We are excited to have received the new Grand Seiko SLGA009 Evolution 9 Spring Drive White Birch watch.
The watch’s design is true to the Grand Seiko Style defined back in 1967 with the celebrated 44GS. However, it also announces an important step forward in Grand Seiko design. To be known as the Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Style, this new grammar of design takes Grand Seiko’s ideals of beauty, legibility and wearing comfort to new levels. A Spring Drive creation inspired by the white birch forests of Japan marks the start of a new collection.
The delicate texture of the movement's finish reflects the frost that winter brings to the trees in Shinshu. The bridge lines and hole edges are diamond-cut to reflect light from all angles and the jewels and the tempered blue power reserve indicator add a quiet sparkle that is a delight to behold. Calibre 9RA2 delivers a power reserve of up to 120 hours and is accurate to ±10 seconds per month.
Its Zaratsu polished, distortion-free mirror finish and delicate hairline finish alternate to give the case a quiet and harmonious glow. Its powerful hands and grooved, prominent markers ensure perfect legibility. The case’s centre of gravity is lower, and the bracelet has just the right width and depth to ensure that the watch sits easily and securely on the wrist.
The ‘White Birch’ timepieces, both high-beat and Spring Drive, form the new Evolution 9 Collection starting in February 2022. Explore a selection of our Grand Seiko collection below.
