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 95%+ 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 excellent near new condition. We have had the watch very lightly spot-polished to remove most signs of wear that were present, however an effort was made to maintain the original factory 'zaratsu' finishing. We would be comfortable rating this watch in a 96% overall condition. Delivered in its original box with all papers
