Presage Sharp Edged Series. Offering the finest in Japanese mechanical watchmaking, the Presage Collection blends precision technology with superior craftsmanship and design. Celebrating the fresh, clean minimalism of contemporary Japanese art, the coolly angular Sharp Edged Series blends modern culture with classic themes. In bracing contrast to the updated angles of the case and bracelet, this intriguing watch reaches back to the past with a deep blue gradated gloss-finish multi-layer dial patterned with an Asanoha hemp-leaf motif, a symbol of growth and prosperity dating to the Heian Period (794-1185 AD). The hemp-leaf pattern is continued over the open aperture, with its view of the 24-jewel automatic movement, which beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, with an extraordinary power reserve of approximately 72 hours and manual winding capability. With a 24-hour subdial, the dial also features applied markers and crisply sculpted LumiBrite hands, and is topped by a dual-curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface. The mirror finished lugs add brilliance, while enhancing the sophisticated slim profile. Crafted of stainless steel with durable super-hard coating, this exceptional timepiece includes a screwdown see-through caseback and tri-fold push-button release clasp. 10 bar, 100M Water Resistant

The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series evolves with a new three-day automatic movement and a new design.
CONCEPT
Introduced in 2020, the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series quickly gained a reputation for its angular silhouette, distinctively patterned dial, and hands and indexes that reflect light while enhancing legibility. Revealing a powerful expression of Japanese artistry and aesthetics combined with state-of-the-art mechanical watchmaking, the series demonstrated the expansive skills and advanced manufacturing techniques of Seiko watchmaking. Today, a new three-day automatic movement and a new design join the Sharp Edged Series.
New design
Like each Sharp Edged Series watch, the dials of the two new creations bear the signature asanoha, or “hemp-leaf” pattern. This distinctive motif has appeared on Japanese textiles since the Heian period over 1,000 years ago and is traditionally associated with a desire for growth and success. Composed of multiple layers, each three-dimensional dial comes to life through stamping, color gradation, and lap coating on the top layer, creating a rich texture.
The strong, angular case with an additional facet in mirror finish between the top and side surfaces, add an extra sparkle to the design.
The new watches adopt an enhanced design for the seconds hand and hour markers. The markers are sharper and point toward the center of the dial, while the seconds hand which is gently curved down towards the markers, has a more pronounced and angular counterweight with a spiked tail. Thanks to their new designs, these essential elements of the interface harmonize perfectly with the asanoha patterned dial.
A dual-curved sapphire crystal makes its first appearance in the Sharp Edged Series, giving the new watches a slender appearance on the wrist. Thanks to the new crystal, the dials appear closer and more vivid, enhancing legibility and showcasing the prominent dial furniture, and exposed escapement. But the upgrades go beyond the surface.

In recognition of the upgraded 72-hour power reserve, each watch’s dial reads “Automatic 3 Days.” The full expanse of Caliber 6R5J, including its gold-colored oscillating weight, is also visible through an exhibition case back.
Dial Color
The dial of each model is imbued with a traditional Japanese color. The light dial is called shironeri and is reminiscent of unbleached white silk, and the dark dial is aitetsu, or indigo iron.
