Features
This model’s case design has evolved with a sporty character based on the Evolution 9 Style, a design language that represents a step forward for the Grand Seiko Style. The watch’s dial captures the serene beauty of a snowy moonlit night over Mt. Iwate, as seen from the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, the home of Grand Seiko’s mechanical watchmaking. The movement inside is the Caliber 9SC5, Grand Seiko’s first mechanical chronograph “Tentagraph.” Even with its 10-beat frequency, this movement achieves an impressive power reserve of approximately 72 hours (about three days) when fully wound.

An Evolution 9 sport design that enhances functionality.
The Evolution 9 Style represents the essence of Grand Seiko’s design philosophy, harmoniously blending Japanese aesthetics with refined craftsmanship. Based on this design language, this model adopts a form that ensures intuitive usability and excellent operability in any situation. The tachymeter bezel is made of highly scratch-resistant ceramic, allowing it to maintain its refined appearance over time.
A dial designed in pursuit of the ideal chronograph
The dial design follows the Evolution 9 Style and adopts a traditional chronograph layout. The distinctive hour and minute hands, along with the indexes with Lumibrite, are positioned with minimal clearance to enhance not only legibility during time measurement but also overall time readability. Mt. Iwate, visible from the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, serves as a source of inspiration and a spiritual anchor for the craftspeople. The dial combines a delicate pattern inspired by the mountain’s surface with a transparent blue tone, expressing the starry sky that spreads above its summit. This design reflects a vision of reaching the pinnacle of the ideal chronograph.
