Summary

  • Seiko unveils the Presage Classic Series “Shiro‑neri” Limited Edition for its 145th Anniversary, inspired by silk‑dyeing traditions
  • Limited to 2,500 pieces, the watch is priced at around $1,140 USD and is available for pre-order now

To mark its 145th anniversary, Seiko has released a limited-edition Presage Classic Series watch called the “Shiro‑neri.” This new release joins other commemorative watches Seiko has created this year, including limited editions of the Prospex Samurai Diver’s Watch and the Astron GPS Solar Dual‑Time Chronograph.

Okay, so I just got my hands on the Seiko Shiro-neri, and wow, it’s special. They’re only making 2,500 of these worldwide, which already makes it cool. But what really got me is the design – it’s seriously inspired by traditional Japanese silk dyeing. The dial is this incredibly clean, pure white, and it looks amazing under the curved sapphire glass. The hands and markers are all subtly shaped to catch the light just right, giving it a really nice depth. It’s clear Seiko put a lot of care and craftsmanship into this one.

This watch features a durable, highly polished case designed for lasting style. It’s paired with a navy leather strap for a touch of sophisticated contrast. Inside, a Seiko 6R51 movement provides reliable accuracy – within -15 to +25 seconds per day – and an impressive 72-hour power reserve. This blend of detailed craftsmanship and precise engineering highlights Seiko’s commitment to both tradition and innovation in watchmaking.

You can now pre-order the “Shiro-neri” watch from the Seiko Boutique online store for £900 (about $1,140 USD). It will start shipping in June.
