Seiko’s Presage line is the brand’s high(er)-end family of watches, falling somewhere between the Seiko’s entry-level mechanical offerings and Grand Seiko. The collection pulls heavily from Seiko’s design and manufacture heritage, employing higher-tier mechanical movements and an impressive level of hand-finishing not often seen in watches at comparable price points. 2016 first saw the expansion of the Presage line outside of Japan with the release of a set of stunning limited edition chronographs featuring enamel and Urushi-lacquered dials—both of which are now readily available in the States. To round out 2016, Seiko has announced their final Presage release of the year—the Presage Automatic 60th Anniversary SARW027—a stunning timepiece based on Seiko’s first-ever automatic watch from 1956.
