Seiko Presage Watch SSA461J1

The Watch

Seiko is a legendary watchmaking brand, celebrated worldwide for its precision, innovation, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori, it quickly made its mark on the industry with high-quality timepieces and revolutionary technological advances. Synonymous with reliability, meticulous craftsmanship, and elegant design, Seiko offers models that seamlessly blend tradition and modernity. The iconic Japanese brand has established itself across the market with a broad range of watches - from rugged sports models to refined, sophisticated creations. Every timepiece is a testament to Seiko's exceptional expertise, combining mechanical precision, refined aesthetics, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. Today, the brand presents the Presage SSA461J1 watch, designed to adorn men's wrists in any situation. It features a round silver-toned case crafted from polished stainless steel, giving it a brilliant appearance and long-lasting resistance. Comfortable to wear, the case measures 39.50 mm in diameter and 12 mm in thickness. It features a gray bezel with triangular markers and Arabic numerals spaced every 10 units. The bezel surrounds a box-shaped Hardlex crystal that protects the dial's hands against shocks. All settings are accessed via the gray crown at 3 o'clock, used for time adjustment. Its knurled grip ensures easy handling. The whole is sealed by a screw-down, engraved caseback guaranteeing a water resistance of 5 ATM. Through its transparent exhibition window, you can admire the oscillations of the movement in detail.

The Dial

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this dial features a captivating design that brings a beautiful touch to this timepiece. Its round shape showcases a skeleton finish, revealing the movement's intricate inner workings. Against a perforated black base, three silver-toned hands ensure reliable everyday reading. The hour and minute hands are dauphine-style, while a slender seconds hand sweeps the elapsed seconds. Together, they glide over baton-style hour markers and a minute track along the dial's edge. For better legibility in low light, the two main hands and the hour indexes feature a Lumibrite treatment - a luminescent coating that glows in the dark. At 3 o'clock, the brand name and collection name are displayed as a signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by an automatic movement of Japanese origin - specifically the Seiko caliber 4R72, a robust and reliable mechanism with an accuracy of +45/-35 seconds per day. It features 24 jewels that minimize friction for accurate analog display, beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph, and offers a power reserve of 41 hours.

The Strap

This beautiful strap will elevate your look effortlessly. Carefully crafted in buffalo leather, it offers lasting durability and remarkable suppleness. Its brown color with brown stitching pairs naturally with any outfit. Versatile in all conditions and comfortable for everyday wear, this strap measures 20 mm wide and features a silver-toned pin buckle for easy handling.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. It's designed first and foremost to look stunning and turn heads. That said, its refined appearance doesn't compromise its ability to stand up to everyday life. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends setting it aside to preserve its brilliance and longevity. As for swimming and scuba diving, we strongly advise against it - doing so risks damaging the watch and incurring repair costs.
