Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection Spring Drive SLGA021
$9,300.00
Lake Suwa before dawn
Lake Suwa sits to the southeast of the Shinshu Watch Studio, where Grand Seiko crafts all Spring Drive watches. The new Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Style SLGA021 is inspired by this serene body of water, featuring a dark blue dial that recalls gently lapping waves along the water's surface just before dawn.
Representative of the Evolution 9 Style, the 40mm stainless steel case has a lower profile and center of gravity, ensuring a comfortable fit on the wrist. Its faceted mid-case features a blend of Grand Seiko's Zaratsu polishing and hairline finishing, giving the whole watch a dynamic look and feel. This level of finishing is accomplished by hand as it demands a high degree of skill.
Powered by Spring Drive Caliber 9RA2, SLGA021 has a notable 120-hour (5-day) power reserve and an improved accuracy of ±0.5 seconds per day, or ±10 seconds per month. 9RA2 takes the power-reserve indicator off the dial and moves it to the case back side of the watch. The seconds hand glides across the SLGA021’s textured blue dial, evoking the nature of time.

Give your watch a quick check on a regular basis, wiping down the face and bracelet with a soft cloth, checking the leather on a strap, and making sure that the strap or bracelet is firmly attached to the watch face. Also, while many watches are water resistant, few are truly waterproof, so if you find that moisture or dust has penetrated the case of your watch, bring it into your local Ben Bridge store where we can have one of our watchmakers clean it out for you.
Our best advice on watch maintenance is to never attempt do-it-yourself repairs, no matter how handy you are or how good the instructions are on Youtube. Watches are super complex little machines and only an expert watchmaker should be trusted to get a watch back into working condition. Attempts by an untrained repair person may seriously damage the watch and can even invalidate factory warranties.
In general, having your watch checked regularly by your Personal Jeweler or watchmaker and serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines should keep it in excellent shape.
