Seiko

Last year, Grand Seiko introduced its groundbreaking Calibre 9RB2 – with an annual deviation of only ±20 seconds – in two variants of the Evolution 9 line: one in platinum (SLGB001) and one in titanium (SLGB003). This new ref. SLGB006 offers an 18k yellow...

Very Fine Adjusted (V.F.A.) was the 1969 prowess: ±1 minute per month vs ±20 seconds per year for the U.F.A. Best, Emmanuel

Could be a bit thinner perhaps, but the dimensions work. The dial is wonderful, and black and gold is always elegant. But at this price, there are some very compelling alternatives...

But definitely very expensive... Cheers, Emmanuel
