Seiko Presage Classic Series Men's Watch SPB499

Royal Jewelers is an authorized Seiko Presage dealer in the Boston area and offers the Seiko Presage Classic Series Men's Watch SPB499 with Seiko Presage's 3 year warranty. This timepiece combines Seiko’s watchmaking expertise with the traditional Japanese artistry of Urushi lacquering.

Its design recreates the dial of the brand’s very first pocket watch, known as the ‘Timekeeper,’ launched in 1895 at the time of the Seikosha establishment as it was then known.

Under a dual-curve sapphire crystal glass is a jet-black Urushi lacquered dial, lined with a ‘railtrack’ design around its circumference, accented by gold-coloured roman numerals. Designed to be both a men’s and ladies style, the Urushi dial is created by repeated layers of lacquering and polishing to a glossy texture, whilst the gold accents resemble traditional Kanazawa lacquerware. The slim and stylish nostalgic numerals resemble baton indices for high legibility whilst the case of this Classic Series dress piece is finished with a super-hard coating for scratch resistance.
