The intricately textured dial of the SLGB001 captures the serene beauty of the frost-covered trees that define the Kirigamine Highlands in winter. Its deep, lustrous blue surface reflects the subtle interplay of light and shadow, evoking the crisp stillness of a frozen landscape.
The Evolution 9 (E9) design follows Grand Seiko’s signature aesthetic, with its broad, faceted hands; prominent grooved markers; and precise combination of Zaratsu-polished and hairline-finished surfaces. Measuring 37mm in diameter, the case’s compact proportions ensure a comfortable and elegant fit on the wrist. The SLGB001 is presented on a crocodile strap, secured with a Platinum 950 three-fold clasp featuring elements of 18k white gold.
The SLGB001 is powered by the revolutionary Spring Drive Caliber 9RB2, a movement that sets a new standard in precision. With an extraordinary annual accuracy of ±20 seconds, it earns the Ultra Fine Accuracy (U.F.A.) designation, making it the most precise mainspring-powered movement ever created. This achievement is made possible through an advanced quartz oscillator, a newly developed integrated circuit, and a vacuum-sealed regulation system that shields the movement from environmental factors. The 72-hour power reserve and 34-jewel construction ensure long-term performance and reliability. Through the exhibition case back, the movement’s fine detailing and mirror-polished bevels reflect the masterful craftsmanship of the Shinshu Watch Studio, where Grand Seiko Spring Drive timepieces are made.
Designed in the Evolution 9 Style, the SLGB001 refines Grand Seiko’s ideals of beauty, legibility, and comfort in a smaller 37mm case. The striking form blends distortion-free Zaratsu polishing with delicate hairline finishes for a soft glow, while bold, grooved indexes and powerful hands enhance readability.
The deep, lustrous blue dial of SLGB001 captures the quiet elegance of winter in the Kirigamine Highlands, where frost-covered trees stand in serene stillness. Its rich texture reflects subtle shifts in light, while the smoothly gliding silver-colored seconds hand enhances the dial’s sense of seamless, natural timekeeping—a hallmark of Spring Drive.
The case is crafted from Platinum 950 and features a specialized Zaratsu polishing technique, refined specifically for platinum, achieving the distinctive brilliance that defines Grand Seiko.

With a 72-hour power reserve and 34-jewel construction, 9RB2 embodies Grand Seiko’s relentless pursuit of innovation and precision.
