- There are just 2,000 pieces available globally of this limited edition watch.
- The “Kanazawa” (Green) dial was inspired by the Kenrokuen Gardens, a vast and beautiful green space located in the heart of Kanazawa, Japan.
- The dial was created through a form of traditional Japanese craftsmanship; Urushi lacquering, where layer upon layer of lacquer is applied by hand to give the dial its depth. Urushi is a natural lacquer obtained from the sap of the Japanese lacquer tree. The lacquer is painted onto the dials by master craftsmen and polished by hand several times, in order to obtain this deep, silky colour.
- Urushi lacquer is the traditional and best way to create deep colours, and it is time-consuming and challenging work, but it. However, it has the advantage of getting harder and stronger as the years go by and this advantage will keep the green colour’s rich glossy for years.
- The craftsmanship was masterminded by Tamura in Kanazawa, in the centre of Honshu on Japan’s main island. He used the centuries-old art of Urushi that he learned from his father.
- The dial which was painted and polished by hand several times has a green colour that pays tribute to “Kanazawa in summer and the gold accents echo the warm light of the sunshine that penetrates the lush, moss-covered forests of the region.”
- The Presage Craftsmanship Series celebrates the Japanese ‘Takumi’ – timepieces which are individually handcrafted by master artisans combining Seiko’s latest watchmaking techniques with centuries of traditional artistry.
