Grand Seiko Introduces Two New Timepieces to the Evolution 9 Collection

Grand Seiko unveils two new timepieces in the Evolution 9 Collection, each inspired by the ever-changing landscapes of Japan and a reflection of the brand’s philosophy of The Nature of Time.

A mechanical chronograph that imparts the spirit of Mt. Iwate reflecting the morning sunrise.

This mechanical chronograph, which has been created in the Evolution 9 Style, takes the fusion of Grand Seiko’s spirit with the aesthetic sensibilities of Japan to a high level. The dial pattern is reminiscent of Mt. Iwate, the peak visible from Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, where Grand Seiko’s mechanical watches are manufactured. Its copper-pink color exudes a dignified presence as if bathed in morning sunlight.

Powered by the Caliber 9SC5, a chronograph movement vibrating at 10 beats per second, this creation operates continuously for up to about 72 hours (about 3 days) when fully wounded.

A textured blue dial evokes a moonlit birch tree in this manual-winding, 10-beat mechanical timepiece.

This 10-beat, manual-winding mechanical watch is based on the “Evolution 9 Style,” a unique design grammar that takes the fusion of Grand Seiko’s spirit with the aesthetic sensibilities of Japan to a higher level. Its textured, navy-colored dial evokes the bark of a white birch tree illuminated by the moon. Featuring a slender stainless-steel case that is a mere 9.95mm thick, the creation has an appearance worthy of a Grand Seiko dress watch. The bezel is refined, with a narrow profile that complements the lugs, whose clean lines are echoed on the dial by the indexes. The manual-winding movement is the Caliber 9SA4, which features a high number of vibrations, 10 per second, to maintain a stable level of accuracy, as well as a generous power reserve of up to 80 hours.
