Grand Seiko Launches the New SLGB005 " Ice Forest - Violet Dawn" UFA Limited Edition Steel Watch







The Grand Seiko SLGB005 is the third watch inside " Ice Forest" assortment, following the 2025 " Watches & Wonders" collection.



Notably, this is the initially UFA in Ever-Brilliant Steel.



It includes purple " Violet Dawn" dial with the brand's trademark " Ice Forest" texture/pattern.



As a long time Grand Seiko fan and also collector, the debut with the Ice Forest collection on Watches & Wonders 2025 was incredibly meaningful if you ask me and all Grand Seiko lovers worldwide. My only trivial complaint is that I have a tendency need another silver-blue switch in my collection. I love the particular 37mm dial size, along with the new UFA Spring Drive movement is the icing for the cake. But the only matter missing for me is a considerably more unique (and dare My answer is, less conventional) dial colouring. Silver and blue usually are two of the most reliable call colors, and I already have many in my collection. Therefore , the fresh Grand Seiko SLGB005 " Ice Forest - Dawning Violet" seemed to satisfy my very own desire perfectly.



The smoky purple face is the star of this confined edition, undoubtedly its nearly all visually striking element. About its natural inspiration, Grand Seiko explains: " Distance of the Shinshu Haute Clocks Studio lies the Kirimine Plateau, where, in the types of winter, trees can be found covered in frost. Seeing that dawn breaks, the ice catches the first rays involving sunlight, awakening in an ethereal purple glow. "



For a more extensive understanding of this edition's structure, I absolutely encourage you to watch (or read) my hands-on review of the SLGB001 along with SLGB003 Ice Forest coppia, which debuted at Wristwatches & Wonders 2025-the ex- in platinum with a set strap, the latter with GS high-strength titanium along with a case-matching bracelet, debuting Grand Seiko's fine-adjustment system.



Notably, these two designer watches mark the first time that Grand Seiko Spring Drive wristwatches are available in a more compact 37mm case size. They also primicia a brand-new movement, typically the three-day power reserve 9RB2, which will utilizes Grand Seiko's completely new UFA (Ultra-Fine Precision) typical, meaning the 9RB2 owns an annual accuracy of a lot less than 20 seconds (six moments more accurate than the 9RA2). Finally, the SLGB003's fine-adjustment clasp allows for 6mm connected with dynamic adjustment in 2mm increments.



Nevertheless , this watch marks at the first try that the 37mm Evolution in search of case is crafted from often the brand's Ever-Brilliant Steel content... Perhaps somewhat frustratingly, nevertheless , it lacks the micro-adjustment clasp found on the titanium SLGB003-honestly, a bit puzzling, but i hope a steel micro-adjustment hold will be available soon...



I particularly appreciate this Grand Seiko used a new purple dial on this observe, firstly because purple is not a color they use often , as well as for that matter, any brand. Additionally it is worth noting that Grand Seiko doesn't often give fumé dials. Therefore , that watch won't clash for some other watches in a Grand Seiko collector's collection, or any variety encompassing a wide range of brands.



My current Grand Seiko watches include people with white (SBGA211), silvery lilac (SBGA413), gray (SBGK009), in addition to dark green (SBGH283) knobs. I also own blue calls from other brands. So , I've got to ask, " How many very similar watches with the same watch dial color can I own? "
