Presage Automatic Watch SSK009J1

The Watch

A symbol of Japanese beauty, craftsmanship, and innovation, Seiko has carved out its own identity in the watchmaking world - becoming synonymous with precision and excellence. Its watches blend traditional artistry, cutting-edge technology, and refined aesthetics to accompany their wearers with style and reliability for every occasion. Today, Seiko unveils its new Presage SSK009J1 watch - a timeless, dependable model that commands attention and will quickly become your go-to timepiece. Designed and crafted for the modern, style-conscious man, it adds a polished finishing touch to any outfit - from sharp tailoring to smart-casual looks - projecting a confident, sport-chic masculinity. The round case is crafted in stainless steel with a brushed finish, measuring 40.75 mm in diameter and 13.01 mm thick. Sturdy yet comfortable, it suits virtually any wrist size and ensures all-day wearing comfort. It is elevated by a fixed black bezel that adds a modern, captivating edge to the watch. The bezel is graduated with hour markers in Arabic numerals and triangular indices in 24-hour format, supporting the GMT function. A "Box Shaped" Hardlex crystal sits over the dial to protect it against the shocks and scratches of daily wear. A crown with grooved grip at 3 o'clock enables manual adjustment of the hours, minutes, and date. Finally, the screwed-down transparent caseback ensures 5-bar water resistance while offering an admirable view of the watch's inner movement.

The Dial

The round dial is the defining feature of this watch, showcasing a stunning "Blue Gray" dial. The interplay of colors between the center and the surrounding rings contrasts beautifully with the semi-matte finish, delivering a visually elegant effect that makes time reading effortless at a glance. Two dauphine hands in gray sweep smoothly to indicate the hours and minutes - even in low-light conditions - thanks to their Lumibrite coating. A slim gray seconds hand joins them, while a fourth arrow-tipped Lumibrite GMT hand simultaneously points to the bezel to display GMT time. The outer edge features a minutes railway track marked by white lines, surrounding 5-minute Arabic numeral graduations. The hours are indicated by baton and rectangular indices with Lumibrite treatment. A white date window sits at 3 o'clock, displaying the date in black Arabic numerals. Finally, Seiko signs the watch with its name at 12 o'clock and notes at 6 o'clock the water resistance, the collection name, "GMT", and "Made in Japan".

The Movement

An automatic movement of Japanese origin powers this watch, ensuring reliable performance in any situation. Running at an oscillation frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 41-hour power reserve, this is specifically the Seiko caliber 4R34. Featuring 24 jewels, this movement is renowned for its high quality and outstanding efficiency. It drives the hands and date window with smooth precision, delivering accurate and dependable display of hours, minutes, seconds, and the date.

The Strap

The watch comes fitted with a stainless steel bracelet that reinforces its sporty, modern character. Composed of three rows of links and finished with a brushed treatment, it adds a refined touch to the overall look. Flexible yet structured, it wraps around your wrist with ease and pairs effortlessly with any outfit. With a 20 mm lug width, it features a single push-button deployment clasp for a secure fit that makes putting on and taking off your watch smooth and simple.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle splashes and brief contact with water, but shouldn't be submerged for extended periods. You can wear it in the shower on occasion, but to preserve the precision and longevity of the movement, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from prolonged water exposure: no swimming, no diving, and no extended immersion.
