Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection Spring Drive 5 Days High-Intensity Titanium “Lake

In 2021, Grand Seiko unveiled the SLGA007, a limited-edition release that introduced the Lake Suwa dial pattern and paired it with the design language of Grand Seiko’s Evolution 9 collection. Today, at Watches and Wonders Geneva, Grand Seiko announces the SLGA019, an extension of that dynamic design now available as a regular production model.

The dial of the SLGA019 evokes the surface of Lake Suwa and its gentle waves in the early morning hours when a breeze stirs the long, shallow lake. The dial manifests different colors depending on the angle at which it catches the light, reinforcing the connection to wind moving across and changing the surface of the water. Eschewing the warm accents of its predecessor, the SLGA019 instead features a silver-tone handset and logo, giving the dial side of the watch a more subdued appearance. Legibility remains at the forefront, however, with the large hands and grooved, prominent indices allowing for quick reading of the time.
