Seeking a Japanese dress watch that truly stands out?
The Seiko Presage SPB499 offers something rare—an urushi lacquer dial made entirely by hand in Japan.
Here’s what you need to know:
-
Each dial is handcrafted using traditional urushi lacquer techniques.
-
Urushi is a natural sap from the lacquer tree, used in Japanese craftsmanship for centuries.
-
The process involves multiple layers of lacquer, applied and polished by hand over several weeks.
-
As a result, no two dials are exactly the same.
What You Might Notice
-
Slight variations in dial color
-
Tiny surface marks or distortions
-
Subtle irregularities in shine or finish
Why That Matters to You
-
These details aren't flaws—they show the watch was made by a real artisan, not a machine.
-
Your SPB499 is unique. No one else has a dial quite like yours.
A Question Worth Asking
Would you prefer a machine-made finish that looks like every other watch, or a handmade dial that tells its own story?
