Seiko Presage Shippo Enamel Limited Edition SPB073J1 / SARW039

This Seiko Presage Shippo Enamel Limited Edition reference SPB073J1 combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with Seiko’s reputation for precision watchmaking, offering one of the most stunning dials the company has ever created. The 40.6 mm stainless steel case houses a hand-fired Shippo enamel dial in a deep, translucent blue over a radial guilloché dial, achieved through a meticulous process that gives each piece unique depth and character. This example remains in excellent condition, unpolished, and is offered with its original dark blue alligator strap and Seiko deployant clasp. Included are the original box and papers, completing the set.

Introduced in 2018 as a limited edition of 2,500 pieces worldwide, the SPB073J1 features the automatic 6R27 movement, which features an unusually high (for Seiko) beat rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour, a power reserve indicator and a pointer date display. These practical functions are integrated seamlessly into the enamel dial, giving the watch an elegant and balanced look. The Presage Shippo models have become highly sought after for their limited production, artisanal dial work, and enduring design.

The watch is modeled on a 16cm (6.3 inch) wrist.
