Grand Seiko Evolution 9 x AJHH Yukishiro LE SLGA017 2023 [Preowned]

Overview 

For Grand Seiko, inspiration often comes from surveying the Japanese landscape. In the case of their latest limited edition, the SLGA017, one need only gaze upon the pristine winter scenery surrounding Mt. Iwate in Shizukuishi. This is the studio where their most prestigious mechanical marvels are brought to life - an area awash in powdery snowscapes under brilliant blue skies.

The dial itself is a romance with this frosty vista, rendered in a soft "Skyflake" blue hue that evokes sunlight playing off fresh snowdrifts. Grand Seiko's iconic diamond-dusted texture creates depth and dimension, its faceted surfaces shifting like nature's crystalline palette. At 40mm, the angular stainless steel case is pure Grand Seiko geometry, with flawless distortion-free finishing that can only come from their Shinshu atelier.

Peer through the sapphire caseback and you'll find the manufacture's revered 9R series Spring Drive caliber, a clever hybrid design melding the refinement of a traditional hairspring with quartz precision. Better yet, this Hi-Beat movement offers an incredible 120-hour power reserve. Completing the wintery motif is an 18k yellow gold "GS" logo adorning the bracelet's clasp - a luxurious accent fit for such a limited gem.

Only available through a curated selection of Japan's Association of Haute Horlogerie boutiques, the SLGA017 is a limited edition of 255 pieces.
