The three design principles that define the
Evolution 9 Style

Nine design elements based on the
three design principles
Grand Seiko
Evolution 9 Style
The Evolution 9 Style has nine design elements that arise from these three design principles.
E9 Calibers
The Evolution 9 Collection uses the latest Grand Seiko movements, which were developed on a foundation of longstanding tradition and technical expertise.
9S Mechanical
The concept of Grand Seiko was born from the desire to build the world's best watch, and the collection continues to push precision in mechanical watches to the limits of timekeeping technology. As a true manufacture, Grand Seiko combines the latest technology with hand craftsmanship to raise the art of mechanical watchmaking to the highest possible level.9R Spring Drive
Spring Drive, one of the great innovations in modern watch making history, regulates a spring-driven movement with state-of-the-art electronic technology that functions without batteries or other external power source. Its sole power source is a mainspring, which drives a series of gears. A rotor, connected to the end of these gears, generates a small electrical charge that activates an electronic circuit and quartz oscillator. Its accuracy is unprecedented for a watch wound by a mainspring. The development of the 9R Spring Drive movement was possible only because Grand Seiko is one of the few manufacturers with expertise in both mechanical and electronic watches.
