Fancy: The Best Dials You Can Find on the Seiko Presage

The Seiko Presage collection is home to some of the beautiful dials you will ever see. 

A dial can be a work of art. It is the first thing you will notice upon examination of a watch, often catching your attention before anything else. Dials provide the canvas upon which the expression of artistry of a watchmaker is fully shown to the world and the Seiko Presage exemplifies this ethos. 

That’s why we need to take a close look at some of the best luxury watch dials in the Philippines, especially coming from the Seiko Presage line. 

The Artistry of Japanese Craftmanship

Japan is home to a people who value artistry above all else. The swift strike of a sword, the sweep of a calligraphy brush, and of course, the art of engineering some of the finest timepieces in the world. Ever since its launch in the 1960s, the Seiko Presage has been a stunning example of Japanese artistry. 

Seiko has now tapped the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmen to help create beautiful watches. With movements designed to provide an artful and aesthetic sweep, it is now matched with dials which are crafted with materials that come from esteemed masters of their art form. 

Seiko And The Art Of Time

Now let’s take a look at the very best of available Seiko Presage in the Philippines. These watches are more than beautiful and eye-catching timepieces, but rather testaments to the heritage and artistry of the people of Japan.

The Seiko Presage Urushi SPB405J1 sports a dial made with Urushi lacquer, a technique that has come from ancient Japan to harden samurai armor for battle. This strong and resilient lacquer has been refined by master artisan

Isshu Tamura, through years of meticulous dedication to his craft. He applies multiple undercoats, an intermediate coat, a top coat and a finishing coat, to produce a deep black finish that you can get lost in. It feels like it’s absorbing all the light in the room and you can’t help but take notice. Gracing the deep dark dial are silver indices and a gorgeous golden seconds hand with a crescent as a counterbalance. All this under a beautiful dual-curved sapphire that plays with the light, you can be sure people will see how immensely attractive this watch is. 

The Superior Craftsmanship of the Seiko Presage Enamel SPB403J1

• Case: 40.2mm Stainless Steel

Enamel has been made in Japan for at least since the 7th to produce intricate and beautiful decoration. Here in the Seiko Presage Enamel SPB403J1, we find a dial made with the finest Japanese enamel, creating a classic finish that is sure to create a subtle yet powerful impression. Master craftsman Mitsuru Yokosawa and his team have refined a process to create a beautiful watchface that emphasizes the beauty and brilliance of Japanese enamel work. The watch also uses electric blue hands that move with grace across the placid white surface of the enamel dial, creating an almost hypnotic effect. Again with the use of ultra strong dual-curved sapphire, we get to see the watch at various angles and makes for an impetus for conversation amongst your peers. 

A Unique Intersection of Grace and Brilliance in The Seiko Presage Arita Porcelain SPB455J1

• Movement: Caliber 6R5H Automatic with Manual Winding

Porcelain has a reputation for being delicate and refined but with master craftsman Hiroyuki Hashiguchi from Arita, a small town on Kyushu famous for its porcelain, it has been made possible to wear it on your wrist. Four times harder than ordinary porcelain, this Arita Porcelain has been fired multiple times multiple firings and hand glazed to create a luxurious white dial that looks like the very essence of artisanal work. The minimalist indices give you unobstructed viewing pleasure of the dial. 

The Seiko Presage Arita Porcelain SPB455J1 utilizes the Caliber 6R5H, giving you an elegant motion across the dial which is highlighted by dual-curved sapphire crystal.
