Case: Brushed & polished stainless steel case. Light blue dial with a very fine snowflake effect finish. Faceted brushed & polished hour & minute hands. Blue central seconds & power reserve hands. Applied brushed & polished faceted index hour markers. Fine printed minute/seconds track. Date window at 3 o'clock.
- Power Reserve Indicator:
- located between 7 & 8 o'clock.
Strap: Fitted on its original Grand Seiko blue alligator leather strap with a push-button deployant buckle. The strap is excellent near-new condition with the majority of its wear life-span remaining. We would be comfortable grading the strap in 97%+ overall condition.
Movement: Powered by a Grand Seiko Spring Drive caliber 9r65: The Spring Drive movement is for the most part mechanical, but with an 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 turning too fast.
- The seconds hand moves in a continuous extremely smooth gliding motion and is accurate up to +/- 1 second per day.
- Contains 30 jewels & has an approximate power reserve of 72 hours (3 days).
Condition: This watch is in pristine near-new condition. The watch arrived into our office with only super light signs of wear which are almost indiscernible. Due to its near perfect condition, we have chosen not to have this watch polished or even buffed, thus maintaining the original factory 'zaratsu' finishing. We would be comfortable grading this watch in 97%+ overall condition. Delivered in its original box with all papers.
