Long renowned for its Japanese sensibility, the Presage collection now reveals its feminine side in a series of three automatic watches that all have enamel dials. The series is spearheaded by a limited edition with a dial inspired by the crescent moon on a winter’s evening.
All three dials are the work of Mitsuru Yokosawa and his team of veteran craftsmen. Yokosawa has been making enamel dials for Seiko for nearly a decade and several Presage watches already feature his craftsmanship. The team’s skill is evident in the beauty, depth and texture of the enamel and the warm, soft sheen of each dial. The secret of the longevity and delicacy of each dial lies in the way that Yokosawa and his team treat each dial individually and adjust the many processes involved to take into account the humidity and other factors. It is truly Japanese craftsmanship at its finest.
A CRESCENT MOON AGAINST THE WINTER SKY
One of the other two designs features a completely new cherry blossom color enamel dial on which the indexes are in brown. The second has a classic white enamel dial with elegant deep blue hands and indexes.
MADE TO LAST AND PERFECT FOR EVERYDAY USE
Every aspect of the design and manufacture reflects the care and craftsmanship for which Presage is renowned. All three watches are powered by Seiko’s trusted mechanical Caliber 6R31, which delivers a power reserve of 70 hours. The crystal glass is a dual-curved sapphire and is treated with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface so that the beautiful texture of the dial can be enjoyed from any angle.
All three watches in this new Presage series will be available at the Seiko Boutiques and select Seiko retailers worldwide in January 2022.
