Seiko Presage SPB465J1 Presage ‘Sensaicha’ Watch

The watches in the new seiko Presage Classic Series have richly textured, curved dials inspired by the soft and supple feel of natural textiles whose use is interwoven into Japan’s 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. A newly developed multi-row bracelet with design inspiration from the 1970s provides a delicate and comfortable feeling on the wrist. The series’ colour palette include shiroiro, the color of unbleached natural fabric, which inspires two dials in the collection; sensaicha, a subdued greenish-brown that was fashionable during the Edo Period; araigaki, a washed and bleached persimmon color; and sumiiro, a greyish black originally used in garments worn by monks.
