The Seiko Presage SPB405J1 is part of the Presage Craftsmanship Series, where traditional Japanese artistry meets refined mechanical watchmaking. Its unique dial is created using Urushi lacquering, a centuries-old Japanese craft in which natural lacquer, derived from the sap of the Japanese lacquer tree, is applied by hand in multiple layers. Each dial is painted and polished repeatedly by master craftspeople to achieve the deep, silky colour often found in fine art and design.
This collection celebrates the Japanese concept of “Takumi”, honouring master artisans who combine Seiko’s latest watchmaking techniques with traditional craftsmanship. The Urushi dial features a clear, balanced layout paired with a classic case style, while the multi-row bracelet is designed to sit comfortably on the wrist, enhancing everyday wearability.
Powered by the new in-house Seiko 6R55 calibre, the SPB405J1 offers an extended three-day power reserve. As part of the Seiko Presage family, this timepiece embodies timeless looks, precise mechanical timekeeping and a minimalistic, distinctly Japanese aesthetic, making it a refined expression of heritage and craftsmanship.
