HCC011J","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1910s, the Japanese watch manufacturer debuted its first mechanical watch. In continuation of its development, Seiko has launched its automatic caliber in the 1950s, along with its marvel, which is the creation of its shock absorbing system for the movement; known as the \"Diashock\" system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeiko has gone through a decade of refining and developing its mechanical watchmaking skills. These had led to the creation of Seiko's all-mechanical collection; the Presage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRepresenting the core of Seikos mechanical watchmaking expertise, the Presage range offers fully in house dress watches powered by movements spanning the 4R, 6R, and 8R families. Expanding on the vintage aesthetic of the recent Presage Classic Series, Seiko collaborated with Tradmans Bonsai, a contemporary Tokyo collective bringing fresh cultural perspective to traditional bonsai art. The new Ref HCC011J1 takes direct inspiration from the striking silhouette of a Japanese black pine bathed in moonlight. Every element of the watch, from its textured dial surface to its nuanced colour palette, works in harmony to capture this iconic landscape on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 500px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/7833\/4784\/files\/SeikoHCC011J-05.jpg?v=1789556496\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #696969;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeiko Presage Classic Series Tradman's Bonsai - Ltd Ed 600pcs Ref.

The main centre case is treated to a radiant full polished finish, creating smooth reflections that elevate the classic vintage personality of the overall design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnder a domed sapphire crystal, the dial featured here is finished in matsuba iro, or pine needle green, a traditional Japanese colour associated with longevity and good fortune. It features an entirely new texture inspired by the rugged bark of an aged Japanese black pine. The elaborate relief catches the light differently at different viewing angles, creating noticeable depth while maintaining the understated elegance of the Presage Classic Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 500px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/7833\/4784\/files\/SeikoHCC011J-04.jpg?v=1789556496\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #696969;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eInspired by the serene beauty of a Japanese black pine bonsai tree illuminated by the moon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the dial, gold toned applied bar shaped indices catch the eye, anchored at 12 oclock by a prominent double index marker.
