Grand Seiko Elegance Collection Watch with White Dial, 38.5mm

Item # WGSB2496

Most winters, Lake Suwa freezes over and, every few years, a long ridge appears in the ice from one side of the lake to the other.

Tradition has it that this is the Omiwatari, or where the gods walk out over the ice. True or not, this legend has inspired the craftsmen and women at the nearby Shinshu Watch Studio to create a dial of exquisite subtlety for this hand-winding Spring Drive timepiece. It has the color, feel and texture of the snow-covered ice on Lake Suwa and is in a silver tone. The bracelet has a nine-row construction that ensures a soft and exact fit to the wrist. The watch is powered by Spring Drive Caliber 9R31 which has a Dual Spring Barrel that delivers a power reserve of 72 hours when fully wound. Its exquisite finishing is visible through the exhibition case-back along with the power reserve indicator.

Stainless steel exterior with a see through and screw back case. Glass material features an anti-reflective coating on inner surface. Case diameter measures 38.5mm, lug-to-lug is 43.7mm and has a thickness of 10.2mm. Bracelet band measures 19mm in width.
