Seiko Presage ‘Sharp Edged’, Midnight Blue Dial

Description

This ‘Midnight’ blue dial watch is from the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged collection, inspired by ancient and modern Japanese design. It features a new case design with a mirror finishing on both lug sides along with a striking new double-layered dial.

Created in 2020, the Presage Sharp Edged Series combines flat surfaces with sharp angles that, together, allow the watch to sparkle wherever the light strikes. Like others in this series, this new creation has an Asanoha or hemp leaf pattern that has been used for a thousand years and more in Japanese fabrics. This automatic Presage timepiece offers a very different, modern perspective on Japanese aesthetics.

With its sharp and angular silhouette, the case is light and comfortable to wear. The slim, carefully polished case surfaces and bracelet assert a modern presence.
The watches are all powered by the 24 jewel Caliber 6R38 which delivers a power reserve of 70 hours. The glass material is sapphire crystal, and the exhibition case back, also in sapphire, reveals the delicate finishing of the movement.
