Quick TakeThis is a symphony of platinum and sapphire! The Grand Seiko SBGZ003, an absolute legend from the Masterpiece Collection, doesn't just tell time, it tells a story of craftsmanship from the famed Micro Artist Studio. With its slender platinum case and that ethereal "Snowflake" dial, it's like wearing a piece of the Shinshu winter on your wrist. Under the hood, the hand-wound Spring Drive Caliber 9R02 is a marvel, boasting an 84-hour power reserve that's as resilient as it is remarkable. You get that hypnotic, smooth sweep of the second hand that Spring Drive is famous for, ensuring an accuracy of ±1 second per day. And the subtle nod to Shiojiri with the bellflower-shaped barrel? Pure class. This isn't just a watch; it's an experience, a piece of horological art that whispers tales of dedication and an unwavering pursuit of perfection. It is time to experience this watch.

DescriptionThe Grand Seiko SBGZ003 is part of the prestigious Masterpiece Collection. The case of this watch is made of platinum, sized at a diameter of 38.5mm, a lug-to-lug distance of 43.7mm, and a thickness of 9.8mm, offering a slender profile on the wrist. Its weight is reduced thanks to these careful considerations in the dimensions of the case. The case back is see-through and screw-down type, showcasing the intricate Caliber 9R02 movement within. This Spring Drive movement is manually wound and provides a notable accuracy of ±15 seconds per month, translating to approximately ±1 second per day. It's designed to operate efficiently under standard conditions, withstanding magnetic fields up to 4,800 A/m and resisting splashes, although it's not intended for deep-water submersion or high-pressure water environments. The timepiece's front is protected by a dual-curved sapphire crystal, coated on the inner surface with an anti-reflective layer to enhance visibility.

The dial features the famed "Snowflake" pattern, reminiscent of the Shinshu region's winter landscapes, providing a backdrop to the smooth sweeping motion of the seconds hand. This model celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Spring Drive technology, incorporating two mainsprings set in parallel within a single barrel, utilizing the unique Torque Return System to achieve an extended 84-hour power reserve. A discreet power reserve indicator is positioned on the movement side, visible through the sapphire crystal case back, next to the barrel shaped like the bellflower, Shiojiri's symbol, where the Micro Artist Studio is situated. The watch is fastened with a 19mm crocodile leather strap, completed with a three-fold clasp featuring a push-button release mechanism constructed from Platinum 950, with certain parts in PT900.
