Summary
Nine new Evolution 9 references now span Grand Seiko’s full refreshed core lineup, combining five Spring Drive UFA models with four mechanical Hi-Beat watches in a broader collection overhaul.
The renewal adds nature-textured dials inspired by Lake Suwa, birch forests, Atera Valley and Genbi Valley, alongside Ever-Brilliant Steel or High-Intensity Titanium cases and new micro-adjustable clasps.
Five Spring Drive models use the Caliber 9RB2 with ±20 seconds annual accuracy and 72-hour power reserve; prices run from $10,200 to $11,400, with global availability set for September 2026.
Four Hi-Beat models run on the 36,000-vph Caliber 9SA5 with an 80-hour power reserve, arrive in October 2026, and are priced at $10,200 or $11,400.
The launch marks a new chapter for Evolution 9, with Grand Seiko framing the redesign around kodawari—its philosophy of relentless refinement across flagship products.
