The Seiko 4R35 movement
Powering the watch is Seiko’s caliber 4R35, which runs at a 21,600vph frequency, features 23 jewels, and holds a power reserve of 41 hours. Its accuracy should be between -35 and +45 seconds a day, but knowing Seiko, it’s probably a little more accurate than that. You can look at the movement and its gold-colored rotor through the exhibition case back. This case back is of the screw-in variety, which helps the watch be water resistant to 50 meters.
A brushed light blue dial
Now, let’s look at the star of the show — the light blue dial. It has a radially brushed finish in the center and on the edge, while the ring underneath the hour markers shows vertical brushing. This finish has a nice visual effect and makes the dial come alive in different lighting situations. Like many other Seiko Presage Style60’s models, it features elongated and sharply beveled hour markers. At 3 o’clock, though, there’s a date window with a nicely executed steel frame around it.
The dauphine hour and minute hands are sharp and have a nice amount of luminous filling. This and the lume plots at each hour will help with readability in the dark. Above 6 o’clock sits the Presage collection name and the “Automatic” text. Unfortunately, there’s no applied Seiko logo at 12, but if you look closely, you’ll be able to appreciate the nice font used for the print.
Final thoughts
As said, I think the Seiko Presage Style60’s European Limited Edition SRPL19 is debuting at a great time. It’s here to brighten the short winter days and remind us of blue summer skies. The dial looks great with the vertical and radial brushing, and the dark blue bezel insert keeps it all nicely together. For €640, I think this is quite a good watch, and it even comes with an additional beige sailcloth strap.
The Seiko Presage Style60’s European Limited Edition SRPL19 is limited to 3,000 watches. And, yes, as you have guessed from the name, it is only for sale in Europe. Check out the official Seiko website for more information.
