SEIKO SPB 223 SERIES
The series comprises four new watches, each offering a dial with a different traditional Japanese color Aitetsu, or indigo iron, Shironeri, an unbleached silky white, Tokiwa, the color of evergreen trees and Susutake, a brown-toned smoked bamboo. The rich texture and intricacy of the dial’s sharply edged geometric pattern create a subtle color gradation as they play with the light at different angles. 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 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 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 case has a super-hard coating that protects the case and bracelet from scratches but also endows it with a long-lasting brilliance. 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. In every detail, this new Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series is a powerful and fresh expression of Japanese artistry. 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 and it is this aesthetic that lies at the heart of an important new series within the Presage collection. Since time immemorial, a central aspect of the Japanese sense of beauty has been simplicity. The watch is powered by the automatic GMT caliber 6R64. The rich texture of the dial’s geometric pattern creates an infinite variety of shades at different angles as the light moves across it. The dial has an Asanoha or hemp leaf pattern that has been used for a thousand years and more in Japanese fabrics and architecture. The case has a super-hard coating that protects the case and bracelet from scratches but also preserves its brilliance. The Presage Sharp Edged Series case and bracelet incorporate flat surfaces with sharp angles that allows the watch to sparkle from every angle. Just as if sunlight spreads its glow throughout the sky, the new creations inspire us to move toward a brighter future.
