Grand Seiko Evolution 9 White Birch Hi-Beat Automatic – SLGH005

Grand Seiko’s SLGH005 is part of the Evolution 9 Collection and is known as the “White Birch”. It is housed in a 40mm stainless steel case that is a 11.7mm and 47mm lug to lug, with a box shaped sapphire crystal and screw down crown providing 100m of water resistance. This watch is powered by one of Grand Seiko’s best and newest automatic movements, the Caliber 9SA5, incorporating a free-sprung balance and twin barrels providing 80 hours of power reserve. This caliber is a high beat movement, beating at 10 beats per second (or 36,000 per hour) with precision of +5 / -3 seconds per day, and visible behind a sapphire case back marked with the Limited Edition number.

Grand Seiko is known for intricate dials and incredible casework utilizing Zaratsu polishing to create a mirror finish. The case of the White Birch uses the Evolution 9 Style, which expresses Grand Seiko’s new design language and will be an important part of their signature in years to come. With its complex faceted case, highly legible hands, and prominent markers, it provides ergonomic proportions for the distortion-free finish. The dial showcases the coloration and texture of beautiful white birch tree forests surrounding the Grand Seiko Shizukuishi Studio in northern Japan. A blued steel seconds hand adds further visual interest. This Grand Seiko comes on a five-link polished and satin finished bracelet with a thre-fold clasp and two half links to finely adjust the fit.
