Seiko Presage Craftsmanship 145th Anniversary Edition Watch SPB538

Among all Seiko's 145th anniversary models, the Presage SPB538 arguably best embodies the brand's early spirit of craftsmanship. Inspired by Seiko's 1895 "Timekeeper" pocket watch and Japan's first wristwatch, the "Laureate," in 1913, this watch is a tribute to the brand's origins. It retains the rustic charm of the early enamel-dial Presage Craftsmanship models, while introducing a subtle evolution: for the first time in this series, the seconds hand is now a central mechanism instead of the previous small seconds subdial.

The white enamel dial, meticulously crafted by master craftsman Mitsuru Yokosawa and his team, showcases the soft hues and deep texture unique to fired enamel, providing a perfect backdrop for the black Roman numeral hour markers and gold leaf-shaped hands. The gold-plated Seiko logo is a subtle celebratory element, echoing the anniversary theme.

Its 35mm stainless steel case, with its gold-coated finish, moving lugs, and onion-shaped crown, easily evokes the wristwatches converted from pocket watches in the early 20th century. Despite its compact diameter, the 12.3mm case thickness provides a solid feel. The slim, textured bezel and box-type sapphire crystal maintain clarity and durability while adding a touch of historical authenticity. Inside, the 6R51 automatic movement offers modern reliability, boasting a 72-hour power reserve and a frequency of 21,600 vph. Seiko has paired this SPB538 with a dark brown, continuous leather strap sourced from an LWG (Leather Works Organization) certified tannery. Repwatcheaprice - Luxury replica Omega Seamaster price, Cheap Watches For Men And Women.
