Grand Seiko White Birch Hi-Beat SLGH005 - 2022
Grand Seiko White Birch Hi-Beat SLGH005
Released in 2021, the White Birch from Grand Seiko helps debut their new design language, known as Design 9. Based on the 44GS case, it debuts strong new hands and more complex markers, and with the overall thinner case and new bracelet it looks like an evolution of the already stunning Grand Seiko 44GS lines.
Housed within this 40mm steel case is the absolutely spectacular White Birch dial, echoing the dynamism of the white birch tree forests near the studio in Shizukuishi, where all Grand Seiko mechanical watches are crafted. It looks amazing in photos, and even better in person.
Powering it is the new 9SA5 Hi-Beat movement with 80 hour power reserve, and allows for a thickness of 11.3mm even with automatic winding. Finishing levels on the movement are now even better, and the skeletonization of the rotor allows for a better view.
This particular example was sold locally in September 2022 and presents in TZ Near Mint condition, with barely any signs of use at all other than perhaps the smallest of swirlies. Please see images for full condition details.
Comes with outer box, inner box, warranty card dated September 2022, GS inspection certificate, Watch Vault cleaning cloth and Seiko pouch, instruction booklet, hang tag and spare links to complete the bracelet.
Absolutely one of the best releases from Grand Seiko thus far in our opinion. RRP is $13,600 AUD - save on this near-new example that’s only months old.
