Case: Brushed & polished solid 18kt yellow gold case. Domed sapphire crystal. Snow white dial with a very fine textured wind-swept snow pattern. Brushed & polished faceted yellow gold hour & minute hands. Blued steel seconds hand. Applied polished faceted yellow gold index hour markers. Fine printed minute/seconds track.
- Power reserve indicator: mounted on the back of the movement.
Strap: Fitted on brand new GS original brown alligator leather strap with a solid 18kt yellow gold push-button deployant buckle. The strap is brand new in unworn condition with its full wear lifespan remaining.
Movement: Powered by a GS manual-wind Spring Drive caliber 9R31, contains 30 jewels & has an approximate power reserve of 72 hours or 3 days.
- The Spring Drive movement is for the most part mechanical, but with a electrical powered regulating mechanism resulting in an extremely accurate timepiece.
- No external source of power (such as a battery) is required. The unwinding force of the mainspring generates a slight electrical current.
- The electrical power is then used to activate & power a quartz oscillator which vibrates at 32,786 Hz & transmits a precise reference signal to the Integrated Circuit.
- The IC compares the speed from the oscillator to the speed of the glide wheel (which drives the gears) and applies a magnetic brake when it detects the glide-wheel operating too fast.
- Thanks to its high frequency the seconds hand moves in a continuous smooth gliding motion.
Condition: In excellent near-new condition. We have had the watch very lightly & carefully spot-buffed to remove most light signs of wear that were present, however an effort was made to maintain the original factory 'zaratsu' finishing. We would now grade this watch at 97%+ overall condition. Delivered in its original box with all papers
. The factory warranty expires 08/2026.
