Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Wako Clock Tower SLGH015 2022 [Preowned]

Overview

From the heart of Tokyo's prestigious Ginza district, a horological tribute to the iconic Wako clock tower emerges: the Grand Seiko Evolution 9 SLGH015. Crafted in 2022 to commemorate the tower's 90th anniversary, this ultra-exclusive timepiece is limited to a mere 50 pieces worldwide, making it a truly exceptional collector's item.

The design of the SLGH015 "Wako" edition is deeply inspired by the Wako department store's distinguished granite facade. The dial radiates a rich champagne hue, its subtle warmth mirroring the solid stone that has become a symbol of timeless Japanese elegance. Applied indices and the signature Grand Seiko dauphine hands maintain a balanced sportiness, reflecting the brand's refined aesthetic.

At the heart of this exceptional timepiece beats Grand Seiko's acclaimed 9SA5 hi-beat automatic caliber. Operating at a silky smooth 36,000 vibrations per hour, this manufacture movement also boasts an impressive 80-hour power reserve, achieved through its innovative twin mainspring barrels – a testament to Grand Seiko's high-end watchmaking prowess.

The 40mm stainless steel case is meticulously finished with Grand Seiko's renowned Zaratsu distortion-free polishing, showcasing the brand's dedication to exceptional craftsmanship. Turning the watch over reveals a transparent caseback, offering a glimpse of the exquisite movement and featuring individual numbering alongside a special "Wako" engraving, a subtle nod to the rarity of this release. With a water resistance of 100 meters, it meets modern sporting standards. For the discerning collector who appreciates Japanese horology and Ginza's iconic spirit, the SLGH015 "Wako" is an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of history.
