The Seiko Presage style 60s 'Elegant yet Rugged' Mens watch SRPL07J is an automatic movement watch full in Stainless Steel with a Navy Blue colour dial with a case size of 39.5mm, thickness of 12mm, a lug width of 20mm and a lug-to-lug size of 46.2mm and an approximate weight of 130gm in full stainless steel construction.
 
In the Sixties, style was characterised by an essence of elegance, paired with a robust, wearable flair. The ‘Elegant Yet Rugged’ Style 60s SRPL07J timepiece capture the retro aesthetic in dial colours based on the 1960s Japanese technical workwear. Muted in colour with robust fabrics designed to last, these outfits were worn by specialists, engineers and factory workers alike – from mechanics to production experts.
 
Enclosed in a compact 39.5mm case, the navy-coloured dial of the SRPL07J1 is a base for 60s-style indices, each with sharp multi-faceted surfaces for added light reflection. The bezels and lugs are mirror-finished for contrasting elegance. The bezel is engraved with arabic numerals for legibility. It has a multi-row five-link bracelet, with hairline and mirror finishing, to enhance the interplay with the light, and sparkle.
 
The SRPL07 features the Seiko calibre 4R35 that is both manual as well as a self winding automatic movement with a normal operating accuracy tolerance of +45 / -35 seconds per day and a power reserve of 41 hours. The watch features a box-shaped hardlex glass and a three-fold clasp with a push button release. Water resistance rating is 50m and additional features include an exhibition see-through case back and a date display.
 
What we love: Timeless looks, precisely Japanese mechanical timekeeping. Minimalistic watch designs with a distinctly Japanese aesthetic. Similar in look to the previous 60s style models from the same collection, the SRPL07J is a smaller case size. The beautiful dial with a shiny index is highlighted by the stainless steel of the bezel with laser engraving. The inner sides of the indices have cut surfaces to give a sparkling, elegant impression. The SRPL07 dial colour of navy blue is inspired by vintage work jackets from the 60s. All in all, not a model that will age with time and with Seikos legendary reliance, one that can be passed down.
