Seiko Presage
Sharp Edged Series
Concept
The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series is a new design series with the original and powerful appearance of Japanese artistry. The simplicity and sophistication of traditional Japanese aesthetics is captured in a subtly structured dial and is complemented by the contemporary design with a clean-lined, angular case and strap construction.
Design
Presage Sharp Edged Series watch cases and bracelets contain many flat surfaces with sharp corners. This gives the watches a shiny and beautiful appearance from every angle. The extremely precisely cut and polished surfaces with the sharp edges contrast with the 'matte finish' to create a subtle multi-dimensional effect in the silhouette.
Clock Face Pattern
The dial features the Japanese Asanoha or hemp leaf pattern, which has been used in Japanese designs since the Heian period - 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 the light plays across them at different angles.
Color Dial
Each model offers a dial in a different traditional Japanese color: Shironeri, silky white; Aitetsu, or indigo iron; Tokiwa, the color of evergreen trees; Susutake, the reddish-brown color of smoked bamboo; and Sumiiro, the color of India ink.

Sharp Edged Series GMT
These four watches are powered by the 8-beat GMT automatic caliber 6R64. The GMT hand on each model is in a different color to optimally contrast with the underlying dial. All hands and indexes are coated with a generous layer of Lumibrite to ensure legibility. The GMT hand can also be used as a second time indicator. The hour hand is adjustable, even if the minute and second hands continue to show the time. The rings around the dial are in two colors to distinguish the day and night hours at a glance. The date is displayed on a small dial at the six o'clock position and there is a power reserve indicator at nine o'clock.

The sharp and angular design of the cabinet created a cabinet that is light and comfortable to wear. The slim, precision-polished surfaces on the case and strap give a contemporary look.

The extra clear sapphire glass on the front and back provide an impeccable view of the refined beauty of the dial and movement.
