Do you know? This Tokyo Lion Tentagraph watch by Crown Blue Lion not only breaks the record in terms of accuracy, but also boldly uses the inspiration of lion claws in the design, which can be called a work of art in the watchmaking industry! Want to know how this watch combines traditional craftsmanship with modern sports style? Come and learn more with me!

The lion symbolizes deep understanding

Before introducing the Tokyo Lion Tentagraph watch, let’s first understand the brand. Founded in 1960, Grand Seiko is a famous high-end watchmaking brand in Japan. It is unique among the world’s watch brands and is famous for its extremely high watchmaking craftsmanship. The advent of the Tokyo Lion Tentagraph chronograph is a major breakthrough for Crown Blue Lion in the pursuit of higher precision.

It is reported that this SLGC009 model Tokyo Lion Tentagraph watch is equipped with the newly developed 9SC5 movement of Crown Blue Lion. This movement has a vibration frequency of up to 36,000 times per hour and a power reserve of 72 hours. During the 20 days of our actual testing, the daily error was only +5 to 3 seconds, which is an excellent performance.

The reason why this watch is named “Tokyo Lion” is because its design is inspired by the lion’s paws. In our opinion, the shape of a lion’s claw is sharp and hard, and the case of this watch perfectly illustrates this point. The case of the Tokyo Lion Tentagraph watch has nearly 40 facets, and you can see the dazzling light from both the front and the side. Such a complex design reflects the level of watchmaking craftsmanship of the Crown Blue Lion to a large extent.

Crown Blue Lion Caliber 9RB2 movement

In addition to the Tokyo Lion Tentagraph chronograph, Crown Blue Lion also launched a new Caliber 9RB2 movement at the 2023 Geneva Watch Fair, and used it as the power core to launch two Spring Drive U.F.A. series watches. The models of these two watches are SLGB003 and SLGB001 respectively. Their common features are extremely high accuracy and elegant appearance.

This 9RB2 movement is also very good. After one year of research and development, it has solved some defects in the previous movement structure and greatly improved the accuracy. It is reported that the annual error of this movement has reached ±20 seconds. This data is almost unprecedented in the mechanical watch industry. With such a data, Crown Blue Lion can be on an equal footing with some of Switzerland’s top watch brands.

The Tokyo Lion Tentagraph chronograph is Crown Blue Lion’s business card to show its top watchmaking craftsmanship to the outside world. The large diameter of 43 mm, the thickness of 15.6 mm, and the use of high-strength titanium material give this watch an excellent hardware foundation.

The most noteworthy thing is that the Tokyo Lion Tentagraph is also equipped with an integrated rubber strap. This strap not only has extremely high tensile strength, but also has been precisely calculated. The overall design is very ergonomic and very comfortable to wear. Matched with the strap is an integrated three-fold clasp made of high-strength titanium metal, which greatly improves both the appearance and the wearing experience.

Sports watches enrich product line

In the past, Crown Blue Lion has always given people the impression of being a formal watch. Because of its exquisite watchmaking craftsmanship and low-key luxurious appearance, it is very suitable for business people to wear. The emergence of this Tokyo Lion Tentagraph marks the official entry of Crown Blue Lion into the field of sports watches. The brand image that used to be dominated by formal watches is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

This chronograph not only has extremely high accuracy, but also has an eye-catching appearance. It is very suitable for people who love sports and outdoor activities. With the advent of the new movement Caliber 9RB2, I believe that Crown Blue Lion will launch more excellent works, we will wait and see.

Conclusion

After reading the introduction of this Tokyo Lion Tentagraph, I have to say that the Crowned Blue Lion is really getting better and better! It is not only a breakthrough in watchmaking technology, but also a bold change in the brand image, giving us more expectations.
