Baselworld 2019 / Seiko Seiko Presage Prestige Line Arita Porcelain Dial Model SARW049

　Presage has been actively introducing models that use traditional Japanese crafts such as cloisonné, enamel, and lacquerware on the dials. For their 2019 new release, they chose Arita ware. Because Arita ware is porcelain, if used as a dial, there is a risk of it cracking if subjected to a strong impact, such as when dropped. Therefore, a new material was developed for this model, making it more than four times stronger than conventional Arita ware. However, because the dials for this model are produced by Shingama, a long-established pottery company with over 180 years of history, the smooth texture unique to Arita ware and the pale bluish white of the glaze are faithfully reproduced.
