Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Limited Edition Hi-Beat Automatic – SLGH027

The Grand Seiko Limited Edition SLGH027 is a masterpiece that embodies the majesty of Japan’s natural landscape and the pinnacle of watchmaking craftsmanship. Part of the Evolution 9 Collection, this remarkable timepiece will be released as a limited edition of 1,200 pieces starting in May 2025. Inspired by the breathtaking ridges of Mt. Iwate, the textured dial captures the rugged beauty and timeless essence of this iconic mountain, rendered in a stunning light-blue hue that evokes the purity of the surrounding air and water.

Crafted in Ever-Brilliant Steel, a stainless-steel alloy with superior corrosion resistance, the SLGH027 features a radiant, mirror-like finish enhanced by Zaratsu polishing. Its harmonious blend of polished and hairline finishes makes for a striking yet refined appearance. The case, featuring a low center of gravity, combined with a perfectly proportioned bracelet, ensures a secure and comfortable fit on the wrist.

Beneath its elegant exterior lies the revolutionary Caliber 9SA5 movement. Powered by the Dual Impulse Escapement and twin barrels, it delivers an impressive 80-hour power reserve while maintaining a high-beat rate of 36,000 vibrations per hour. The movement’s finish, inspired by the rippling waves of the Shizukuishi River, adds a touch of nature’s beauty to this mechanical marvel.

True to Grand Seiko’s tradition of excellence, the watch offers exceptional functionality with 100-meter water resistance and magnetic resistance of 4,800 A/m. The clear case back reveals the engraved serial number and provides a glimpse of the intricate movement within.

The Grand Seiko SLGH027 is not just a watch—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, nature, and timeless elegance, designed for those who appreciate the fusion of artistry and innovation on their wrist.
