First, one must understand that the craftsman in the Micro Artist Studio are top, top tier. They are the group that visits no one short of Mr. Philippe Dufour with some regularity, and the group that Mr. Dufour to this day holds in extremely high regard. This is true high-end finishing of the highest order, an until now, this has been reserved for Credor product. I’d always wondered why we never saw an insanely high-end Grand Seiko, and now we have.
Every detail about this Grand Seiko Spring Drive 8 Day Power Reserve
replica is special, it is designed with the diamond-dust-covered dial, meaning to make the wearer think of a the fresh snow seen in the Nagano region where the watch is born. The case is is made of platinum measuring 43 mm in diameter that seems a little lager, and is mirror polished.
In the Grand Seiko Spring Drive 8 Day Power Reserve replica, there is a brand new, in-house caliber featuring with an astonishing 198-hour power reserve, equal to eight days of power consisting of 307 components, and is regulated to an accuracy of +.5 seconds per day. It perform this process via three separate barrels that wind and expire linearly. The rigidity of the single plates helps against shocks to the watch. A single expertly finished bridge also ensures accurate positioning of each wheel in the gear train so that the transmission of power is most efficient. The plate is beveled at top to in fact outline Mt. Fuji, and the insanely high polished rubies and blued screws are meant to represent the lights of Suwa, the city just below the Micro Artist Studio.
