Mt. Iwate, like never before

The beauty of the natural world is palpable at the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, where all Grand Seiko mechanical watches are made. Located in northern Japan, with Mt. Iwate in the distance, master craftsmen and women bring watches to life in a place deeply in tune with the local surroundings. This limited edition watch features a new textured dial inspired by the ridges of Mt. Iwate. The first Mt. Iwate pattern dial appeared in 2006 and has since become deeply associated with Grand Seiko mechanical watchmaking. Mt. Iwate is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan; its history can be felt in the rugged mountainscape and the lava flow at its northern base. The dial of this creation captures the timeless beauty of Mt. Iwate as seen from the sky, with the striking light-blue hue evoking the purity of the air and water that surround this landmark.

The Evolution 9 case is beautifully constructed, rendered in Ever-Brilliant stainless steel, which is a stainless-steel alloy that features greater corrosion resistance than is typically seen in the watch industry today. It is finished to a high degree with Zaratsu-polished and hairline surfaces. The case also features a lower center of gravity to ensure day-to-day comfort on the wrist.

Inside SLGH027 is the impressive Caliber 9SA5, a 10-beat movement boasting 80 hours of power reserve and a precision rate of +5 to -3 seconds a day. It features three important developments: Grand Seiko's Dual Impulse Escapement, free-sprung balance, and horizontal gear train.

About Grand Seiko

It was the determination to excel that brought about the birth of Grand Seiko in 1960. During its development and ever since, the idea that drove the designers and engineers was that Grand Seiko should be the ‘ideal’ watch with standards of precision, durability and beauty that would lead the world.
