Each winter, Lake Suwa in Japan often freezes over, forming a natural ridge across its surface—a phenomenon known as Omiwatari, or “where the gods walk.” This captivating legend serves as the inspiration for the delicately textured dial of this hand-wound Spring Drive timepiece. Crafted by the artisans at the nearby Shinshu Watch Studio, the dial evokes the quiet beauty of snow-covered ice. Housed within is the Spring Drive Caliber 9R31, equipped with a Dual Spring Barrel that provides a 72-hour power reserve. The exhibition case back reveals both the movement’s fine finishing and the power reserve indicator.

Technical information about this watch

Grand Seiko Elegance "Omiwatari" 38.5mm

A water resistance icon in the shape of a shield. On the shield is a drop of water and beside the water are two lines that looks like waves.

30M / 3 ATM water resistance

Water resistance indicates a watch's ability to withstand moisture and water. Ratings are measured in metres (M) or atmospheres (ATM). For instance, 30M (3 ATM) is suitable for light splashes, while 100M (10 ATM) and above are ideal for swimming and diving. Regular maintenance helps retain water resistance over time.

38mm case size

Case size, measured in millimetres (mm), impacts the watch's look and fit. Men's watches typically range from 38mm to 46mm, and women's from 26mm to 36mm. Larger cases make a bold statement, while smaller cases offer a classic look. Choosing the right size ensures comfort and style.

A power reserve icon that looks like a gauge that indicates how much power is left.

72 hours power reserve

Power reserve is the duration a watch runs on a full wind or charge. Mechanical watches usually offer 40 to 80 hours, with some extending to several days. Quartz watches, powered by batteries, last several years. Knowing the power reserve helps maintain accurate timekeeping.
