Details:
To the southeast of the Shinshu Watch Studio, where Spring Drive watches are made, one will find the gently lapping waters of Lake Suwa, a constant inspiration for Grand Seiko. Take, for example, the dial of the Spring Drive SLGA021, which evokes the surface of this very body of water. When one looks upon it, they can’t help but see gentle waves wafting over the wind-swept lake in the pre-dawn stillness. And like a gentle wind on an otherwise tranquil body of water, the dark blue color manifests differently depending on the angle at which light catches it. The watch is powered by the Caliber 9RA2 Spring Drive 5 days movement, assembled by the skilled artisans of the Shinshu Watch Studio and engineered to run approximately 120 hours (5 days) when fully wound. Like flowing water, the seconds hand moves with the quiet, natural pace of time itself thanks to the Spring Drive movement just below the dial’s surface.

When should I get a maintenance service?
Water-resistance timepieces are recommended to get checked yearly for a water-resistance check. A complete maintenance service of the watch is typically recommended after 5 years. If you notice any sudden changes in your watch's timekeeping, pushers/crown not operating, water moisture in dial, no energy in battery etc, we recommend you do a service immediately to prevent any further damage that can be costly to you down the road.
