Seiko has announced the Presage Classic Series Craftsmanship Arita Porcelain Dial Limited Edition Ref.HCC007J. The model is presented as featuring an Arita porcelain dial made with ruri-blue glaze, together with radial variations in shading created by its textured surface.
The new model announced by Seiko is the Presage Classic Series Craftsmanship Arita Porcelain Dial Limited Edition Ref.HCC007J, which has drawn attention for being the first Presage model to use ruri-blue glaze. The dial is reported to combine the traditional beauty of Arita porcelain with the transparency and gradation of ruri glaze, evoking Seiko Blue.
The middle section of the article explains the Arita porcelain dial’s improved strength and the processing technology used to cast it in a plaster mold. The dial is said to be more than four times stronger than conventional versions. The article also emphasizes the demanding development process, in which the tone of the ruri glaze, the thickness of its application, and the depth of the mold pattern were adjusted as an integrated set of variables.
This model brings a classical design into a modern format, combining 39.6mm case proportions with leaf-shaped hour and minute hands. Its fit on the wrist is said to be well suited to in-store evaluation when paired with a navy leather strap. The dial is designed with its center set one level lower, creating radial texture and a white border around the perimeter that adds contrast.
