SPB395J1
Seiko Watchmaking 110th Anniversary Seiko Presage Craftsmanship Series Limited Edition
Limited edition of 1,500 pieces
Four special limited-edition (SPB393J1, SPB395J1, SPB397J1, & SPB399J1) timepieces join the Seiko Presage Craftsmanship Series to commemorate the 110th anniversary of Seiko wristwatches. In keeping with the theme of the Presage Craftsmanship Series, each utilizes a dial made through a traditional Japanese technique.
The SPB395J1 utilizes the Urushi lacquer is a centuries-old decorative art that is practically synonymous with Japanese craft. Typically found on fine objects such as soup bowls or furniture, Urushi comes to life on this dial through an innovative method employed to achieve a flat surface. The coppery brown hue is inspired by the streetscape of Ishikawa Prefecture’s city of Kanazawa, an evocatively named city that means “marsh of gold.” This model is also powered by Caliber 6R24. It is presented on a dark brown leather strap.
The limited-edition watches feature a new case shape with refined angles and an elegant sense of proportion. The structure of this case is designed to emphasize the craft dials within while offering a slimmer look on the wrist. Each dial features a new design with alternating roman numerals and indexes, lending an updated look to the familiar series of dress watches. And thanks to dual-curved sapphire crystals, the dials appear even closer and more legible, bringing a truly striking appearance to the craftsmanship on display.
