Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Green Birch Hi-Beat SLGH033

A dial designed to be read and enjoyed

With its intricate pattern and life-imbued green colouring, the watch’s dial dynamically expresses the white birch forests that grow in profusion near the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, the manufacturing base for Grand Seiko’s mechanical watches. Inside is the mechanical high-beat Calibre 9SA5, a Grand Seiko-exclusive automatic movement. Thanks to its innovative Dual Impulse Escapement and twin barrels, this movement achieves a high frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour while offering an impressive power reserve of approximately 80 hours when fully wound. Both the case and bracelet are made of Ever-Brilliant Steel, which shines whiter than conventional stainless steel while offering exceptional corrosion resistance. 

Radiance and serenity

The power of contrast permeates the design. The hairline finish to the side of the case contrasts calmly with the highly polished mirror finish of the bezel’s edge. The straight, sharp lines and diamond-cut edges to the hands and indexes stand out prominently against the soft, rounded angles of the case. The watch has radiance and serenity in equal measure and in perfect harmony.

A new design for a new era

Just as Calibers 9SA and 9RA make a significant and defining statement about the future of Grand Seiko’s technical development, this timepiece charts a new course for its design. Launched to mark the 60th anniversary of the very first Grand Seiko, this design expresses the true essence of Grand Seiko in a new way. It speaks to the next generation with its confident lines, powerful presence and quiet radiance but also draws on its deep roots in the traditions and culture of Japan.

Every Grand Seiko comes with a 5-Year limited manufacturers guarantee.
