Grand SeikoHeritageModel No: SBGA211G-G21D

Grand Seiko Spring Drive Snowflake SBGA211 particularly crafted at the Shinshu Watch Studio in Japan’s Nagano Prefecture is a timepiece that is a testament to the meticulous artistry of its makers. The studio’s location, surrounded by the serene Hotaka mountains, inspires the design of the watch. The snowflake dial is reminiscent of snow, capturing its delicate beauty and ethereal light. This natural influence is integral to Grand Seiko’s ethos of harmonising timepieces with their environment.

The striking contrast between the snowflake dial and the blue-tempered steel seconds hand creates a visually dynamic element, drawing attention without overwhelming the design. The case, made from high-intensity titanium, not only contributes to the timepiece’s lightweight feel but also maintains a refined appearance, resistant to scratches and corrosion. The overall balance of materials and finishes results in a timepiece that is not only functional but also visually captivating, embodying the harmony of craftsmanship and design that Grand Seiko is renowned for.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
