Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive ‘White Birch’ Watch

The textured dial for this ‘Nature of Time’ themed timepiece is inspired by the birch highland forests near the Grand Seiko studios in Japan.

‘The Nature of Time’ theme features prominently in Grand Seiko watch designs – a Japanese spirituality where each moment is a unique expression unveiled through light and shadow. The watchmakers’ pride in their surroundings is represented from engineering watch movements that emulate the smooth motion of time passing, to creating dials reflecting the beauty of Japanese nature.

This timepiece is powered by the brand’s iconic Spring Drive movement, one of the most significant developments in recent watchmaking which took 28 years to develop. With a superior level of precision, Spring Drive generates energy with a mainspring combined with an electronic regulator, never requiring a battery change. Seiko Watch Corporation pioneered Spring Drive which is only available in their timepieces.

Every Grand Seiko features signature high standards of Japanese precision, durability and legibility, handcrafted by Takumi artisans. Grand Seiko: beautifully, precise Japanese watchmaking, from the pinnacle of Seiko Watch Corporation’s in-house ‘manufacture.’
