One of the great pioneers of modern design is Riki Watanabe, who’s style has been the influence behind this watch. Often called the “Charles Eames of Japan,” he became particularly well known for creating beautiful furniture from inexpensive materials in the years following World War II. His clock and watch designs produced later in his career, many of them for Seiko, became iconic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe Case:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe silver stainless steel case radiates class through its minimalistic, polished design. It has a profound push\/pull crown besides the 3 o'clock marker. The design of the case pays homage to the subtle, understated and charming design codes that have come too define traditional dress watches. For instance, the fixed bezel, alway the way through to the addition of straight lugs, underscore the essential and minimalist spirit of Riki Watanabe to perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe Dial:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis watch uses an enamel dial in a traditional stark white colour. Enamel dials are very difficult to make and the high tolerance around their craft means that it is a very arduous process. They provide a sheen and depth that other dials just cannot, giving this timepiece is peerless aesthetic allure. The process involves the dial being fired at high temperatures, and baking multiple layers of glass powder atop silver or copper. It has a classic appeal, as enamel was once the choice of decoration of watches during the renaissance. Moreover, the sophisticated motif of the watch is developed through the addition of slender silver indexes and hands. Similarly, the ever present Seiko logo is present at 12 o’clock with a simplistic date window at 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe Strap:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother quintessential dress watch feature present is the Cordovan horsehide leather straps with external stitching, this does augment a more relaxed look, which therefore provides this watch with a multifaceted appeal. Furthermore, it comes in a sophisticated brown tone, which works perfectly with the brown dial. It fastens easily through the use of a triple folding clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis timepiece is powered by an automatic 6R35 movement which comes with a manual wind capacity. Consequently, it offers a 70h power reserve and accuracy rated at +25 to -15 seconds per day. The movement is visible through an open sapphire crystal case back. Lastly, this watch has a water resistance of 100 metres, making it suitable for swimming and snorkelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6R35 Caliber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic Movement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e+25 to -15 Seconds Per Day\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel Case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-Curved Sapphire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnti-Reflective Coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHorse Skin Band\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree Fold Clasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePush Button Deployment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100m Water Resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThickness: 12.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter: 39.9mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pr-Spec_Item\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pr-Spec_Text\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eLength: 47.2mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pr-Spec_Item\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnamel Dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScrew Case Back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pr-Spec_Item\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pr-Spec_Text\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSee Through Case Back\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 Jewels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDate Display\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pr-Spec_Item\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pr-Spec_Text\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eStop Second Hand Function\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Family: Presage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Presage collection draws its inspiration from Seiko’s heritage in mechanical watchmaking, which stretches all the way back to 1913 and the celebrated Laurel which was Seiko’s, and Japan’s, first ever wrist watch. This heritage is brought to life through watches whose design echoes that of the 1913 Laurel and whose dials are made in the finest traditions of Japanese artistry. In brief, Presage is a collection of broad appeal. It comprises 60 models and uses the full range of Seiko’s mechanical calibers, from the accessible 4R, through 6R to the exclusive 8R. Highlights include the 6R27 multi-hand power reserve model and a series using an entirely new version of the 4R57 caliber. This new caliber is Seiko’s first ever with a center power reserve indicator, and is available in a series of five designs, including a limited edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Brand: Seiko\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCeaseless determination to innovate in every aspect of the watchmaker’s art is what defines Seiko’s 135-year history. By embracing this ethos, Seiko has been responsible for a string of industry-leading advances in the technology of time. Notably, the creation of the world’s first quartz watch in 1969. Or equally impressive the creation of the world’s first TV watch in 1982. And even more relevant today, with our abhorrent use of non-renewable energy sources, Seiko’s Kinetic. This watch had the ability to generate its own power from the movement of the wearer. The listed technological developments serve as evidence to illustrate the revolutionary impact which Seiko has had on the watchmaking world. They are also markably unique in that they manufacture every aspect of every watch in-house. They even grow their own quartz crystals and sapphires, hence why Seiko are renowned for being watchmaking experts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have any questions please \u003ca title=\"https:\/\/www.watchnation.com\/contact-us\/ Ctrl+Click or tap to follow the link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.watchnation.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eclick here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClick here to join our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WatchNationUK\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003efacebook\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/watchnationshop\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51504125411669,"sku":"SPB115J1","price":1030.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/3720\/2517\/files\/image199283237.jpg?v=1758527650","url":"https:\/\/www.watchnation.com\/products\/seiko-presage-spb115j1","provider":"WatchNation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
