Summary

  • Grand Seiko’s new SLGB015 joins the permanent collection as a 37mm Evolution 9 model in Ever-Brilliant Steel, arriving in early September 2026 at EUR 10,400.
  • The watch pairs the dark-blue Lake Suwa dial pattern with the calibre 9RB2 Spring Drive UFA, which is rated to ±3 seconds per month and offers a 72-hour power reserve.
  • Its 37mm case is 11.4mm thick with a 44.3mm lug-to-lug span, 100 meters of water resistance, a screw-down crown and a sapphire display back.
  • A 3-step micro-adjustment clasp returns on the steel bracelet, adding tool-free 2mm adjustments that the earlier steel Ice Forest SLGB005 lacked.
  • The SLGB015 effectively combines features introduced across the 2025 UFA launches, making it the first model in this 37mm sub-collection to bring back the Lake Suwa motif.
