The Seiko Presage HCB008J1 is a three-hand automatic from the Japanese Garden line, with a black dial, Roman numerals and a black leather strap. There is no date window — hours, minutes and seconds only, read through dual-curved sapphire crystal that bends with the dial on both surfaces.
It runs on calibre 4R71, wound by the movement of your wrist with hand winding available, holding approximately 41 hours once fully wound. The stainless steel case measures 41.8mm, and a see-through case back leaves the movement visible from behind.

Why You'll Love It
- Roman numerals on a black dial with no date window cut into them, so the numerals run unbroken the whole way round.
- Dual-curved sapphire crystal, shaped on both faces rather than flat, so the dial stays readable from an angle.
- A see-through case back, leaving calibre 4R71 visible working from the reverse.
- It winds itself from the motion of your wrist, and takes a hand wind when it has been sitting.
- Approximately 41 hours of running from a full wind.
Key Features
- Calibre 4R71 automatic movement — self-winding from the movement of the wearer, with hand winding available and a power reserve of approximately 41 hours.
- Black dial with Roman numerals — and no calendar aperture, so the numerals run uninterrupted around the dial.
- Dual-curved sapphire crystal — curved on both the upper and lower surfaces.
- See-through case back — leaving the movement visible from the reverse.
- 41.8mm stainless steel case on a black leather strap — water resistant to 30 metres, with a pull-out crown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it have a date window?
No. Seiko lists the calendar as not applicable for this reference, so the dial carries hours, minutes and seconds only. That is why the Roman numerals run unbroken around the dial, with no aperture cut into them.
How do I keep it running?
Wear it. Calibre 4R71 winds itself from the motion of your wrist, and a full wind holds approximately 41 hours. It can also be wound by hand, which is the quickest way to start it after it has been sitting. Left off the wrist for a couple of days it will stop — normal for a mechanical watch and no harm done. Wind it, reset the time and carry on.
Is the dial readable in the dark?
No. Seiko lists LumiBrite as not applicable for this reference, so neither the hands nor the numerals are luminous and the dial needs light to be read.
Can I wear it in water?
It is rated to 30 metres, which Seiko treats as everyday splash resistance rather than a swimming rating — rain and handwashing are within it, swimming is not. The leather strap is a second reason to keep it dry, since leather stiffens and marks once soaked.
What can I see through the case back?
The movement. The case back is see-through, so calibre 4R71 is visible from the reverse, including the rotor turning as the watch is worn.
Does an automatic watch need servicing?
Yes. A mechanical movement runs on lubricated moving parts that wear over years of use, so periodic servicing keeps it running to specification. Bring the watch to any City Chain store for servicing.
Can the strap be adjusted?
The strap is black leather. Strap adjustment is available in store — bring your warranty book along for the service.
