Grand Seiko’s "White Birch" transcends mere function; it is an exquisite narrative in motion. This watch is an emblem...of Japanese watchmaking mastery, where heritage and innovation converge in perfect harmony. Since its inception in 1960, Grand Seiko has been driven by an unwavering ambition to craft the most exquisitely precise and beautifully finished watches in the world. With reference SLGH005, that vision reaches its pinnacle.
The textured dial captures the essence of the tranquil white birch forests surrounding Grand Seiko’s studio in Shizukuishi, Japan, serving as a profound tribute to nature's quiet elegance. This is not just a design; it is a reflection of Grand Seiko’s philosophy that beauty resides in the finest details often found in the most subtle of forms. The 40mm stainless steel case, sculpted with the brand’s iconic Zaratsu polishing, features flawless mirror-like surfaces that shift seamlessly from polished to brushed finishes. The sharp, angular lines of the case lend the watch a modern sophistication while preserving the timeless elegance that is synonymous with the Grand Seiko name.
Yet, it is beneath the dial where the true mastery of Grand Seiko comes to life. Powered by the revolutionary Caliber 9SA5, a marvel of precision engineering. Operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour, it delivers extraordinary accuracy complemented by an impressive 80-hour power reserve, a rare achievement in high-frequency movements. The Dual Impulse Escapement and twin-barrel architecture ensure smooth energy transmission and exceptional durability, positioning it as one of the most advanced movements Grand Seiko has ever crafted.
The "White Birch" is not merely a watch; it is a true blend of artistry that encapsulates the finest elements of nature, craftsmanship, and innovation. It represents a philosophy of watchmaking that is distinct from the traditional Swiss approach, offering a unique narrative that transcends time.

To qualify as a Tourneau Certified Pre-Owned, a watch must meet superior standards of quality. Our 30+ master watchmakers perform a comprehensive 30-point inspection on every single timepiece that comes through our doors to verify that every watch part is authentic and functions within original factory specifications.
Fully Serviced
Every Tourneau Certified Authentic Pre-Owned watch is guaranteed to function within its original factory specifications. Each watch goes through a careful restoration process conducted by one of our master watchmakers. Our restoration process begins with a full movement service and overhaul if necessary to inspect each and every piece of the movement. Next, each piece is cleaned, lubricated and put back together. Any worn or broken parts are replaced using only original manufacture parts to maintain authenticity. The restoration process includes expert cleaning and polishing, testing of water pressure and magnetization and the replacement of straps.
2-Year Warranty
We have been selling and maintaining fine watches for over 115 years and are therefore very confident in our restoration process. To help provide extended care to you and your timepiece, a two-year warranty is included with every Tourneau Certified Pre-Owned watch to cover any internal movement defects.
