Seiko Presage SPB447 Craftsmanship Series Urushi Laquer Dial GMT Automatic Black
The Seiko Presage Craftsmanship Series highlights traditional skills of Japan by showcasing Japanese beauty in mechanical wristwatches. Seiko introduces a new model in the series with a glossy urushi lacquer dial and a GMT function that displays two different time zones. In doing so, the watch combines practical functionality with a dial whose depth invites repeated glances.
Urushi lacquer has been used since ancient times for bowls, plates, and other utensils because of its characteristics as a highly durable natural material, making it an integral part of people's lives. The lacquer dials in the Craftsmanship Series are carefully crafted by combining an innovative manufacturing method that directly combines metal and lacquer with traditional techniques to create a smooth surface. The lacquer applied to the dial must have a beautiful luster yet be thin enough not to interfere with the movement of the hands, which requires a high level of skill. Under the supervision of lacquer artist Isshu Tamura, craftsmen repeatedly applied and polished the lacquer dozens of times to produce the unique glossy depth.
