Grand Seiko Spring Drive Chronograph GMT 15th Anniversary

The Evolution 9 Collection represents the future of Grand Seiko. Based on the Grand Seiko Style which has inspired each and every creation since 1967, the Evolution 9 Collection takes the legibility and comfort of Grand Seiko to a new level. One of the first Evolution 9 Collection watches was the Hi-Beat 36000 80 hours which won the Men’s Watch prize at the 2021 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. Today, the realm of the Evolution 9 Collection expands with the addition of five new Spring Drive sport watches. Two feature a GMT caliber, two are GMT chronographs and the fifth is a 200m diver’s watch.

While the pedigree of the Grand Seiko Style is unmistakably evident in every watch, the refine- ments of the Evolution 9 Style are also clear to see. The lugs are wider and the bracelets are more robust and, like the cases, have a low center of gravity to ensure that the watches sit comfortably and securely on the wrist. The hands are bolder and more clearly differentiated for even greater legibility and the numerals on the bezel are of a new font developed especially for the Evolution 9 Collection.
