Seiko Presage Classic Series Shiroiro Display Dial

Description

Since its introduction in 2016, the Presage collection has melded Japanese artistry with Seiko’s longstanding mastery of mechanical watchmaking. The new Classic Series makes its debut with five new creations, each conveying a traditional sense of Japanese beauty while bringing the mechanical watchmaking for which Seiko is renowned to the fore.

The Classic Series features richly textured, curved dials that express the soft and supple feel of natural textiles whose use is interwoven into Japanese culture. The series features two different dial configurations and sets of functions. With their curvature and intricately textured patterns, the dials capture and reflect ambient light to create a heightened sense of depth and beauty. The tops of the indexes curve to conform with the dials’ rounded shape, and the minute and seconds hands bend gently toward the markers.

The case is constructed with soft, curved surfaces, the dual-curved sapphire crystal echoing the contours of the domed dial, adding further depth to the overall design. A newly developed seven-row bracelet with design inspiration from the 1970s provides a delicate and comfortable feeling on the wrist. The bracelet’s links are ergonomically shaped, with a curved top surface and a reduction of contact points around the wrist for a comfortable fit and enhanced aesthetics. The short length of each link enhances the bracelet’s comfort.
