SEIKO Presage Urushi Dial Limited Edition Automatic Black Leather Strap

The deep green of the Kanazawa forests is captured in Urushi lacquer.
The dial of this new timepiece is made with Urushi lacquer in the studio of master craftsman Isshu Tamura in Kanazawa, in the center of Honshu,
Japan’s main island, using the centuries old art of Urushi which Tamura learned from his father. The dial is painted and polished by hand several
times. It is time-consuming and challenging work, but it is the traditional and best way to create the perfect depth of color. Urushi also has
the advantage that it gets harder and stronger as the years pass, which is why it was used during the Sengoku era in the manufacture of armor for
Samurai. The dial is a deep green color that is characteristic of Kanazawa in summer and the gold accents echo the warm light of the sunshine that
penetrates the lush, moss-covered forests of the region.
