Seiko Presage Riki Watanabe Inspired Automatic White Enamel Dial Black Leather Strap Men\'s Watch SPB113J1 RRP £1,030 Background: This Seiko Presage SPB113J1 has been inspired by modern Japanese design. One of the great pioneers of modern design is Riki Watanabe, who\'s style has been the influence behind this watch. Often called the “Charles Eames of Japan,” he became particularly well known for creating beautiful furniture from inexpensive materials in the years following World War II. His clock and watch designs produced later in his career, many of them for Seiko, became iconic. Style: This watch uses an enamel dial in a traditional and stark white. Enamel dials are very difficult to make and the high tolerance around their craft means that many have to be thrown out. Enamel provides a sheen and depth that other dials cannot. The process involves the dial being fired at high temperatures and by the melting process, there may be little dimples, tiny dots and rough surfaces on the dial. This is a unique feature of genuine enamel dial. Also, the dial is complimented by black indexes and hands and the ever present Seiko logo can be seen at 12 o\'clock with a simplistic date window at 3. Then, a classy silver stainless steel sits around the dial to provide it with the protection that the craftmanship deserves. Finally, a black leather strap can be fastened using a standard buckle. Functions: This timepiece is powered by an automatic 6R35 movement which comes with a manual wind capacity. Automatic movements are powered through kinetic energy so it is important to wear the piece as much as possible. The glass comes in a dual curved shape which allows for less optical distortion of the dial and adds to the resistance of it. Additionally, the glass is coated in anti-reflective material which prevents glare on a hot sunny day. This watch has a water resistance of 100 metres, making it suitable for swimming and snorkelling. Made In Japan: Firstly, for all you Seiko enthusiasts, this premium timepiece has been made and produced in Japan, indicated by the suffix ‘J’. Seiko watches made in Japan are notoriously hard to obtain outside of Japan due to the highest quality of craftsmanship and astonishing features that come in each individual timepiece.

The Brand: Seiko Seiko’s 135-year history has been marked by a ceaseless determination to innovate in every aspect of the watchmaker’s art.  By embracing this ethos, Seiko has been responsible for a string of industry-leading advances in the technology of time. Notably, the creation of the world’s first quartz watch in 1969. Or equally impressive the creation of the world’s first TV watch in 1982. And even more relevant today, with our abhorrent use of non-renewable energy sources, Seiko’s Kinetic. This watch had the ability to generate its own power from the movement of the wearer, it was released in 1988. The listed technological developments serve as evidence to illustrate the revolutionary impact which Seiko has had on the watchmaking world. They are also remarkably unique in that they manufacture every aspect of every watch in-house. They even grow their own quartz crystals and sapphires, hence why Seiko are renowned for being watchmaking experts.
