Introduced in 2023 , the Tentagraph was Grand Seiko 's first ever mechanical chronograph . The Tentagraph's name - “ TEN - T - A - GRAPH ” - describes the characteristics of the Caliber 9SC5 that powers this watch: TEN beats per second (36,000 vibrations ...

beasts but interestingly the color coding of SLGC002 appealed to me a lot. I’m not one to like black and gold watches but here I must admit something clicks, the color palette seems excellent. Other than that I find the Tokyo Lion very interesting and app... 

Best, Emmanuel

But aesthetically, and given the case sizes, they are simply not for me.

But I still find interesting what GS is doing. The Tokyo Lion in particular is quite appealing in its own beasty way. Best, Emmanuel

Interesting nonetheless. Best, Emmanuel

. . . even with the dreaded date window at 4:30 and jumbo-sizing. The casework and case design is uber cool in my eyes. I think your comparison to the Offshore is on target, especially with the Tokyo Lion watch. Thanks for the review. M4

without a date so hopefully the Tentagraph will be made without a date someday. That said, it doesn’t really bother me here: the rest of the Tokyo Lion design easily compensates for this little flaw. Not a watch I could wear and not my style, but I still ... 

I find the colors on the SLGC002 are appealing, especially with that distressed croc strap. I purchased the SLGC009, but decided that I could not live with the jump of the small-seconds hand upon actuation/stoppage of the chrono and ended up returning it.... 

which is so unexpected coming from a caliber featuring a chronograph module with a vertical clutch. This is really unfortunate because the watch's design is really special... Best, Emmanuel

Edgy at least

Best, Emmanuel

even if a little something was missing for me. Maybe just the size which I would prefer a little further restrained. Best, Emmanuel

Interesting piece, and as others have noted it has a very Offshore vibe. Big watch, too (for me at least).

but it seems big indeed. The angular design and the color scheme is appealing. Best, Emmanuel

Fantastic dials, particularly the blue one when the light hits it. All the best, Jon

And the blue seems eye-catching. Best, Emmanuel

for a comprehensive summary of what is the Tentagraph line from GS. I personally like the Tokyo Lion variant a lot; most interesting multi-faceted case design with full Zaratsu-polish treatment. Haven’t had a chance to see one in the flesh even though it ... 

And I really hope they've fixed these chronograph issues now... Best, Emmanuel

And I would have wished for them to do a fully integrated, rather than a modular chrono at this level. The chrono module is recycled from models lower down the line and while certainly functional, I probably would have expected more from GS 🤷🏻‍♂️ The Toky... 

Still interesting to see the whole line together.
