Seiko Debuts Presage Sharp Edged Series 2020

While Seiko's continuous move upmarket in recent years has been troublesome among aficionados of the brand, there's no uncertainty that the brand's present arrangement is one of the most grounded in its value run. With a solid arrangement of new deliveries all through 2020 from its entrance level 5 Sports arrangement, a huge number of well known new Prospex jumper plans, and energizing new advancements for its better quality Spring Drive models, Seiko has been reliably conveying this year on almost every front. One of the calmer corners of Seiko's arrangement so far in 2020, notwithstanding, has been the dressy Presage arrangement. While there have been a couple of new Presage increases this year to direct recognition, generally speaking, the line has not considered the to be level of the exhibition as a portion of its sportier cousins. With its most recent delivery, Seiko has redressed this in sensational style with another arrangement that exhibits the brand's quality on the off chance that structure, dial completing, and development work, all in an interestingly Japanese design. The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series, including the Seiko Presage SPB167, Seiko Presage SPB165, Seiko Presage SPB169, and Seiko Presage SPB170, is one of the Presage line's most finished assortments to date, and ideally a guide for the eventual fate of the brand's three-hand dress structures.

While case plan and completing is a memorable quality for the Seiko brand going back to the mid-'60s, the case configuration work for the Presage arrangement has commonly been a frail point, with most models including straightforward round cases with all-over cleaned wrapping up. The treated steel instance of the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series, then again, feels considerably more great Seiko in its execution, with visual trademarks from a few memorable models. The 39.3mm case distance across is directly following current patterns, while the general case shape dumps the standard Presage recipe of section case sides and straight hauls for something that feels more under the brand's "Language of Design" period of the '60s and '70s. The wedge-molded precise hauls stream legitimately into the case sides, making a solitary solid line running along the case sides from carrying tip to drag tip, with just an unguarded marked pillbox crown to separate the profile. As the name recommends, the change between level planes is a dangerously sharp 90-degree edge. There's an extraordinary internal fold toward the case back on the underside, helping the structure to adjust to the wrist and causing the 11.1mm generally speaking thickness to feel slimmer. The drag tops grandstand an expansive, energetic brushing with spotless and sensational progress to the mirror clean of the case sides. The thin slanting bezel is likewise profoundly cleaned, giving this shape a hint of light play from practically any point. The general structure shows bits of a few great Seiko plans, most eminently through the bezel and drag shapes, which feel much the same as the '60s Seiko Lord Marvel 5740. For the SPB170 model, this structure increases some additional mystique by a method of rose gold-tone plating. The case back highlights a sapphire showcase window, while likewise giving a brandishing 100 meters of water obstruction.

The Presage line has consistently fought at a surprisingly high level with regards to dial completing, and the Sharp Edged Series is no special case. Each of the four models of the Sharp Edged Series utilizes a three-dimensional variant of the customary Asanoha, or hemp leaf design, a staple in Japanese craftsmanship and plan for over a thousand years. This hexagonal structure prompts a bunch of dynamic light-getting surfaces, with an execution that feels like a Japanese interpretation of the great tapisserie design. The handset proceeds the "sharp" pattern of the general structure, with a forcefully pointed lumed take on the great dauphine style, while the applied records are drastically faceted and gotten done with a blend of matte and cleaned surfaces. Indeed, even the encompass for the date window includes a blend of wraps up, this plan to feel more strongly than the majority of its rivals in its value go. With a basic by and large idea for the dial plan, Seiko can significantly change the general feel of the watch by playing with dial shading. The metallic cobalt blue of the SPB167 feels practically unforgiving in its spotless virus tones, while the quietly radiant white dial of the SPB165 with its blued seconds hand could make for a captivating option for those looking for the vibe of the great Grand Seiko "Snowflake" on a careful spending plan. The profound verdant green dial of the SPB169 brings to mind gem tones as much as it plants life, because of the faceted example and gold seconds hand. Finally, the warm rose gold tones of the SPB170 are expanded by a smooth bourbon earthy colored.

Seiko controls every one of the four models of the Presage Sharp Edged Series with the in-house 6R35 programmed development. Humbly enriched with a striped rotor and angled edges along with the plates and extensions, the 6R35 is a generally new expansion to Seiko's steady of in-house developments and involves the higher class of the brand's mainline contributions. The exhibition mirrors this, with an amazing 70-hour power save at a 21,600 BPH beat rate. 

For the hardened steel renditions of the Presage Sharp Edged Series, Seiko offers a three-interface treated steel armband highlighting cleaned portions similar to the standard wristband on the Omega Speedmaster Professional. It's an attractive enough structure all alone, including a bit of energetic character to a basic dress arranged plan. For the rose gold-tone plated SPB170, nonetheless, the brand decides on a straightforward mahogany earthy colored cowhide tie with a butterfly deployant catch. It's a work of art, adaptable style that suits the general structure well, and feels more comfortable with the plan than a wristband. All things considered, reseller's exchange lashes are modest and ample, so finding a substitution to suit every proprietor's very own taste ought to be direct.
