Seiko Presage SPB395 Seiko Watchmaking 110th Anniversary Seiko Presage Craftsmanship Series Limited Edition

Seiko Watchmaking 110th Anniversary Seiko Presage Craftsmanship Series Limited Edition. Limited edition of 1,500 pieces. 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.” There, Urushi master Isshu Tamura and his team employ techniques to make some of the most distinctive Urushi lacquer in all of Japan. Like the white enamel dial watch, the Urushi lacquer creation is also powered by Caliber 6R24. It is presented on a dark brown leather strap.
