"Ushio" in Grand Seiko Blue
The Evolution 9 Collection continues to grow. Grounded in the original Grand Seiko Style expressed in a Grand Seiko watch from 1967, the recent sports watch introductions in Evolution 9 build on enhanced legibility, wearability, and comfort. With wider bracelets and a lower center of gravity, Evolution 9 presents a further refinement of many long loved attributes of Grand Seiko design.
This year’s newest addition is a new variation of the Spring Drive diver that premiered a year ago, only this time around the black wave-pattern ushio dial and the ceramic bezel have been exchanged for another highly appropriate color, Grand Seiko blue.
Inside is the 9RA5 automatic Spring Drive movement with five days of power reserve. The 9RA5 is a next-generation Spring Drive movement whose many enhancements were designed to improve accuracy and performance. These include a new IC, dual-size barrels, and an offset Magic Lever. The movement is also slimmer and more structurally robust than previous 9R automatic movements, with an accuracy of ±10 seconds per month.

Water Resistance200 Meters
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.
