Grand Seiko Evolution 9 'Night Birch' Hi-Beat SLGH017
The textured dial is inspired by the moonlight darkness of the highland birch forests near to the Grand Seiko studios in Japan.
ÔThe Nature of TimeÕ theme features prominently in Grand Seiko watch designs Ð a Japanese spirituality where each moment is a unique expression unveiled through light and shadow. The watchmakersÕ pride in their surroundings is represented from engineering watch movements which emulate the smooth motion of time passing, to creating dials reflecting the beauty of Japanese nature.
This timepiece is within the Evolution 9 Collection; watches created with a contemporary design format based on the recognisable 1967 44GS Grand Seiko Style. This new grammar of design takes the brandÕs ideals of beauty, legibility and wearability to new levels with nine design elements, based around the three design principles.
Firstly an Òevolution in aestheticsÓ Ð the design expresses infinite gradations between light and shadow achieved with polished surfaces.
Secondly an Òevolution in legibilityÓ Ð the powerful hands and grooved, prominent markers ensure excellent legibility.
And thirdly an Òevolution in comfortÓ Ð the improved crown shape ensures an easier grip.
This high-beat watch is powered by the revolutionary Calibre 9SA5,with a power reserve of 80 hours due to its enhanced energy efficiency. First presented in 2020, Calibre 9SA5 incorporates three significant developments: the entirely new Dual Impulse Escapement, the Grand Seiko free-sprung balance and the horizontal gear train. These three elements together set a new standard in high-beat horology.
Every Grand Seiko features signature high standards of precision, durability and legibility, handcrafted in Japan by Takumi artisans. Grand Seiko: beautifully, precise Japanese watchmaking, from the pinnacle of Seiko Watch CorporationÕs in-house Ômanufacture.Õ

At Cloud IX Luxury, we understand that the security and efficiency of shipping are just as important as the quality of the luxury assets themselves. We have established a rigorous logistical framework to ensure that every timepiece and high-end accessory delivered to our clients nationwide arrives safely, securely, and promptly.
Shipping Timelines & Availability
- In-Stock Inventory: All items available for immediate purchase on our platform are ready to ship the same day.

Shipments are initiated Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.
- Price on Request / Special Orders: Timepieces or accessories designated as "Price on Request" or "Special Order" will be securely shipped within 2 to 5 business days from the formal order confirmation date. Because these elite pieces are specifically procured through our global supplier network to fulfill your exact request, this slight delay allows us to execute the transit with the highest standards.
The Pre-Shipment Vetting Process
Before any item leaves our Virginia facility, it undergoes a strict, multi-stage pre-shipment quality control process to guarantee perfection:

All accompanying materials, including the factory box, warranty papers, booklets, and extra links, are carefully matched and packed to mirror the exact description provided.
- Master Technical Testing: The timepiece is passed to our expert team of watchmakers, where it undergoes a final series of evaluations using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Our watchmaking team runs these final tests to verify pristine cosmetic condition, precise timing accuracy, and optimal water-resistance metrics (where applicable) right before transit.
The Shipment & Delivery Process
Once cleared by our technical team, your order moves into our high-security transit protocol:
- Secure Packaging & Elite Carriers: Your order is heavily padded, securely double-boxed, and shipped exclusively through our trusted logistics partners, FedEx or UPS. To mitigate fraud and protect your high-value investment, all shipments are routed directly to your verified billing address.
