The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged SPB167J1 is a watch that embraces Japanese design and culture with a very wearable and simply beautiful watch. The inspiration behind dial is the Japanese Asanoha or hemp leaf pattern, which has been used in Japanese designs since the Heian period - well over a thousand years ago. The fibers that make up the stem were originally used to manufacture fabrics. The pattern of the leaf symbolizes strong, rapid growth and health, especially in young people. The sharp geometric pattern and rich texture of the dials creates a continuously changing image as light plays across them at different angles. Truly mesmerising and beautiful. Every millimeter of this watch has been thought of and appreciated, as only Seiko is capable of. 

When it comes to watches such as these, the details and smallest nuances can make a huge impact, which is why it's so hard to make a truly inspiring model. What Seiko did was get the details just right. Everything from the inspiration, the elegantly shaped 39.3mm (47.2mm lug to lug distance) case, mere 11.1mm thickness, it all makes this watch both timeless, stand out and stylish. It is also a very capable watch with 100m water resistance a super hard coating and under the hood is the Seiko Cal. 6R35 movement. This amazing movement features an impressive 70 hour power reserve and date window at three o'clock. Of course this is an in-house Seiko movement, in line with the rich history of the brand.

Whether you wear this watch on stage, behind a desk or on an adventure, it's capable, beautiful and carries a history like few watches can.
