Description
SEIKO PRESAGE Japanese Garden HCB008J
The SEIKO PRESAGE HCB008J is a Japanese Domestic Market mechanical watch inspired by a traditional Japanese garden in Kyoto under the moonlight. Its black textured dial represents the still darkness of the garden at night, while gold-coloured hands and Roman numeral indexes evoke soft moonlight illuminating the landscape.
Kyoto Moonlit Night
The design captures the tranquil transition from evening to night in the ancient city of Kyoto. A deep black dial creates the impression of a quiet garden after sunset, while polished gold-coloured details introduce the warmth and elegance of moonlight.
Japanese Dry-Garden Sand Pattern
The dial features a finely stamped pattern inspired by the flowing sand designs found in traditional Japanese dry gardens. The textured surface changes its appearance depending on the viewing angle and lighting, creating visual depth across the black dial.
Open-Heart Display
A distinctive open-heart aperture reveals the movement operating beneath the dial. Its carefully calculated shape provides a clear view of the mechanical structure and red movement jewels, which evoke stones positioned within a traditional Japanese garden.
Calibre 4R71 Mechanical Movement
The watch is powered by SEIKO Calibre 4R71, a 24-jewel mechanical movement offering both automatic and manual winding. It operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and provides approximately 41 hours of running time when fully wound. A stop-seconds function allows more precise time setting.
Dual-Curved Sapphire Crystal
A dual-curved sapphire crystal enhances the classical profile of the watch while providing excellent scratch resistance. Curved minute and seconds hands follow the shape of the dial and crystal, contributing to the refined three-dimensional appearance.
See-Through Case Back
The exhibition case back provides an additional view of the mechanical movement. The screw-down case-back construction combines stainless steel and glass, allowing the wearer to appreciate the movement from both the dial and case-back sides.
Black Leather Strap
A black calf-leather strap complements the dark dial and gives the watch a refined dress appearance. The strap features a push-button three-fold clasp and quick-release levers for easier removal and replacement.
