Limited to only 500 pieces worldwide, this watch design has been created in collaboration with the ‘Porter Classic’ brand, taking inspiration from the ‘Laurel’ – Seiko’s, and Japan’s, first ever wristwatch.
Porter Classic is an inherently Japanese menswear label which shares core values with Seiko Presage – preserving Japanese craftsmanship whilst maximising modern technology and art; artisanal philosophies resulting in timeless designs.
With a super-hard coating, the case design of this watch is inspired by the almost pocket-watch style of the 1913 Laurel. Under a box sapphire crystal glass, the black enamel dial features a subdial at 6 o’clock. The caseback features a silhouette of one of the Porter Classic founders, Katsuyuki Yoshida. It’s accompanied by a slim, glossy black Cordovan leather strap, with an additional brown cordovan leather strap option within a special black stained Paulownia wooden box.
This compact timepiece is powered by an in-house built 6R5H movement that is accurate to -15/+25 seconds per day, with a power reserve of 72 hours.
Seiko Presage: Timeless looks, precise mechanical timekeeping. Minimalistic watch designs with a distinctly Japanese aesthetic.
