SPB217J1: Seiko Presage Sharp Edged GMT Asanosha Watch
The Seiko SPB217J1 from the Presage Sharp Edged Collection honors the cultural heritage of Japanese craftsmanship. This series aims to reveal a delicate texture on the dial, represented by a traditional Japanese pattern known as Asanoha (Hemp Leaf).
Design
The sides of the 42.00 mm case feature a polished finish alongside angular case cutouts with a brushed finish, combining two contrasting textures in a thickness of 13.65 mm. The blue dial showcases a traditional Japanese pattern known as Asanosha or Hemp Leaf.
Functions
The caliber used in this model is the 6R64 with 23 jewels; this caliber enhances performance as these high-precision, low-friction bearings replace materials like brass or steel, drastically reducing wear and ensuring exceptional longevity. Additionally, it incorporates the GMT function, adding practicality to the movement.
Details
Its link bracelet, with a subtle shine detail mixed with brushed surfaces, provides a sporty appearance. The water resistance of 10 bar (100 meters) and Lumibrite on the hands and indices are other notable features of this model. The watch hands, with a slim and elongated profile, along with a slight widening at the base, make them elegant and easy to read, following the Dauphine pattern. The GMT hand, with an elegant rose-tone finish and a simple, functional baton design, complements the dial.
