Seiko is celebrating Disney's 100th anniversary with a special event at the Ginza 4-chome Seiko House Ginza Hall, featuring an exhibition and sales event called "adult Disney." The event will showcase Grand Seiko's limited items, high-end mechanical table clocks, and a Wako limited luxury collection. As part of these celebrations, Grand Seiko has released two limited edition models: the White Birch SLGH023 and the Green Birch SLGH025, available exclusively at the Grand Seiko Flagship Boutique in Ginza.
Limited to a maximum of 100 pieces each, only the number of reservations received during the period from June 23rd to August 27th 19:00 will be sold. The back cover of the see-through back features Mickey Mouse designed with the theme of Disney's 100th anniversary, making this a rare and valuable timepiece.
The limited edition models are based on the "Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection" and feature the latest design and movement. The white dial "SLGH023" has Mickey Mouse facing the front, while the green dial "SLGH025" has Mickey Mouse with his back turned and looking in profile. Both models use a classic style Mickey Mouse illustration with black eyes. The stainless steel part of the back cover is marked with the letters "LIMITED EDITION," indicating that it is a limited model.
The case and bracelet of these models are made of stainless steel, and the case size is 40 mm in diameter and 11.7 mm in thickness. The windshield is a box-type sapphire glass with an anti-reflective coating on the inside, and the water resistance is 10 atmospheres. It is equipped with the Caliber 9SA5 self-winding mechanical movement that boasts a power reserve of approximately 80 hours. So, of course, the specs are impressive, but what makes these limited edition models truly special is their design.
When viewed from the front, the face of "Shirakaba SLGH005 & SLGH011" is exactly the same as the limited edition models. For those who might not be familiar with Grand Seiko's "Shirakaba", it is the "white birch" dial that has become one of the brand's representative models. The magnificent white birch forest near the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, the manufacturing base for mechanical Grand Seiko, is expressed with a dial with stamped patterns and delicate coloring.
The Grand Seiko X Disney 100th anniversary limited edition models - White Birch SLGH023 & Green Birch SLGH025 are rare and valuable timepieces that capture the essence of their Evolution 9 spirit. They are a true gem for Grand Seiko enthusiasts and collectors, and a great investment for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and exquisite design. Don't miss your chance to add these collectible pieces to your collection!
