The dial of this Grand Seiko Evolution 9 watch is inspired by Japan’s Atera River as it flows through the Atera Valley; its colour shifting and deepening with the changing depth of the water. The blue-green gradation is finished with the ‘Atera Pattern,’ capturing the ever-changing interplay of light and colour along the river's course. Silver-toned hands trace the hours with quiet elegance against the richness of the dial.
The 40mm case and bracelet are crafted in Ever-Brilliant Steel - Grand Seiko's proprietary alloy with a corrosion resistance 1.7 times higher than standard stainless steel, and a brilliantly white hue that lends the Zaratsu-polished surfaces an exceptional luminosity. The anti-reflective box sapphire crystal glass and screw-down crown ensure water resistance to 100m. The three-fold clasp features a push-button release and micro-adjustment function for a precise, personalised fit.
At the heart of the watch is the calibre 9RB2, powered by the Spring Drive UFA - Ultra Fine Accuracy movement. The UFA designation marks this as the most accurate wristwatch powered by a mainspring in the world, achieving an extraordinary accuracy of +/-20 seconds per year.
Every Grand Seiko features signature high standards of precision, durability and legibility, handcrafted in Japan by Takumi artisans.
