Inspired by the serene Hotaka mountains of Japan’s Nagano Prefecture, this watch is widely known as the “Snowflake” for its delicate, textured pure white dial that captures the look of freshly fallen snow. Structurally strong with a featherlight feel, it is crafted from high-intensity titanium – offering excellent scratch resistance and a weight nearly 30% lighter than steel, making the Snowflake a piece that rewards close attention and invites daily wear.
Presents itself in brand new condition. Features a high-intensity titanium case with clean brushed surfaces and mirror-like polished accents, while the exhibition caseback offers a clear view of the Spring Drive movement within. Against it the white dial, the blue second hand glides in Spring Drive’s signature motion – bringing life and movement to the dial’s calm, snow-like surface.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds and a date display. A power reserve indicator at 8 o’clock adds functional balance, marking the impressive 72-hour autonomy. The minute hand and date wheel can be adjusted using the screw-down crown on the right side of the watch.
Comes as a full set, including the watch pillow, travel case, warranty card and a manual.
The “Snowflake” represents a thoughtful balance of natural inspiration and technical precision – where a dial shaped by the spirit of Shinshu meets the quiet mastery of Spring Drive and the everyday comfort of titanium. It draws quiet admiration through its neat design and graceful movement – made for collectors who value depth over display and intention over trend.
