Grand Seiko Spring Drive Katana Limited Edition (2023)

Description

The Grand Seiko Spring Drive 9R65‑0ER0 limited edition celebrates Japanese swordcraft Katana Edition with its rich red dial and golden‑hued indices. Crafted from stainless steel and measuring 40 mm across, the case features a dual‑curved sapphire crystal and a see‑through back that reveals the Spring Drive Calibre 9R65.
