New Grand Seiko Tokyo Lion Tentagraph SLGC009








With its bold case in addition to newly added chronograph operation, this latest GS Sport model is a striking decision - if you dare.



Grand Seiko unveiled the bold, angular event design of the Tokyo Lion in 2019, and has due to the fact continued to enrich its functional with more versions - equally limited and regular development - the latest being typically the 2024 Sport Spring Drive GMT SBGE307 Tokyo Lion and Spring Drive Chronograph GMT SBGC275. This year, often the Grand Seiko Sport variety is joined by a completely new model with an updated style and design that houses the brand’s first mechanical chronograph activity, the Tentagraph.



The “Tokyo Lion” is a of Grand Seiko’s nearly all distinctive designs - the actual bold, angular case is definitely inspired by a lion’s foot. Measuring 43mm x 15. 6mm, this new model defines a strong statement, with its substantial, flat faces and claw-shaped lugs providing the ideal paper for Zaratsu polishing, maximizing its striking appearance.



In this latest progress, the claw-shaped, hairline end is even more pronounced in comparison with on previous models, stretches from the lugs to the viser and featuring striking time counter pushers. The SLGC009 is a first watch in the Sport activity collection to feature Huge Seiko’s Brilliant Hard Ti alloy. The box-shaped sky-blue crystal has an anti-reflective part on the inner surface, along with the case top features a indistinctly curved transparent caseback, which makes the watch even more comfortable for the wrist. The construction is water-repellant to 200 meters and may also withstand magnetic fields provides 4, 800 A/m.



The dial with the Grand Seiko Tokyo Lion Tentagraph SLGC009 retains the long-lasting lion-themed texture, inspired by means of “the mane of a big cat blowing in the wind” : resembling a series of horizontal, rope-like lines. Three-dimensional concave bowl-shaped subdials are integrated into the leading dial at 3, a few and 9 o'clock. Typically the chronograph totalizer features a dazzling red hand on a black background, while the brown moments subdial at 3 o'clock blends in with it. Often the angled black inner flange houses the minute/second trail around the periphery of the watch dial, which is marked in red and white to reflect the high-beat nature of the underlying mobility.



Diamond-cut hours markers (specifically designed to possibly be tall and hollow to fit ample Lumibrite) ensure great visibility and enhance the watch's aggressive aesthetic. The large hour or so and minute hands can also be generously coated with Lumibrite, contrasting against the dark beige background and setting off the hr markers with a bold search. The central chronograph give is embellished with a crimson tip to add a a finish touch to the dial, even though a low-profile date eye-port at 4: 30 contributes a practical touch.



As its name suggests, the particular Grand Seiko Tokyo Big cat Tentagraph SLGC009 is equipped with typically the brand's first mechanical chronograph movement, the high-frequency Tentagraph Caliber 9SC5. The 9SC5 is based on the Caliber 9SA5 and integrates a stop-watch module while maintaining excellent effectiveness. Running at a frequency connected with 5Hz (36, 000 oscillations per hour), the Tentagraph features a twin-barrel layout that gives a power reserve of seventy two hours. The movement in addition features Grand Seiko's enhanced Double Impulse escapement as well as a free-sprung balance, ensuring detail with an average daily change of +5 to -3 seconds - even when often the chronograph is activated.



The Tentagraph SLGC009 is fitted with a new developed brown rubber tie with a high-strength titanium triple-fold clasp with a push-button let go for comfort and durability.
