue exotic watchmaking, the likes of which we associate companies like Vacheron Constantin with A. Lange & Sohne.
