The dial is between matching 14k white gold mobile phone models, while the minute track as well as text are engraved about the dial.

As a torque go back system, it absorbs the particular unused torque of a entire mainspring and uses in which energy to wind typically the mainspring, thus increasing the energy reserve. The movement on its own is beautifully decorated, apparent through the exhibition caseback, while using highly polished edges in the two hand-brushed bridges delivering an elegant contrast to the hairline treatment of the rest of the main surface types. The pen barrel is adorned with a bellflower pattern in order to commemorate the city of Shiojiri, which is also the location of the business where this watch came to be. The lower bridge also characteristics an 18K gold tooth plaque engraved with “Micro Musician, ” another nod to be able to Grand Seiko’s master worksmen, although the plaque can also be custom made to the wearer’s preference.
