40.5mm stainless steel case, automatic movement, black Urushi Lacquer dial with yellow gold accents, dark brown leather strap. Limited edition of 1200 pieces.

Presage combines a Japanese aesthetic sense with traditional craftsmanship and Seiko’s watchmaking skills in an original collection that offers Japanese beauty, quality and long-lasting performance.

This timepiece combines Seiko’s watchmaking expertise with the traditional Japanese artistry of Urushi lacquering. Inspired by antique Japanese textiles and the use of Urushi lacquer that can be traced back for thousands of years to the Jomon period.

Its design recreates the dial of the brand’s very first pocket watch, known as the ‘Timekeeper,’ launched in 1895 at the time of the Seikosha establishment as it was then known. Under a dual-curve sapphire crystal glass is a jet-black Urushi lacquered dial, lined with a ‘railtrack’ design around its circumference, accented by gold-coloured roman numerals. Designed to be both a men’s and ladies style, the Urushi dial is created by repeated layers of lacquering and polishing to a glossy texture, whilst the gold accents resemble traditional Kanazawa lacquerware. The slim and stylish nostalgic numerals resemble baton indices for high legibility whilst the case of this Classic Series dress piece is finished with a super-hard coating for scratch resistance. The accompanying black leather strap is sustainably sourced and LWG-certified by the Leather Working Group international organisation for sustainable leather production.Powered by an in-house 6R5H automatic calibre, the timepiece has a 24-hour feature at 6 o’clock. Accurate to -15/+25 seconds per day, it has a power reserve of three days. This timepiece is water resistant to 100m.
