Seiko unveiled its highly anticipated models in distinguished Presage collection. The Seiko Presage 2024 Classic Series comprises five meticulously crafted watches, each a testament to Seiko’s commitment to excellence. Among them are two captivating open-heart designs and three date and time automatic watches. Uniform in size, with a diameter of 40.2mm and a thickness of 13mm, these timepieces exude an understated elegance that is both timeless and refined.

A Symphony of Colors and Textures
Drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of Japanese craftsmanship, the Seiko Presage 2024 boasts captivating curved dials adorned with rich textures, reminiscent of the delicate weave of silk. The warm and natural hues pay homage to Japan’s cultural tapestry, with colors like “Shiro-iro,” “Araigaki,” and “Sumi-iro” evoking the essence of traditional textiles. Each dial is meticulously curved to capture the interplay of light and shadow, while the indices and hands gracefully conform to the dial’s contours, creating a harmonious visual symphony.

Craftsmanship Redefined
Beyond its captivating aesthetics, the Seiko Presage 2024 is a testament to precision engineering and superior craftsmanship. The soft, curved surfaces of the case, paired with a dual-curved sapphire crystal, add depth and dimension to the timepiece, while a newly developed multi-row bracelet provides a delicate and comfortable fit on the wrist. Powered by the Seiko caliber 6R55 and boasting a 72-hour power reserve, these watches offer unparalleled performance and reliability, ensuring effortless elegance for every occasion.

A Timeless Investment with Style
With a retail price starting at $950, the Seiko Presage 2024 presents an exceptional value proposition for enthusiasts seeking uncompromising quality and style. Available from June 2024 at Seiko Boutiques and select retail partners worldwide, these timepieces offer a timeless investment in luxury and sophistication. I wouldn’t be suprised them to sold out upon arriving at stores.
The SPB469 is my personal favorite, even thought I don’t normally go for open heart models.
In summary
With the unveiling of the Seiko Presage 2024, Seiko once again reaffirms its position as a pioneer in blending tradition with innovation to create a masterpiece that transcends time and style. Every aspect of the Seiko Presage 2024 speaks to the brand’s unwavering commitment to excellence. In our opinion this watch is a must have if you don’t already have previous presage models in your collection.
