Seiko présage Zen garden - SSA421J1

Presage Zen Garden: when blue enhances the silver Seiko watch.

The Seiko Presage Zen Garden SRPD41 has a dark blue dial with a specific texture that sparkles when exposed to sunlight. On this one, there are applied and beveled metal indexes. In the center, the design is brushed, which shows the attention to detail taken by the brand. In fact, it is the atypical design of the indexes that is the origin of the name “Zen Garden” of this watch. The hands are leaf-shaped and are painted white to provide a good contrast with the dial. The seconds hand, on the other hand, is made of polished metal and is not painted. At 3 o'clock there is a date window surrounded by a nice metal frame. Its black background allows it to blend in perfectly with the rest. The Presage Zen Garden is powered by the Seiko in-house automatic caliber 4R35. This is a sturdy movement that can continue to perform for years. The watch beats at a frequency of 3 Hz and has manual winding functions. These are two functions not found on Seiko's more affordable automatic watches.
