New Release
Cazalea introduces the Grand Seiko Lady Snowflake and Skyflake NO DATE models, highlighting their appeal for those with smaller wrists or seeking an alternative to Rolex. These timepieces showcase Grand Seiko's renowned dial craftsmanship, inspired by the snow-covered Hotaka mountain range, and feature the new, compact Caliber 9F51 movement.
The Grand Seiko Snowflake dial emerged about 20 years ago, evoking the beauty of the snow-covered Hotaka mountain range in Nagano Prefecture, where Grand Seiko Spring Drive and quartz watches are created. Its finely textured surface, shaped by subtle variations in depth across the pristine white dial, remains a hallmark of Grand Seiko and its philosophy, the Nature of Time.
This celebrated dial design later inspired a light blue variation, affectionately known as the Skyflake, whose gentle hue captures the image of wind-swept snow shimmering beneath a clear sky.
Today, Grand Seiko unveils two new creations featuring the renowned Snowflake and Skyflake dials. Each timepiece is presented in a 33.0mm x 9.1mm case, the slimmest and smallest in diameter of any Grand Seiko 9F creation to date. These compact dimensions are made possible by Caliber 9F51, the first new movement in the 9F family in six years.

May become a member of our family next year! I just need to mentally start the process of buying a new watch. 😌 Thanks for reminding.
But find the case a bit thick, given the 2,2mm movement 🤷🏻♂️ They are hardly slimmer than the SBGX097 I have with the old style movement 🤷🏻♂️
