Grand Seiko Evolution 9

Inspired by “Ushio”

Grand Seiko’s 200m diving timepiece is powered by the Spring Drive Caliber 9RA5, meaning it offers 0.5-second-a-day precision and comes with an impressive five-day power reserve. The Grand Seiko Spring Drive diver’s watch is made from high-intensity titanium, a material that is 30 per cent lighter than stainless steel – and even more durable.

Grand Seiko has looked to the richly biodiverse waters that surround Japan for its singular diver’s watch. Inspired by “Ushio” (Japanese for “tide”) the SLGA015 is a tribute to the powerful north-flowing Kuroshio Current – also known as the “Black Stream”. This is realised through a deep-black dial and a textured surface that mirrors the dynamic movement of the waves.

The watch is part of the Evolution 9 Collection and Grand Seiko’s commitment to refining core principles of beauty, legibility and comfort in a contemporary design. This dedication to self-improvement exists in each piece’s permanence: a ceramic rotating bezel is protected from scratching while a three-fold clasp with a secure lock contributes further solidity. 

The Grand Seiko Spring Drive SLGA015 is available now at Grand Seiko boutiques and selected retail partners worldwide.
