Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection

Green ‘Genbi Valley’ – SLGH021

Reference: SLGH021 | Limited Edition (1000 pcs) | Hi-Beat 36000

The Design: The Nature of Time

Inspired by the untamed beauty of the Genbi Valley in Iwate Prefecture, the SLGH021 represents the pinnacle of the Evolution 9 philosophy. It is a timepiece that balances dynamic power with serene artistry, capturing the emerald flow of the Iwai River through Grand Seiko’s world-class dial craftsmanship.

  • Genbi Valley Dial: A brand-new textured pattern that pays tribute to the rugged rock faces and lush greenery surrounding the Shizukuishi Studio.

  • Ever-Brilliant Steel: Marking its debut in the Evolution 9 line, this alloy offers a brilliant white sheen and a level of corrosion resistance exceeding standard stainless steel.

  • Evolution 9 Aesthetic: A lower center of gravity and wider lugs ensure the watch sits perfectly on the wrist, while bold, multi-faceted indexes provide unparalleled legibility.

  • High-Definition Finishing: Zaratsu-polished mirror surfaces contrast with hairline-brushed finishes, creating a light-and-shadow interplay unique to Japanese watchmaking.
