  • Seiko Presage SRPG07J1 Style60s Dark Green

    Seiko Presage SRPG07J1 Style60s Dark Green

    The Seiko Presage SRPG07J1 Style60s Dark Green is part of the Presage Style60s series which captures the vintage feel of a Seiko milestone watch combined with the traditional watchmaking skills for which the Presage collection is renowned. The Seiko Presage Style60s collection takes its inspiration from the Crown Chronograph introduced in 1964. With contemporary earth tone colours, the watches combine the vintage design of the 1964 creation with contemporary elements to create a series with a retro feel perfect for modern times. The Crown Chronograph was Seiko's and Japan's first wristwatch equipped with a stopwatch function. The watch had several new revolutionary functions and marked the beginning of Seiko's chronograph wristwatch manufacturing. The Seiko Presage SRPG07J1 Style60s Dark Green incorporates the Crown Chronograph's characteristic box-shaped glass, faceted indexes, and sharp hand designs. The inner circular area of the dial and the outer area with indexes are applied different finishing techniques, creating enhanced legibility, and a warm vintage feel with varying expressions depending on the angle of view. The gently rounded case is slightly slanted inward to ensure comfort on the wrist. The lugs are carefully polished to a mirror finish giving the watches a sharpness to their overall calm and gentle appearance, creating the perfect balance of modern and vintage. The Lumibrite on the hands and indices feature a slightly faded colour to enhance the vintage feel of the Seiko Presage SRPG07J1 Style60s Dark Green. While the original Crown Chronograph did not incorporate a date window, the Seiko Presage SRPG07J1 Style60s Dark Green comes with a calendar function. Technical Specifications Case size: 40.8mm Case material: 316L stainless steel Case back: Exhibition caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: 4R35 Power reserve: Approx 41hrs Dial: Black dial; faded Lumibrite on hands and indices for vintage feel; dark green bezel Glass: Box-shaped Hardlex Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Bracelet Strap material: Stainless steel bracelet Buckle: Stainless steel deployant buckle Warranty: 1 year

  • Seiko Presage SPB169J1 Sharp Edged Green Seiko Presage SPB169J1 Sharp Edged Green

    Seiko Presage SPB169J1 Sharp Edged Green

    The Seiko Presage combines a Japanese aesthetic sense with traditional craftsmanship and Seiko’s watchmaking skills in an original collection that offers Japanese beauty, quality and long-lasting performance. The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series is a design series that revealed a fresh and powerful expression of Japanese artistry. This series captures the simplicity and refinement of traditional Japanese aesthetics in its delicately textured dial and gives it a modern edge with its sharp and angular case construction. The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series case and bracelet incorporate many flat surfaces that have a modern sharpness that allows the watch to shine and sparkle from every angle. The precisely engineered and polished surfaces and the crisp edges of its silhouette contrast with the subtle hairline finish to create a pleasingly multi-dimensional effect. The 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 fibres that make up the plant's stem were traditionally used to make fabrics and the leaf pattern holds a special importance in Japanese culture as it symbolises 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. The Seiko Presage SPB169J1 features an emerald-hued dial that is simply captivating. Technical Specifications Case size: 39.3mm Case material: 316L stainless steel Case back: Exhibition caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: 6R35 Power reserve: Approx 70hrs Dial: Green Japanese Asanoha or hemp leaf patterned dial; Lumibrite on hands and indices; stop second function; date display Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 10ATM Strap type: Bracelet Strap material: Stainless steel bracelet Buckle: Stainless steel deployant buckle Warranty: 1 year
