Presage Classic Open Heart SPB469J1 Watch

The Watch

Seiko is a Japanese brand founded in Tokyo in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori. Over more than a century, it has established itself as an essential name in the world of watchmaking. Proud of its rich heritage, it continues to deliver exceptional timepieces - and as one of the rare watch brands to manufacture all of its own components, every model blends cutting-edge engineering, advanced functionality, and refined design for true enthusiasts. This beautiful Presage Classic Series SPB469J1 watch from the Presage line is no exception. Elegant and sophisticated, its classic silhouette makes a distinctive statement. The round case is crafted in stainless steel with curved lugs for a comfortable fit, a scratch-resistant coating, and brushed and polished finishes for added charm. At 40.20 mm in diameter and 13 mm thick, it's designed for men's wrists. The sapphire crystal is domed to echo the dial's curved shape, providing strong protection against shocks and optimal legibility thanks to its anti-reflective coating. The knurled crown at 3 o'clock, engraved with the brand logo, handles function adjustments. Finally, the screwed transparent caseback offers a view of the movement and guarantees 10 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

This stunning watch features a dial that's as modern as it is refined. Its textured design evokes the softness and suppleness of raw silk - a nod to Japanese culture. Set in a minimalist white tone, the dial is elevated by a sandblasted finish for a sophisticated touch. The background is accented by grey indicators that create a striking contrast against the dial's base. Two alpha hands sweep from the center to display hours and minutes, complemented by a slender seconds hand. Twelve baton indices complete the elegant layout to mark the hours, framed by a minute track along the perimeter. A sub-dial at 6 o'clock displays the 24-hour indicator, while the open heart at 9 o'clock reveals a mesmerizing glimpse of the movement's inner workings. The result is a clean, captivating timepiece that adds real character to your wrist. The brand name sits just below the 12 o'clock double index, with the collection name printed at 3 o'clock.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Japanese automatic movement - the in-house 6R5J caliber. An exceptional mechanism equipped with 24 jewels, it beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. Highly accurate at +25/-15 seconds/day, it reliably displays hours, minutes, and seconds, and also drives the 24-hour sub-dial. Its power reserve stands at 72 hours.

The Bracelet

Embrace the understated elegance of this bracelet inspired by the 1970s. Crafted in stainless steel with a scratch-resistant treatment for lasting protection, its brushed and polished links give it a distinctly bold character. Comfortable and durable, it elevates any outfit for a perfectly polished look. The lug width is 20 mm and it fastens with a push-button deployment clasp for a secure, confident fit.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. It's genuinely waterproof - and ready to take on any aquatic adventure with a smile. From puddles to the pool, this timepiece handles water exposure without breaking a sweat. Shower, bath, and lap swimming? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want you to know this model, while water-resistant, is not suitable for diving (recreational or professional) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers out of use during submersion.
