Seiko Presage Craftsmanship refers to the meticulous and artistic approach taken by Seiko in creating its Presage watches
Presage Craftsmanship collection is known for its focus on traditional watchmaking techniques and attention to detail, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of Seiko's skilled artisans and watchmakers. Various Presage models like the Laurel, Arita, Aichi, and Ibaraki series, feature Urushi enamel dials, a technique that involves applying multiple layers of vitreous enamel to achieve a rich and glossy finish. The process is intricate and time-consuming, requiring great skill to achieve the desired colours and patterns.
Urushi is a traditional Japanese lacquer made from the sap of the Urushi tree. It is applied by hand in multiple layers, and each layer needs time to dry and cure, resulting in a deep and lustrous surface.
Some Presage models feature hands inspired by traditional Japanese katana swords. The hands are carefully shaped and finished to resemble the craftsmanship found in these iconic blades. Seiko utilizes high-quality materials such as stainless steel cases, premium leather straps, and other quality components, ensuring the durability and longevity of the timepieces.
Overall Seiko Presage craftsmanship pays great attention to detail in all aspects of Presage watch production, from the design and construction to the final finishing touches. Each watch is meticulously inspected to meet Seiko's strict quality standards. The result is a series of elegant timepieces that celebrate Japanese craftsmanship and heritage, appealing to watch enthusiasts and collectors who value both style and substance.
