Grand Seiko Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection Spring Drive U.F.A. Model SLGB003 Wins the Grand Prize at the Red Dot Design Awards, ‘Best of the Best’

≪ Evaluation Comments by the Judging Panel≫

Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection Spring Drive U.F.A. Model SLGB003

“Rooted in Japanese aesthetics, this wristwatch expresses the balance of light and shadow through a blend of mirror finish polished by zaratu polishing and hairline finishing. The dial, inspired by winter forests, creates poetic depth through layers, while the compact Spring Drive movement Caliber 9RB2 delivers exceptional precision. These elements come together to express the refined craftsmanship and nature-rooted beauty unique to the Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection Spring Drive U.F.A. SLGB003.”

The dial of the award-winning piece was inspired by the beauty of ‘Juhyo’ (frost-covered trees) seen during the harsh winter season, located on the east side of the ‘Shinshu Toki no Takumi Kobo’ located on the east side of the ‘Shinshu Toki no Takumi Kobo’ at Seiko Epson’s Shiojiri plant. The silvery blue dial color represents frosted trees enveloped in clear air, combined with a blue steel seconds hand.

This model is designed according to the unique ‘Evolution 9 Style,’ which pursues ease of use and beauty as a wristwatch, and is refined in terms of aesthetics, legibility, and wearability. Additionally, the Evolution 9 style features a balanced, beautiful shine that alternates between a distortion-free mirror finish and a delicate hairline finish, characteristic of the Evolution 9 style.
