Seiko Presage Japanese Garden Gents Watch

Inspired by the Japanese garden, a well-known and much admired aspect of Japanese culture. The dial has the depth and rich texture of a Karesansui or Zen garden in which gravel is raked into serene, following patterns like waves or rippling water. The deeply pressed pattern on the dial creates dramatic shadows as do the furrows of gravel in the Karesansui garden. Equally, the dial uses the same minimalistic design aesthetic as the garden, allowing the eye to enjoy both the free, uncluttered space and the powerful statement made by the hour makers under the curved sapphire crystal.
