A new design for a new era

This collection is based on Grand Seiko’s original design philosophy, the Evolution 9 Style. The design fuses the classic spirit of Grand Seiko perfected over the decades with the subtle flow woven by light and shadow and the breathtaking beauty in between, to convey the essence of Japanese aesthetics. By addressing delicate transitions between light and shadow, these creations coax out the intrinsic beauty and function of the wristwatch to the maximum extent possible.

Spirit of Innovation

Three design principles of the next Grand Seiko


01
Evolution in aesthetics

Within the harmonious coexistence between light and shadow, designs are crafted to clearly express the rich beauty of the balance and the subtle gradations between – aesthetic qualities cherished by the Japanese from days of old.

02
Evolution in legibility

Meticulous consideration is devoted to clearly conveying the time of day. The hands and the indexes are powerfully three-dimensional, resulting in enhanced legibility.

03
Evolution in wearing comfort

The lower center of gravity of the case and the wider lugs help to prevent wobbling. The case fits snugly on the wrist, ensuring a truly pleasant and stable wearing comfort.

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.
