Presage SSA425J1 Watch

The Watch

For over a century, Japanese Maison Seiko has been crafting exceptional timepieces. The Presage collection features exclusively mechanical models. The SSA425J1 watch showcases the brand's deep expertise through a vintage design inspired by the 1960s. It features a round case in silver-tone stainless steel. At 40.8 mm in diameter, it sits perfectly on men's wrists. The black bezel features a visual countdown scale and frames a matching black dial. The dial creates a striking contrast with its luminous hour markers. The baton indexes and the two hour and minute hands are coated for clear analog readability day and night. Two counters are interwoven on the left side of the dial: a 24-hour counter between 10 and 12 o'clock, and an open-heart counter at the 9 o'clock position. The dial is shielded by a domed Hardlex crystal - a proprietary glass developed by the Maison. This open-heart finish offers a captivating view of the automatic movement in action. You can also admire it through the watch's transparent screw-down case back, which keeps the watch water-resistant to 5 ATM.

The Dial

Deeply black, the round dial on this watch will win you over with its refined design. At its center, the two luminous hands for hours and minutes are joined by a slender seconds hand with a delicate leaf shape. All three sweep a perimeter lined with double baton indexes, equally luminous. A white minute track completes the indexes for a more comfortable and precise reading of the time. The 12 o'clock index is tripled, while the 9 o'clock position gives way to an open-heart aperture. Let yourself be mesmerized by the mechanical gears in motion - a timeless detail that gives this timepiece its undeniable character. Above it, a 24-hour counter in white-on-black adds an extra layer of time reference. Finally, the Maison signs its creation at 3 o'clock and notes the collection name and movement type at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

Housed within the case and visible through both the open-heart dial finish and the transparent case back, an automatic movement powers this timepiece. Manufactured in-house by Maison Seiko, this Japanese caliber accurately displays hours, minutes, and seconds, and drives the 24-hour chronograph counter with precision and reliability.

The Bracelet

The case rests on a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet. Its three rows of links deliver optimal comfort and a secure fit. The classic, elegant design pairs effortlessly with any outfit - from everyday casual to polished and sophisticated. Slip it on and fasten it with ease using the push-button deployment clasp.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. It is designed to be a strikingly beautiful watch that shines in any social setting. That refined appeal doesn't compromise its ability to handle everyday elements. You can keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it on the edge of the sink to preserve its brilliance and longevity. For swimming and diving, we strongly advise against wearing this watch to avoid damage and potential repair costs.
