Seiko Presage Classic “Unglazed Arita Porcelain” Limited Edition SPB497

The Seiko Presage SPB497 is a standout limited edition that highlights the brand’s deep respect for Japanese artistry and refined mechanical watchmaking. What sets this timepiece apart is its unglazed Arita porcelain dial, a rare feature that gives the surface a softly textured, matte finish instead of the typical glossy look. Inspired by traditional Japanese craftsmanship, the dial is framed by a subtle geometric motif and completed with slim gold-tone hands and markers. It is housed in a polished 40.6mm stainless steel case with a dual-curved sapphire crystal and is powered by Seiko’s Caliber 6R51 automatic movement, which offers a 72-hour power reserve and 100-meter water resistance. Limited to only 1,200 pieces globally, the SPB497 perfectly blends cultural heritage with contemporary watchmaking.
