Introducing the Seiko Presage Classic Series Upcycled Leather Strap Limited Edition SPB529

Seiko's Presage Classic Series Upcycled Leather Strap Limited Edition SPB529 captures the warm, muted tones of autumn. For the first time in the series, a model comes fitted with a leather strap, harmonizing traditional Japanese craftsmanship, environmental mindfulness, and timeless style. The dial, protected by a double-curved sapphire crystal, is rendered in the historic Shiracha tone—a warm brown hue cherished in Japan since the Edo period. Its subtle smoky gradient evokes the natural patina of aged materials and reflects light in a way reminiscent of autumn leaves shimmering in the sun. Gold-toned hour markers and hands enhance the dial’s warm, understated allure.

The 40.2mm stainless steel case, 13mm high, is polished to a mirror finish, while the bezel is treated with an ion coating in a warm brown vintage hue that complements the dial’s rich warmth. A finely grooved case edge accentuates the lines, giving the watch a distinct, classic presence while maintaining a contemporary sophistication. The screw-down case back reveals the Caliber 6R55, featuring a bi-directional automatic winding system with the Magic Lever, hand-winding capability, over 72 hours of power reserve, a date indication, and a seconds stop function for precise time setting.
