Grand Seiko SLGH005 Watch

Men’s Watch Prize at the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix 2021 The “White Birch” model SLGH005 captures the dynamism of the white birch forests located near the Shizukuishi Studio, where all Grand Seiko mechanical watches are manufactured. Observing the dial provides the same sensation as a walk in these forests, the feeling of coming as close as possible to the true nature of time and of touching eternity with your fingertips. The general aesthetic of the watch corresponds to the Evolution 9 design, which will become an important element of Grand Seiko’s signature in the years to come. The prominence of its hands and grooved indexes guarantee perfect readability. The alternation between Zaratsu polishing, for a mirror finish without the slightest distortion, and the brushed finish, gives the case a discreet and harmonious shine. The case has large lugs and a low center of gravity, giving it a perfect fit on the wrist. This Hi-beat watch is powered by the revolutionary 9SA5 caliber, which offers a power reserve of 80 hours thanks to to its increased energy efficiency."
