Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection Spring Drive U.F.A. "Kirigamine Highland Icy Forests"
SLGB003
Frozen Highlands, Time Kept Ultra Fine
A Microcosm of Winter’s Silence
The SLGB003 is not just a timepiece — it is a frozen landscape captured within 37mm of artistry. Its dial evokes the stillness of highland winters, where crystalline air and frost‑laden branches shimmer in pale silver‑blue. Each glance reveals textures that feel alive, as if the forest itself has been distilled into metal and light.
Precision Beyond Seasons
At its heart lies Caliber 9RB2, carrying the rare U.F.A. (Ultra Fine Accuracy) designation. This movement does not measure precision in days or weeks, but in the rhythm of an entire year. With an annual deviation of only ±20 seconds, it redefines what collectors can expect from mechanical‑quartz fusion. It is a chronometric promise that endures across seasons, echoing Grand Seiko’s relentless pursuit of perfection.
Compact Brilliance
The 37mm case — the most refined size yet for a 9R Spring Drive — is a statement of balance. Mirror‑finished bevels catch light like ice crystals, while the sapphire case back unveils a movement landscape reminiscent of winter stars scattered across Shinshu’s night sky. This smaller profile makes the SLGB003 an ideal companion for collectors who value elegance without compromise.
Crafted in Shinshu, Inspired by Nature
Every detail reflects the environment surrounding the Shinshu Watch Studio. The polished edges, jewel placements, and frosted textures are not decorative — they are echoes of the forests, mountains, and skies that inspire Grand Seiko’s artisans. The SLGB003 is a wearable canvas of Japanese minimalism, where understatement becomes extraordinary.
