Grand Seiko White Birch Spring Drive SLGA009 - 2022
Grand Seiko White Birch Spring Drive SLGA009
Released in 2021, the White Birch from Grand Seiko helps debut their new design language, known as Design 9. Based on the 44GS case, it debuts strong new hands and more complex markers, and with the overall thinner case and new bracelet it looks like an evolution of the already stunning Grand Seiko 44GS lines.
Housed within this 40mm steel case is the absolutely spectacular White Birch dial, echoing the dynamism of the white birch tree forests near the studio in Shizukuishi, where all Grand Seiko mechanical watches are crafted. It looks amazing in photos, and even better in person.
Powering this latest reference of the White Birch is the spectacular twin-barrel 9RA2 Spring-Drive with 5 day power reserve, and allows for a thickness of 11.8mm even with automatic winding. Finishing levels on the movement are now even better, and the skeletonization of the rotor allows for a better view.
This particular example was first purchased in March 2022, and presents in TZ Good condition. There's a few small marks on the sides of the case, and the reason for the 'Good' rather than 'Excellent' grading is due to some extremely small dings around the outer edge of the bezel. They're barely noticeable, but they're there and we like to be totally transparent. Lugs show some strap change marks. Please see images for full condition details.
Bracelet contains all links, and shows desk dive marks mainly along the 12 o'clock side.
Comes with outer sleeve, outer box, inner box, warranty card dated March 2022, instruction booklet, card holder, hang tags and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
Absolutely one of the best releases from Grand Seiko thus far in our opinion. RRP is $13,595 AUD - save on this excellent example.
