In the early 1910s, the Japanese watch manufacturer debuted its first mechanical watch. In continuation of its development, Seiko has launched its automatic caliber in the 1950s, along with its marvel, which is the creation of its shock absorbing system for the movement; known as the "Diashock" system.
Seiko has gone through a decade of refining and developing its mechanical watchmaking skills. These had led to the creation of Seiko's all-mechanical collection; the Presage.
In the Presage line consist of Seiko’s leading mechanical watch collection at nearly every price point imaginable, like the caliber 4R, 6R and 8R, and today we introduced to you a new series, the Seiko Presage Craftsmanship Enamel White Ref. SARX105. This is a classic dress watch entirely made in-house by Seiko, and features an impeccable fire-treated enamel dial crafted in the land of the rising sun.

The Presage Craftsmanship measures a 40.2mm in diameter with a thickness of 12.1mm and lug-to-lug distance of 48mm, making it very wearable as an everyday watch on any occasion. The dial featured here is a bright white enamel dial, giving the watch a lustrous and flawless look. Seiko brings this concept by no means a random consideration. In fact, it is based on the watch that brings us the Presage line today, which is the 1913 Seiko Laurel, while being the first wristwatch with a white enamel dial.
Further, underneath the domed sapphire crustal belies the hour markers are dark grey batons, painted directly onto its enamel dial surface repeatedly at least 10 times, so to achieve great depth and contrast. One can easily spend hours looking at the watch to admire the intricate details that Seiko has put into this excellent dress watch, withstanding the very close scrutiny, and able to pass with flying colors.
A gentlemen’s mechanical watch like this is an uncanny resemblance to its pedigree “Grand Seiko” cousins. Part of the Presage lineup of dress watches means that this is a step above the Spirit collection(SARB033) in terms of built and finishing. The elegant touch is completed with its 20mm multi-link bracelet with Seiko’s deployant clasp system.
