Seiko Presage Classic Series Craftsmanship Arita Porcelain 145th Anniversary automatic blue dial leather strap 39,6 mm

A limited edition celebrating 145 years of watchmaking heritage

To mark its 145th anniversary, Seiko unveils a series of exclusive creations paying tribute to its heritage and spirit of innovation. The Presage Classic Series HCC007J1 is part of this commemorative collection, limited to just 1,500 pieces worldwide.

This reference perfectly embodies the refined Japanese elegance of the Presage collection. Its sophisticated design draws inspiration from traditional Japanese arts while celebrating the iconic “Seiko Blue”, a signature color of the manufacture since the 1960s. With its well-balanced 39.6 mm case diameter, this anniversary edition appeals to both classic watch enthusiasts and collectors seeking exclusive timepieces.

A color palette inspired by Japanese craftsmanship

The dial of the HCC007J1 is crafted in Arita porcelain and finished with a deep cobalt blue enamel. This artisanal dial showcases subtle variations and a rich depth that reflect the traditional Japanese porcelain-making heritage.

This striking blue base is enhanced by silver-tone hands and indexes, ensuring excellent readability while reinforcing the watch’s elegant identity. The overall monochrome aesthetic is complemented by a deep blue leather strap, creating a refined and cohesive visual harmony.

The result is a sophisticated composition where Japanese craftsmanship meets modern elegance, embodying Seiko’s long-standing pursuit of beauty and innovation.

A case with elegant proportions

The Presage HCC007J1 features a stainless-steel case measuring 39.6 mm in diameter, offering a balanced presence on the wrist. Its smooth lines and refined finishing highlight the classic spirit of the Presage collection.

The double-curved sapphire crystal enhances the vintage-inspired aesthetic while improving light diffusion across the dial’s textured surface. On the case back, a screw-down transparent sapphire display reveals the movement inside, emphasizing the mechanical artistry of the timepiece.

Thanks to its harmonious proportions and timeless silhouette, this limited edition delivers a distinguished yet understated wrist presence.

A reliable and efficient automatic manufacture movement

At the heart of this Presage beats the Seiko 6R51 automatic movement, a reliable in-house mechanical calibre designed for everyday performance. Visible through the transparent case back, it reflects Seiko’s decades of horological expertise.

Equipped with both automatic and manual winding, the 6R51 offers a generous power reserve of approximately 72 hours, allowing the watch to be set aside for a full weekend without stopping.

The movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and is fitted with 24 jewels, ensuring durability and smooth performance over time.

Designed for daily wear, the HCC007J1 also features water resistance up to 100 meters (10 bar), providing protection against splashes, rain, and light aquatic activities.

Combining precision, robustness, and extended autonomy, the 6R51 calibre perfectly reflects the spirit of the Presage collection: authentic, elegant, and accessible mechanical watchmaking rooted in Seiko’s technical excellence.
