Grand Seiko Refreshes Evolution 9 Hi-Beat with Four New References

Grand Seiko debuts four new Evolution 9 Hi-Beat references (SLGH029, SLGH031, SLGH033, SLGH035) for 40mm cases in High-Intensity Titanium or Ever-Brilliant Steel, adding a redesigned bracelet with a tool-free micro-adjust clasp and a box-type sapphire crystal. Powered by the 9SA5 at 36,000 vph, these watches deliver 80-hour power reserve and +5/-3 seconds/day accuracy, with pricing at €11,700 for the Titanium model and €10,400 for the Steel variants, and a release planned for October 2026. The set continues Evolution 9’s refined, versatile design, featuring Birch-inspired dials (Black/White/Green Birch) and an Iwai River–inspired blue dial on SLGH035.

Grand Seiko quietly upgrades Evolution 9 with five Spring Drive U.F.A. models

Grand Seiko updates its Evolution 9 Spring Drive line with five non-limited models powered by the 9RB2 Ultra Fine Accuracy movement. Four wear Ever-Brilliant Steel and one uses High-Intensity Titanium (SLGB007), all with a 72-hour power reserve and ±20 seconds per year accuracy; sizes are 40x11.7mm for four models and 37x11.4mm for SLGB015, with dial themes of Lake Suwa, White Birch, and Atera Valley. A new three-step micro-adjustable clasp and a slimmer bracelet improve wearability; prices start at €10,400 for most models and €11,700 for SLGB007, with availability from September 2026. This is evolution, not revolution, in Grand Seiko’s flagship line.
