SLGH017G Evolution 9 Hi-Beat 40 mm Night Birch

Near the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi in northern Japan are areas known for their breathtaking white birch forests. This Hi-Beat 36000 watch shares the same Evolution 9 design as the multi-primed SLGH005 "White Birch", but here it features a subtle black dial inspired by the nighttime atmosphere of the white birch forests of the Hiraniwa Plateau, earning it the nickname "Night Birch". As with all the watches in the Evolution 9 collection, the prominence of its grooved hands and hour markers ensures perfect legibility. The alternation between the Zaratsu polishing, for a mirror finish without the slightest distortion, and the brushed finish, gives the case a discreet and harmonious shine. The 40mm case has wide lugs and a low center of gravity, giving it a perfect fit on the wrist. The watch is powered by the revolutionary 9SA5 caliber, a movement with an 80-hour power reserve and a precision of +5 to -3 seconds per day that combines two technologies: the energy-efficient double-pulse escapement and the double barrel, which offers increased energy.
