Seiko Presage Craftsmanship Series Arita Porcelain Dual Time SPB445

A Dual Time with a spectacular Arita porcelain dial Offering the finest in Japanese mechanical watchmaking, the Seiko Presage Collection blends precision technology with superior craftsmanship and design. Arita porcelain, prized for its unique blue and white colors, is among the classic expressions of Japanese artistry showcased in the Presage Craftsmanship Series, used to create high-strength, three-dimensional dials, individually crafted by master artisans in a multi-step process combining technical innovation with centuries of inspiration. This creation features a “Hakuji” dial that highlights the pure white color of the porcelain material through an application of transparent glaze. Simple bar indexes have been used so as not to detract from the porcelain’s luster, a quality enhanced by the curved surface of the dial's outer circumference. On the dial, the area just inside the indexes is decorated with a delicate pattern, and the sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position is recessed to achieve delicate shading. The case design is at once graceful and sharp. Secured by a multi-row bracelet with links in contrasting finishes, the watch rests comfortably and securely on the wrist while enhancing the lustrous appearance of the Arita Porcelain dial. The tips of the minute and seconds hands are bent toward the dial, bringing them closer to the dial’s markers for heightened legibility, and a dual-curved sapphire glass minimizes the thickness of the case. A super-hard coating enhances the case and bracelet while protecting the watch from scratches.
