The creation celebrates the beauty of Tomioka silk.
A new creation joins the Presage Classic series, featuring a dial inspired by the beauty of Tomioka silk - a premium Japanese silk produced in the region surrounding the Tomioka Silk Mill in Gunma prefecture, Japan. Its intricate dial pattern reflects the graceful drape and texture inherent in finely woven Tomioka silk.
The refined luster and pristine whiteness of silk produced by a rare silkworm variety cultivated in Gunma prefecture are captured on the dial, which is finished with a pearl-like coating that shimmers gracefully in the light and imparts a sophisticated radiance.
The strap is crafted from dark brown leather inspired by the elegant brick façade of the Tomioka Silk Mill. Paired with a pink-gold-colored case, the watch exudes a classic sense of refinement.
Supporting the Tomioka silk promotion organization
Seiko Presage will support efforts to preserve and pass on the sericulture and silk industry of the Tomioka region by donating a portion of proceeds to the Tomioka silk promotion organization.
The Tomioka silk promotion organization was founded with the mission of preserving the silk culture of Tomioka. It works to promote purely Japanese-made silk produced from Tomioka-grown cocoons, sharing its unique allure with the world.
