Features of the Seiko Presage 1: ” Highly Reliable and Durable Movement

The ” movement ” is said to be the heart of a watch, and is an important part that determines the accuracy and durability of a watch. Presage is characterized by the use of a highly reliable Japan-made movement. Seiko uses a variety of movements in its products, but the “4R,” the higher-ranked “6R,” and the “8R” series of chronographs with stopwatch functions are used in the Presage to ensure accuracy, stability, and durability. As for the “6R,” it is equipped with Seiko’s proprietary “Trimatic” winding system, which enhances the winding effect of automatic wristwatches. The dial and back cover of the Presage are see-through, allowing the naked eye to view the watch, another point that tickles the hearts of men.

Feature of Seiko’s “Presage” (2) “Antimagnetic performance that keeps accurate time

Watches can be affected by magnetism, which can cause them to run behind or ahead of schedule and eventually break down. To avoid such a situation, the Plézage is equipped with antimagnetic performance. Compared to models without antimagnetic performance, it is less likely to lose time and keeps accurate time. Since computers and smartphones, which we use every day, emit magnetism, it is nice to have this feature in a watch that we use on a daily basis.

Feature of Seiko’s “Presage” watches (3) ” Many models with 10 ATM water resistance for peace of mind

Watches, which are worn for a long time, are items that often come into contact with water in daily life. Many models of Presage are equipped with a 10 atmospheric pressure water resistance function, and can withstand water pressure of 100 m, not to mention water resistance in daily life, such as washing one’s face or hands. However, watches are complex structures, and presages are not designed to withstand water pressure in swimming pools or the sea. Care should be taken when immersing the watch in water for long periods of time or during activities such as marine sports.
