Grand Seiko Evolution 9 SLGH005 White Birch automatic 40 mm Full Set 2021

The pitch

The "White Birch" model SLGH005 captures the dynamism of the white birch forests located near the Shizukuishi Studio, where all Grand Seiko mechanical watches are made. Viewing the dial provides the same sensation as walking through these forests, the feeling of getting as close as possible to the true nature of time and touching eternity with your fingertips.

Design side

The overall aesthetic of the watch matches the Evolution 9 design, which will become an important part of Grand Seiko's signature in the years to come. The prominence of its grooved hands and indexes ensures perfect legibility. Alternating between Zaratsu polishing, for a mirror finish without the slightest distortion, and brushed finishing, gives the case a discreet and harmonious shine. The case has large lugs and a low center of gravity, giving it a perfect fit on the wrist.

Movement side

This is the information to remember for this Heritage Serie 9 model. This Grand Seiko is powered by the revolutionary Calibre 9SA5 Hi-Beat 36,000 offering a power reserve of 80 hours and high precision at +5 / -3 seconds per day. Recent and reliable, the 9AS5 caliber was first introduced in 2020. It embodies three significant developments such as the new double impulse escapement, the Grand Seiko free balance and the horizontal gear train. The package represents a new standard in advanced watchmaking.
