Seiko has unveiled the Presage Classic Series “Shiro‑neri” Limited Edition as part of its ongoing 145th Anniversary celebrations, joining recent commemorative releases such as the Prospex Samurai Diver’s Watch Silverstone Limited Edition and the Astron GPS Solar Dual‑Time Chronograph.
Limited to 2,500 pieces worldwide, the “Shiro‑neri” reflects Seiko’s dedication to refined Japanese design and traditional watchmaking expertise. Inspired by silk‑dyeing techniques, the dial presents a pure white tone beneath dual‑curved sapphire glass, complemented by softly curved hands and applied indices that create subtle depth and light play.
The watch’s mirror‑finished case with super‑hard coating ensures durability while maintaining a sleek, timeless profile, paired with a navy leather strap that adds refined contrast. Powered by Seiko’s in‑house 6R51 calibre, the “Shiro‑neri” delivers accuracy of ‑15/+25 seconds per day and a robust 72‑hour power reserve, balancing mechanical reliability with understated elegance. This combination of artisanal dial work and technical precision underscores Seiko’s ability to merge heritage craftsmanship with modern watchmaking innovation.
Available to pre‑order now via the Seiko Boutique webstore, the “Shiro‑neri” is priced at £900 GBP (approx. $1,140 USD) with deliveries beginning in June.
