ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

Grand Seiko's Spring Drive mechanism, first introduced in 1999, is one of the most ingenious inventions of contemporary watchmaking. The brand currently brings all iterations of their Spring Drive movements under the 9R series. And calibre 9R65 is the most standard of all such movements, according to the brand. It powers many Grand Seiko watches with a high-precision automatic winding mechanism. It features a 72-hour power reserve displayed on the dial through an indicator and a date complication.
