This new timepiece marks the first time Japanese brand Grand Seiko offers a mechanical chronograph. Created in titanium, the watch is equipped with the new Caliber 9SC5 Hi-Beat movement that beats 10 times per seconds to ensure precision timing. It is packed with an unprecedented three days of power reserve, even when the chronograph is activated. The caliber also houses the brand's proprietary Dual Impulse Escapement that transfers the energy in two ways: indirectly through the pallet fork and directly from the escape wheel.

Inspired by nature itself, Grand Seiko creates watches that align with the natural passing of time. Using metals and crystals that are discovered in nature, the brand's watchmakers dexterously transform these into pieces that pay tribute to their origin. While the watches embody wildlife, they resist the corrosion and tarnishing that nature's elements can incite, instead its horological creations retain a brilliant hue and challenge time through their lack of senescence.The Masterpiece collection proves a prime example of Grand Seiko's philosophy, namely to create watches that are 'reliable to wear until grandchildren' while displaying the 'pride of Japanese' culture. Fashioned by the company's most skilled watchmakers, the Grand Seiko Spring Drive and quartz mineral that make up these timepieces ensure their reliability. The Evolution 9 collection similarly comprises a high caliber and confidently cabinets Grand Seiko's technical advancements.
