Grand Seiko has released a dress watch from the Evolution 9 collection, which is equipped with a new generation hand-wound mechanical movement, Caliber 4SA9. One limited model and one regular model will be released for a limited time on Friday, August 1, 2024.

Caliber 9SA5, which is based on the innovative automatic movement Caliber 9SA4, achieves a high frequency of 10 vibrations per second, which leads to stable precision, and a long duration of up to 80 hours.

In addition, In order to achieve a pleasant feel and sound when winding the watch, the shapes of the ``Kohaze'' and ``Kohaze spring'' have been significantly revised, and the characteristic ``Kohaze'' movement can be seen through the see-through case back.

This new model is a dress watch based on the "Evolution 9 Style", with a completely new design that includes narrower indexes, bezels, and lugs. It is a delicate and elegant model that is suitable for a sophisticated hand-wound dress watch.

The design of the dial is inspired by the majestic white birch forest of Hiraniwa Kogen, which is located in Iwate Prefecture, the same region as Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi. The beauty of white birch bark, with its irregular undulations, is expressed in the intricate stamped pattern.

The limited edition model uses gorgeous 18K pink gold for the case and clasp. In addition, the SD mark (Special Dial mark) is placed at the 6 o'clock position to indicate that the index is also made of solid gold.

The regular model's case material is made of ``Brilliant Hard Titanium,'' a proprietary material that is whiter and more beautiful than regular titanium. It has a high-quality shine that is suitable for a Grand Seiko dress watch.
