Palms-On: The Grand Seiko SLGA025G ‘Atera Valley’ – The Finest New Dial I’ve Seen In A Lengthy Time

However man, that dial. Actually. The best way that it shifts within the mild is spectacular. Grand Seiko’s photographs really feel a bit brighter and extra inexperienced than my transient expertise with the watch. Like every dial, the play between the dial and atmosphere makes an enormous distinction, and reflecting indirect angles in heat mild, the dial picks up nearly purple hues. On my wrist, it felt rather more blue and darkish. Then, in brighter mild, the inexperienced undertones come out, with the dial trying like striated feathers of a peacock’s plumage. So certain, perhaps this launch is one other one from Grand Seiko the place the dial is the star of the present. However with a dial this good, it’s very price a spherical of applause.
