This creation is a deep black urushi lacquer dial created by lacquer master Isshu Tamura and his team, who practice a centuries-old art – one older than watchmaking itself – to craft urushi lacquer that gains in strength as the years pass.
This creation features a recently updated case design with refined angles and an elegant sense of proportion conceived to highlight the craft in each dial. Powered by one of Seiko’s latest in-house movements, Caliber 6R55, each watch has a power reserve extending to a full 72 hours, allowing wearers to remove their watch on Friday afternoon and return to it Monday morning without having to reset the time. This marks the first time that this three-day movement has appeared in the Presage Craftsmanship Series.
With the dual-curved sapphire crystal, the watch has a slimmer appearance on the wrist than many previous creations in the series. This creation comes on a handsome five-link stainless steel bracelet with super-hard coating.
