Seiko Presage Classic Series

The famous Japanese watch brand Seiko recently launched the new Presage Classic Series 36mm “Edo Silk” watch. The new watch released this time is divided into three models: SPB521, SPB523, and SPB524. Among them, the SPB524 model is the most eye-catching because its dial is inspired by traditional Japanese silk. “Edo Silk” is the earliest silk fabric origin in Japanese history and is also one of the symbols of Japanese culture.

The diameter of the watch is 36 mm and the thickness is 12.5 mm. The case is made of fine steel and uses golden PVD coating on SPB524. This is also the most attractive part of the watch. PVD coating is the abbreviation of physical vapor deposition technology. It can effectively improve the oxidation resistance of the metal watch case and also significantly improve the hardness. Seiko uses PVD coating process on the watch case. The surface of the watch case shows a soft golden color, which is very suitable for the wearer to show his taste in various occasions.

In terms of function, this watch also does not disappoint. It is equipped with a 6R51 automatic movement and has a power reserve of 72 hours. This means that even if the wearer does not wear the watch on the weekend, he does not have to worry about the watch stopping. When wearing it on the next working day, the wearer can still maintain accurate time. The 6R51 movement is a brand new movement launched by Seiko in recent years. It has greatly improved its performance and is superior to the previous 4R series movement in terms of accuracy and power storage.

“Edo Silk” highlights the charm of Japanese culture

The dial of the watch adopts a gradient design, from light brown to light blue, with a section of white in the middle, which is very natural. Light blue gives people a fresh and elegant feeling, while light brown seems to bring the warmth of the sun. Coupled with white embellishments, this color scheme is very pleasing.

The most amazing thing is the seemingly flowing texture on the dial. This texture comes from traditional Japanese silk. “Edo Silk” is the earliest silk fabric origin in Japanese history and one of the symbols of Japanese culture. Although few people know this place now, it has always existed in the memory of the Japanese. In the minds of the Japanese, “Edo Silk” represents a top-notch craftsmanship, a value that is difficult to measure with money.

The watch uses an anti-glare sapphire crystal mirror and is 100 meters waterproof, so the wearer has almost no worries about use in daily life. At the same time, the watch is also equipped with a tapered push-pull crown, which makes it feel more comfortable. The price of 990 euros (approximately RMB 7,460) can be considered affordable, especially the stainless steel model, which is very cost-effective.
