A silver dial complements the 38.5mm platinum 950 case, which features Grand Seiko\u2019s signature Shinshu pattern with a metallic texture. The hour and minute hands, as well as the hand-applied diamond markers, are made of 14-karat white gold. The minute track, lettering, and brand name at six o\u2019clock are also engraved. The seconds hand is tempered in a shade of gray.<\/p>\n

On the inside, the hand-wound Spring Drive caliber 9R02 beats using a double barrel as well as the brand\u2019s Torque Return system, which harnesses unused energy to increase the power reserve \u2013 a maximum of 84 hours, which is indicated on the rear side. The highly accurate movement (\u00b1 1 second per day) is beautifully finished and decorated, with the barrel taking inspiration from a bell flower, the symbol of Shiojiri, where the watches are produced at the Micro Artist Studio. <\/p>\n
