The Grand Seiko SLGB005 is a spring drive dress watch, with a 37mm stainless steel case, 11.4mm thick, powered by the 9RB2 movement and a 72-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 100m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $11,100.
The Grand Seiko SLGB005 is widely praised for its stunning "Ice Forest" smoked purple dial, inspired by frost-covered trees, and its compact 37mm Ever-Brilliant Steel case. It is powered by the 9RB2 Spring Drive caliber, noted for its exceptional accuracy of ±3 seconds per month or ±20 seconds per year, and offers a 72-hour power reserve. Reviewers consistently highlight the dial's mesmerizing beauty and the case's sculpted design as significant strengths. However, multiple sources express disappointment that the Grand Seiko SLGB005 omits the micro-adjustment clasp found on other models, especially considering its $11,100 price point, though one reviewer found this did not detract from wearability. Overall, reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SLGB005 highly for its visually arresting dial and precise Spring Drive movement, despite the clasp oversight.
