A revolutionary new Spring Drive movement now powers the Grand Seiko dive watch
KELVIN TAN
NEW DEPTHS
A new Seiko Spring Drive calibre emerges to power the latest Grand Seiko watch from the Sports collection. The Grand Seiko dive watch SLGA001 is given the honour to be the first to demonstrate this amazing new movement. To justify its rugged yet refined status within the Grand Seiko collection, the SLGA001 has ultra-robust helium and water resistance enough to allow for saturation diving at depths of up to 600 metres.

Encasing the new Spring Drive 9RA5 movement is a high-intensity titanium case that is 40% lighter than steel and more impervious to scratches.
