Feb 01, 2015,03:27 AM
SEIKO Presage Prestige Line
URUSHI (or JAPAN) Dial models
SARX029(left) & SARW013 (right)
Urushi Meister. Isshu Tamura - also makes Maki-e pen, dishes, as well as watch dials. He can make only 15 dials per day.
So, this is not announced as "LE", but I am sure this will be limited production and soon will be discontinued.
On the black Urushi dial, index are printed 10 times on it and it is really 3D level. As one of the characteristics of Urushi, it keeps "hardening", not "solidifying", so its durability is almost perpetual.
The power reserve model on the left is SARW013, and three hands model on the right is SARX029.
Specifications:
Case: SARW013 - 40.5mm, 13.2mm thick/ SARX029 - 40.5mm, 12.0mm thick
Glass: Curbed Saphhire Glass (anti reflective coating inside)
Back: Display back
Water resistant: 10 ATM
Anti-magnetic
Movement: 6R27 (SARW013) and 6R15 (SARX029)
Automatic
+25/ -15 sec per day.
Power reserve 45 hours (6R27), 50 hours (6R15)
28,800 vph for 6R27
21,600 vph for 6R15
Stay tuned for more!

I would hope that these will make it to the GS line? That's a very nice looking dial and technique and it will be perfect if paired to a great movement.
I wanna check it soon.

...but seriously, your English wouldn't be as bad as you may think. Photos and a few words would describe what you want to show and that is the spirit! And you can practice English while talking hobby - that's the bonus! Ken
Sorry for late.

I was bad in bed last weekend , so I visited WAKO today and watched them . I wasn't allowed to take photos . Both of them are beautiful . But it's not easy to understand that they have urushi dials . Two enamel dial models were displayed next to urushis ,...
They look a bit special!
