Product Information

One of the all-time best-selling Grand Seiko watches is the Spring Drive “Snowflake”, which gets the name from the its distinctive textured dial. And until recently, the snowflake dial was only available on models with bracelets, save for a few pricey limited editions with gold cases. With the recent launch of the next-generation 9RA5 movement in the 60th Anniversary Spring Drive Diver SLGA001, the 9R65 will presumably be phased out in favour of a new calibre, though in practical terms there’s no need to – the 9R65 does what it is supposed to do, and does it well. Concluding thoughts When spring arrives, the plant’s only demand is moist soil. Water the plants deeply and thoroughly when rainfall is less than 2 inches per week. Keep up the watering schedule as long as the plant is growing. gold snowflake, Earring Ice crystals Snowflake, winter golden snowflakes, template, winter, golden Frame png 1200x1200px 628.54KB As lovely as they are ephemeral, snowflakes are the stuff that winter fantasies are made of. These natural wonders and their fanciful geometric designs evoke the frosty elegance of Scandinavian winters and the simple pleasures of childhood crafts. They practically beg to be brought indoors.

Why have such a boring end to this story when the entire design vocabulary on this watch bespeaks precision punctuated with sharp, pointed hands and perfect mirror finishes? Even the markers speak this language with their sharp, diamond-cut, right-angled corners. So why put a blunt end on the strap, one of the only parts we handle every day? Several in the business told me that there’s a reason for everything Grand Seiko does. Who am I to second guess the GS designers? Importantly, the case is robustly constructed, despite having the looks of a dress watch case. It’s sturdy, rigid, and rated to an impressive 100 m of water resistance. Growing snowflake Leucojum bulbs in the garden is an easy and fulfilling endeavor. Let’s learn more about how to grow snowflake bulbs. Spring & Summer Snowflake BulbsCaliber 9R65 Spring Drive is currently the most standard of Grand Seiko’s 9R Spring Drive movements. Since the Spring Drive’s advent in 1999, the power reserves on these have steadily improved. Today, the piece I’m reviewing has a 72-hour power reserve that automatically winds with the barest of wrist movement. Grand Seiko maintains that no machine can match the skill of its craftspeople; their skill gives Spring Drive its extreme precision. After spending some quality time with it, I agree. Choose a location with full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil. If your soil isn’t rich in organic matter, work plenty of compost or composted manure into the bed before planting. Sprinkle a small amount of bulb fertilizer over the compost before digging it deep into the soil.

Despite the name, summer snowflake bulbs ( Leucojum aestivum) bloom in mid to late spring in most areas, just a couple of weeks after the spring snowflakes ( Leucojum vernum). Both bulbs have grass-like foliage and dainty, fragrant drooping bells. They look almost exactly like snowdrops ( Galanthus nivalis), which bloom a couple of weeks before spring snowflakes. You can tell the difference between the two flowers by the fact that snowflakes have a green dot at the tip of each of its six petals, while snowdrops have dots on only three of its petals. Nothing could be easier than snowflake plant care. blue and white snowflake illustration, Elsa Snowflake Olaf The Walt Disney Company Desktop, snowflakes, blue, snowflakes, symmetry png 751x1063px 180.91KB While most Grand Seiko watches are pretty discreet on the wrist, the “Blue Snowflake” makes a statement due to its colour. The styling is most definitely old school, but the pale-blue dial is both modern and unusual; it’s an unorthodox colour for a man’s watch, especially one that leans towards the dress-watch category, but it works. The only thing I’d wish for is a return to the old-style Grand Seiko dials, which had both the Seiko and Grand Seiko logos – a feature that provided more vertical balance to the face of the watch. But now that Grand Seiko is its own brand, so that’s an impossibility. The case is a moderate size, at a little over 40 mm in diameter, but most crucially, it is proportioned well. The lugs are just nice in length and size, while also having tapered bevels on the outer edges for a bit of refinement – this is the details that make it better.

With the vintage dial as a guide, the “snowflake” dial was born. It starts as a dial blank, essentially a brass disc, that’s stamped by a 200 tonne press, creating the distinctive texture. The next key step is plating it with a specific silver alloy that creates the white finish. And along the way the dial is also drilled, printed, and applied with hour markers, for a total of 80 steps from brass disc to finished dial. That changed last year when Grand Seiko debuted the Spring Drive “Blue Snowflake” SBGA407. It combines the famous dial with a more classical case, and a good deal of practicality – date, Spring Drive accuracy, and a surprising 100 m water resistance.

Grand Seiko recommends not allowing the sun to beat down on the dial for extended periods and not exposing the watch to temperatures below 5°C or above 35°C. The technique is similar to the way the Japanese make traditional water paintings. The result is the rough appearance of a snowy field you see on the dial.

How to Grow Snowflake Bulbs

The original “Snowflake” was the Grand Seiko Spring Drive ref. SBGA011 (now known as the SBGA211) that made its debut in 2005. While it did have a titanium case and bracelet, which was fairly uncommon at the time, the SBGA011 was pretty much a standard Grand Seiko Spring Drive, except for the dial.

I understand. Without these two distractions the dial would be totally free of clutter, and we could enjoy the unobstructed view of the second hand gliding across the blue snow field. Wouldn’t that be something? Snails and slugs love to dine on snowflakes. If you see their slime trails in the area, it’s a good idea to set out traps and baits in spring. Some bait is harmless to children, pets and wildlife while others are quite toxic. Read the label carefully before making your choice.The entire dial is elegant and subtle in design and details. Take the power reserve for instance: the indicator is faintly shaded so that the scale darkens towards the bottom where it indicates fully wound. Spring Drive consumes the electrical current equivalent of 1/300,000,000 of that used to power a single LED bulb. Since then Grand Seiko has introduced several variants of the “Snowflake”, including one with gold markers and hands (SBGA259) as well as a variety of limited editions. Last year, Grand Seiko debuted the “Blue Snowflake” SBGA407, the first of the series on a strap instead of bracelet, and also the first one in a smaller, less sporty case, giving it a notably different look from its counterparts. Icy blue The four lugs are finished with the Zaratsu technique, which relies on a lapping machine that produces an exceptionally flat polished surface with minimal distortion. Based on machines once produced by Swiss machine-tool maker Gebrüder Sallaz, the machine is proprietary to Seiko, though similar equipment is produced by Japanese specialist Hayashi Seki and used by other Japanese watch brands. As a result, the surfaces of the lugs are subtly different from the other surfaces – compare the lugs to the flat bezel for instance – but the difference is only discernible up close. The 9R65 The date window, on the other hand, is a less important detail that captures the thought that goes into the design, as well as the quality of manufacturing. It bevelled edges with contrasting surfaces – polished on the outer edge and sandblasted on the inner edge.
