Seiko Presage Automatic Sharp Edged Kabuki - Ltd Ed 2000pcs Ref. SARX101 / SPB331

The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Kabuki Automatic Ref. SARX101 is an exquisite timepiece inspired by Kabuki, the 17th-century Japanese theatre during the Edo period. Following the design ethos of the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged series, the Kabuki Automatic Ref. SARX 101 references the colours, textures, and patterns of nature. The elements of nature are represented in the classic Japanese hemp leaf pattern (Asanoha). At the same time, its contrasting colours of Kakiiro (a deep red-brown colour often used in Kabuki costumes) and gold are reminiscent of the conservative Edo period. This exclusive watch is limited to 2,000 pieces worldwide.

The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Kabuki Automatic Ref. SARX101 retains the collection's iconic characteristics, such as the sharp case lines, narrow bezel, blend of brushed and polished surfaces, and use of sapphire crystal with inner AR coating. The sharp-looking full-black SARX101 carries a slim and compact profile, with a lug-to-lug of 47mm and a 39mm case that is only 11mm thin. Furthermore, its black stainless steel case is treated with a hard black coating for a seamless match to its black leather strap with matching black deployment buckle.

Intricate finishing on the multi faceted case

Looking at its boldly contrasting dial, the Asanoha hemp leaf pattern is artfully executed against the Kakiiro, with a gradient outwards to a darker periphery. It almost feels like a spotlight shone onto the centre stage, where the golden sword-like hands meet. Golden markers that are applied all around, together with the date at 3 o'clock and the gold-toned minute scale on the inner flange, complete its grandeur look. 

The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Kabuki Automatic Ref SARX101uses the mid-range automatic movement, the calibre 6R35, with 24 jewels, a 3Hz frequency, and a 70 hour power reserve. Watch it strut its moves from the transparent case back, which provides 100m water resistance.

Culture and art combined with the best watchmaking techniques can be found in this exclusive Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Kabuki Automatic Ref. SARX101. Only for the bold and discerning watch-lover.
