Appreciating the Seiko Presage in Natural Light
Pro tip: you need to see a watch under natural light before buying it. Especially when it comes to a timepiece like the Seiko Presage watch, the light will add a different look depending on how it strikes it. During these sunny summer days, you will have a timepiece that becomes a virtual chameleon under the glow of natural light.
If you’re unfamiliar, Seiko Presage watches are a collection which focuses on dressy stylish timepieces you can use for formal occasions but can also transition to everyday wear. But why the special emphasis on seeing them in the natural light?
A Seiko Presage Watch Is A Work of Art
The Seiko Presage Watch, for all intents and purposes, is not just a showcase of watchmaking but an expression of Japanese artistry.
Drawing inspiration from the various facets of Japanese culture, you get a uniquely beautiful timepiece that can be only described as visually striking. The Seiko Presage Watch is at the top of Japanese watch craftsmanship.
Each Seiko Presage watch has an immaculately gorgeous dial that may be an example of Japanese artisanal ceramics or a unique expression of the silks you can find in Kyoto or Tokyo. Presage dial design is an art form that bears more than a second look.
Add in the use of mineral or sapphire crystal and you get a timepiece that just simply plays with the light. And that is why you need to see it under natural light. Each ray of the sun going through the crystal onto the dial will give the Seiko Presage watch a different character depending on how you look at it.
Gorgeous Seiko Presage for You
And if we convinced you to get one of the Seiko Presage watches, here are some excellent examples of the fine craftsmanship of these watches.
A Warm Glow On Your Wrist
A great example of Seiko Presage aesthetics is the SPB467J1 from the Classic Series. Featuring persimmon colored dial inspired by the Araigaki found in silks, this has a nice countenance under natural light with its dual-curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inside for legibility.
Inside the 40.2mm stainless steel case is the 6R55 automatic movement. With +25 to -15 seconds per day of accuracy and a power reserve of 72 hours, it’s a stellar movement for such a fine looking watch.
Silk That Plays With The Sun
Another Seiko Presage watch that looks amazing under the sun is the Seiko Presage Classic SPB478J1. Featuring a two tone golden dial inspired by Shiro-iro silk, this sparkles brilliantly under natural lighting, showcasing a beautiful hue under a dual-curved curved sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating. Textured dial watches have plenty of character that shines in natural light.
Using a 6R55 automatic movement, it pegs precision at +25 to -15 seconds per day with approximately 72 hours of power reserve.

A Drink Kissed By The Light

Inspired by a frozen mojito, the SRPL63J1 has a green dial reminiscent of that eponymous drink, with the texture mimicking that of crushed ice. As you go about your day, the box-shaped Hardlex crystal gives it a faceted countenance in the light.
