SEIKO PRESAGE – Riki Watanabe Blue Enamel Dial Watch SPB163J1

Seiko Presage Riki Watanabe Watch

The Seiko Presage Riki Watanabe Blue Enamel Dial Watch draws on Japanese tradition and craftsmanship. Collaborating with the Riki Watanabe team who are pioneers of modern Japanese design, this variation follows the beautifully simple, functionally modern design of the famous “Riki Steel Clock”.

Blue Enamel Dial

Firstly, made by Master Craftsman Mitsuru Yokosawa and his team, the blue enamel dial requires a specific glaze application process. The special enamel gives the dial a unique sheen and a warm, organic beauty. As the dials are manufactured by firing at high temperatures, the dials often have tiny dimples, dots and rough areas. These are unique features of a genuine enamel dial. Secondly, the contrasting white hour indexes and minute track take their legible design from the “Riki Steel Clock”. This gives the watch a minimalist look. Additionally, a subsidiary dial at 6 o’clock displays the date whilst a further dial at 9 o’clock displays the amount of power left in reserve.

Case, Movement

The 39.9mm case is in polished stainless steel. In keeping with the dial, the case is simple and modern. The brown leather strap is deliberately plain and has a folding clasp with push button release for security. Equipped with an automatic 6R27 movement, the watch has a 45 hour power reserve.

Covered by a two year manufacturer’s warranty, the Seiko Presage Riki Watanabe Blue Enamel Dial Watch is a unique timepiece that successfully combines Seiko’s watchmaking expertise and technological advances with traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
