SEIKO PRESAGE SSA349J SSA349 Japan 4R57

The Seiko Presage SSA349J is a modern watch, which could be easily called a casual timepiece. It has a certain mix of sportiness and elegance, something quite indefinable but which creates a watch wearable in all situation. Yes, it could almost be a sports watch, with its 42mm stainless steel case, the combination of brushed and polished surfaces (perfectly executed by the way, with clear distinction between the surfaces and sharp angles), a stainless steel bracelet, with 21mm width, and finally a 100m water resistance, which can set it into the sports category. However, there’s another side in this watch, more discreet, more refined, as exposed in its silver dial, its hands or its display. That’s why we call it a casual watch: a watch you can were everyday, with every outfit, in every situation, at work, on the beach, at a barbecue or simply on a Sunday afternoon next to the fire.

It has a see-through case back that allows to have a view on the calibre 4R57.  The 4R57 is a well known movement, based on the 4Rxx series. Reliable, precise, in-house manufactured.  It comprises 29 jewels and beats at 3Hz / 21,600vph. It boasts 41 hours of power reserve.
