Macro Monday: Grand Seiko Spring Drive U.S. Limited Edition

This week we have an Atom Moore macro of the Grand Seiko Spring Drive U.S. Limited Edition. This unmistakable model features a dial painted in a style inspired by the Japanese art-form Kira-zuri. Throughout Japanese history, Kira-zuri was used in art to lend stars to skies and sparkling waves to the waters of pieces with mica. The dazzling effect was most often seen in landscape prints and kabuki backgrounds. The Grand Seiko Spring Drive U.S. Limited Edition features a Caliber 9R15 Spring Drive, the new singular Grand Seiko logo placement, and the high quality we simply have come to expect from Grand Seiko. Whether it’s in your collection, soon to be, or a “grail” watch, it’s worth keeping an eye on.
