Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive ‘White Birch’ SLGA009G

This Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive is a hardly worn Full Set, bought in the UK in 2023. It is complete with everything that came from the factory and is immaculate in every way.

This Spring Drive Grand Seiko uses the latest Caliber 9RA2 which has a 120 hour power reserve and an enhanced precision rate of ±0.5 seconds per day. The Grand Seiko Spring Drive is part of the ‘Evolution 9’ or ‘Kyu’ collection.  These are the watches which Grand Seiko believe are the most precise, durable, wearable and beautiful watch possible. ‘Kyu’ in Japanese means both 9 – the highest single number possible and ultimate. Representing the aim for the ultimate in watchmaking.

This timepiece is inspired by the beauty of the Shizukuishi region in Japan, where Grand Seiko movements are made. Much more than the technical tour de force that we tend to think of them as, a Grand Seiko is an almost spiritual creation. Stepped in the history and beliefs of the Japanese culture. This an outstanding piece of horology.
