Seiko Presage 1881 Limited Edition Snow Flake
Fans of Seiko's Presage line will already know that these watches present tremendous value for money, offering thinks like precision movements and enamel dials at more affordable prices. The new SJE073 is no different. From straight on, the just-under-41mm case might look familiar, but turn it sideways and you'll notice a big difference. It's now under 10mm thick due to a slimmer caliber and new construction method that involves front-loading the movement to slim down the back. The dial is also worth remarking upon, with its textured, silvered finish that immediately make me think of the epic Snowflake dial found on the Spring Drive SBGA011.
Sifting through Seiko and Grand Seiko's new offerings is always an exciting affair, but when I saw this, my jaw dropped. That dial? That case profile? And all for under £2,500? Don't even get me started. If this watch were under 40mm in diameter, I'd have already called the London City boutique to place an order. Seiko is always pushing things, albeit in restrained and thoughtful ways, and this watch is a perfect example of that. Sometimes incremental improvement can have an outsized impact. This is a watch that I absolutely cannot wait to see in the metal. I have a funny feeling it's going to be a total knock-out.
Hi,
I hope everything is going well.
Payment only via Chronos24.
The watch was bought new from Timepiece Finland Oy, a Chrono24 dealer with almost 400 recent reviews and 5 stars average, as an investment. I can send screenshots from my Chrono24 app to prove it, if needed.
I am can help with any other questions or queries. I can send more pictures, videos, we can contact via video call to see the watch more in detail... sorry for the quality of the pictures at Chronos24. It is the best I can do due to Chrono24 webpage upload restrictions.
It is impossible to appreciate the beauty of this watch in pictures. It is like comparing a VHS recording with a 4k video in an amoled display. When you see the watch in person, you can clearly see why the watch is worth this money.
Thank you for your time.Seiko Presage 1881 Limited Edition Snow Flake
