Unveiling the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series: Discover the Shironeri White Dial SPB415 and Aitetsu Blue Dial SPB417

Seiko Presage is back with a bang, unveiling two new models of the Sharp Edged Series that are sure to make watch aficionados everywhere sit up and take notice. The Shironeri White Dial SPB415 and the Aitetsu Blue Dial SPB417 are the latest additions to this iconic series, and they're already causing a stir among Seiko fans.

For those not in the know, the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series made its debut last year and immediately captured the hearts of watch lovers worldwide with its bold and angular silhouette, uniquely patterned dial, and impressive legibility. Drawing on the Japanese artistry and aesthetics that have made Seiko watches so revered, this series showcases the incredible skills and advanced manufacturing techniques that make Seiko stand out in the watchmaking world.

One of the standout features of the Sharp Edged Series is the asanoha, or "hemp-leaf" pattern, that adorns the dial of every watch in the range. This distinctive motif has been used in Japanese textiles for over 1,000 years and is associated with growth and success. The dial is a true work of art, composed of multiple layers that create a rich texture through stamping, color gradation, and lap coating on the top layer. The new watches take this design to the next level with sharper hour markers and a seconds hand that has a more pronounced and angular counterweight, perfectly complementing the intricate asanoha pattern.

But it's not just the dial that's getting an upgrade. The Sharp Edged Series is also sporting a dual-curved sapphire crystal for the first time, giving the watch a sleeker and more slender appearance on the wrist. This crystal enhances legibility and showcases the dial furniture and exposed escapement to maximum effect.

Under the hood, the new Seiko Presage models are powered by the Seiko Caliber 6R5J, the latest creation from Seiko that boasts a whopping three-day power reserve when fully wound. This 21,600 vph automatic movement has indications for the hour, minute, and seconds, as well as a 24-hour sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position. But perhaps the most striking design element of the SPB415 and SPB417 is the cut-out at the 9 o'clock position, which reveals the signature asanoha pattern and the movement's escapement.

And let's not forget about the colors. Both models are inspired by traditional Japanese hues, with the Shironeri White Dial SPB415 evoking unbleached white silk and the Aitetsu Blue Dial SPB417 drawing its inspiration from indigo iron.

Overall, the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series SPB415 and SPB417 are stunning new additions to an already impressive range of watches.
