Seiko Presage Style 60s Automatic Black Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Men’s Watch SSA449J1

The Case:

The design of the Seiko Presage Style 60s SSA449J1 is inspired by Seiko’s 1964 crown chronograph, these modern iterations retain the same shape and feel as the original 1964 models through their fixed 60-minute bezel, box-shaped Hardlex crystal and the same 40.8mm diameter. The fixed black bezel is complemented by elegant gilt markers that form a 60-minute scale. The SSA449J1 measures 14mm in height, which allows it to sit appropriately under a shirt cuff or other formal-style attire. On the side of the case there is an easy-to-grip silver crown that has been embossed with the Seiko logo.

The Dial:

The design of the black dial pays homage to the uncomplicated design of the 1964 Crown Chronograph, this is perhaps where it shares the greatest similarities with its predecessor. The dial features applied indexes and the elegant silver dauphine handset that is coated in a luminescent material. The seconds hand is presented in a rich cream tone, which imparts a genuine vintage feeling onto the dial. The Seiko logo is also presented beneath the 12 o’clock marker in the brand’s vintage font. A sub-dial present at 6 o’clock exhibits a date-display and is presented using an eye-catching sunray cream tone.

The Bracelet:

The bracelet is made from stainless steel and it comes fashioned in a classic three-link oyster style. The simplistic design of the oyster bracelet was first introduced by Rolex in 1948 and it has since been closely associated with sports watches, due to their utilitarian character that ensures that the bracelet remains secured to the wrist during sporting activities. The three fold clasp, with secure lock, also helps to ensure that the watch remains securely fastened to the wearer’s wrist.
