Seiko Presage Classic Series 'Sumi-Iro' Open Heart Automatic 40.2mm Watch SPB471

Introducing the Presage Classic Series - watches designed with inherent Japanese elegance. Named 'Sumi-iro' meaning ‘ink black’ for the colour of its dial, the dial texture is inspired by soft Japanese silk – a material which has long featured in Japan’s history since ancient times in home décor and clothing.

Under sapphire glass, the curved dial with curved hands and indices evoke vintage style and are specifically designed to maximise light reflections.

The recessed ‘open-heart’ feature at 9 o'clock, shows the inner beauty of the 6R5J movement within which powers the watch. It also features a recessed 24-hour subdial at 6 o'clock.

The seven-piece multi-row bracelet has been developed and inspired by 1970s retro-style metal watch bracelets. Not only are these designed for style and to reflect the light, each piece is short at only 6mm long, allowing for maximum movement and comfort.

This Classic Series timepiece is powered by an in-house 6R5J calibre, accurate to -15/+25 seconds per day, with a three-day 72-hour power reserve.
