The Seiko Presage Ao Sharp Edged SPB417J1 is a watch that embraces Japanese design and culture with a very wearable and simply beautiful watch. The inspiration behind dial is the Japanese Asanoha or hemp leaf pattern, which has been used in Japanese designs since the Heian period - well over a thousand years ago. The fibers that make up the stem were originally used to manufacture fabrics. The pattern of the leaf symbolizes strong, rapid growth and health, especially in young people. The sharp geometric pattern and rich texture of the dials creates a continuously changing image as light plays across them at different angles.. Truly mesmerising and beautiful. This also recurs in the Asanoha pattern over the open heart. Every millimeter of this watch has been thought of and appreciated, as only Seiko is capable of. 

When it comes to watches such as these, the details and smallest nuances can make a huge impact, which is why it's so hard to make a truly inspiring model. What Seiko did was get the details just right. Everything from the inspiration, the elegantly shaped 40.2mm (47.4mm lug to lug distance) case, mere 13.5mm thickness, it all makes this watch both timeless, stand out and stylish. It is also a very capable watch with 100m water resistance, a super hard coating and under the hood is the Seiko Cal. 6R5J movement. This amazing movement features an incredible 3 day, or 72 hour power reserve and a 24 hour indicator. Of course this is an in-house Seiko movement, in line with the rich history of the brand.

Whether you wear this watch on stage, behind a desk or on an adventure, it's capable, beautiful and carries a history like few watches can.

  3 year warranty

  Seiko watches come with a 3 year warranty. This covers all mechanical malfunction arising from parts failure and/or assembly errors. Excluded are parts that by their nature may not last 3 years, like batteries and leather straps, damage/problems caused by improper use and wear and tear. We stand behind the brands that we sell and the quality that they offer.
  Some of our brands also offer an international warranty, which will also apply.

  Service and parts

  In the unfortunate event of a problem with your watch, you simply need to send it to us (or take it to another dealer if the brand offers an international warranty). We have access to the official service centers, where only original parts are used and the watchmakers are qualified and experienced with your type of watch. Not every watch movement is the same, so it's best if it's handled by people who know what they are doing.
  After your 2 years warranty has expired we are able to offer service in most cases.
