SEIKO PRESAGE – Sharp Edged Series Brown Dial Strap Watch SPB170J1

Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series

The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series introduces an angular style to the Presage collection. Since time immemorial, simplicity has been at the heart of the Japanese sense of beauty. To create objects or images of refinement and grace with few elements and no extraneous decoration has long been an aim of many Japanese craftsmen and artists. It is this aesthetic that lies at the heart of this important new series within the Presage collection.

Case, Brown Dial, Strap

Firstly, with a 39.3mm diameter, the rose gold tone stainless steel case incorporates many flat surfaces that have a modern sharpness. These allow the watch to shine and sparkle from every angle. Secondly, the case has a super-hard coating that protects it from scratches and endows it with a long-lasting brilliance.

The brown dial incorporates a Japanese Asanoha or hemp leaf pattern, familiar in Japanese culture for its use in design since the Heian period over a thousand years ago. The Asanoha leaf was traditionally used as material for fabrics and the pattern holds a special importance in Japanese culture as it symbolizes rapid, strong growth and was thought to bring good health, especially to the young. The rich texture and intricacy of the dial’s sharply edged geometric pattern create a subtle colour gradation as they play with the light at different angles. Additionally, the traditional Japanese colour of Susutake, a brown-toned smoked bamboo, is represented by the brown dial. Furthermore, a date indicator at 3 o’clock is a useful feature. Moreover, the chiselled hour indexes reflect both the silhouette of the case. Finally, a brown calf leather strap complements the dial and a folding clasp secures it to the wrist.
