The first thing you notice about this elegant watch is the dial. It particularly captures the atmosphere of the white birch forests so characteristic of region where Studio Shizukuishi, the place where all Grand Seiko mechanical watches are manufactured, is located. Indeed, in both summer and winter, the long, slender trunks and white bark of the birch trees here form a shimmering vista that is at once beautiful and mysterious. <\/strong><\/p>

HERITAGE COLLECTION<\/h3>

And anyone looking closely at the dial will experience exactly the same feeling as a visitor to these woods. With its intricate texture, fine details and subtlety, this new Series 9 White Birch from the Heritage Collection is therefore like a window opening up to Japanese nature and the extraordinary craftsmanship of Grand Seiko.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

The prominent hands and grooved markers ensure perfect legibility, while the Zaratsu-polished, distortion-free mirror finish and delicate hairline finish alternate to give the case a calm and harmonious look. Inside, the revolutionary Hi-Beat 36000 Caliber 9SA5<\/a><\/strong>, which offers a pleasant 80-hour power reserve thanks to improved energy efficiency. First presented in 2020, this timepiece features three key developments: the all-new Dual Impulse Escapement, the Grand Seiko free-sprung balance and the horizontal gear train. And while it offers advanced functionality and superior precision, the calibre has remained beautifully flat, benefiting the watch's slim profile.
