SEIKO PRESAGE HCC004J1 CLASSIC 145TH ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION MEN WATCH

Seiko Presage HCC004J1 — Classic Series 145th Anniversary Limited Edition

The Seiko Presage HCC004J1 is Seiko's 145th Anniversary limited edition in the Presage Classic Series — 2,500 pieces worldwide, released June 2026 to mark one hundred and forty-five years since Kintaro Hattori founded his clock and watch shop in Ginza. The HCC004J1 takes the Presage Classic Series format — the 36mm dress watch with dual-curved sapphire crystal and mechanical in-house movement — and elevates it with materials and design choices that the standard Classic Series does not carry: a "shironeri" white dial with a radial silk-texture pattern, Seiko Blue accents, a deep navy cow leather strap from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries, a super-hard coated stainless steel case, and an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface of the crystal. The result is a 36mm dress watch that connects the anniversary occasion to the visual language and material values that Presage was built to carry.

Powered by the 6R51 automatic calibre with manual winding, stop seconds, and a 72-hour power reserve at +25/-15 seconds per day, the HCC004J1 delivers dependable in-house mechanical performance in a specification that includes magnetic resistance to 4,800 A/m — an unusual feature for a dress watch at this scale. The see-through caseback reveals the 6R51 movement and carries the "LIMITED EDITION" inscription. The deep navy strap is produced from leather sourced from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries, reflecting Seiko's commitment to sustainable material sourcing. At 36mm and 12.5mm with a 41.4mm lug-to-lug, this wears with the compact, refined character that makes the Presage Classic Series the most formally versatile watch format in the City Chain Seiko range.

Why You'll Love It

The HCC004J1 is the Presage Classic Series for the collector who wants the 145th Anniversary occasion marked in the format that Presage does best — a 36mm dress watch where the dial tells the story. The shironeri white with silk-texture radial pattern is the most materially and conceptually resolved Presage Classic dial produced to date: it connects to a specific Japanese cultural reference (shironeri, the traditional white associated with purity and new beginnings), carries Seiko Blue as an anniversary accent, and achieves a depth and texture that the standard Classic Series dials — clean as they are — do not approach. The 6R51 calibre adds stop seconds and magnetic resistance beyond the 6R55 of the standard range, the LWG-certified navy leather strap is a material upgrade in both quality and ethics, and the super-hard coating and AR crystal inner surface are meaningful finishing additions at this price. At 2,500 pieces worldwide, it is collectible without being unreachable.

About Seiko Presage Classic Series

The Presage Classic Series represents Seiko Presage at its most formally focused — the expression of Japanese mechanical watchmaking in its most universally legible and enduring format. The 36mm case, dual-curved sapphire crystal, and in-house automatic movement are the constants; the dial is where Presage applies its craft. The HCC004J1 applies the highest level of dial craft the Classic Series has yet seen to an anniversary occasion that warrants exactly that treatment.

The Seiko Presage Story

The story begins in 1881, when Kintaro Hattori founded a clock and watch shop in Ginza, Tokyo — the business that would become the Seiko of today. Seiko Presage was created to carry Seiko's finest Japanese craft traditions into the watch dial: enamel, urushi lacquer, arita porcelain, and — in the HCC004J1 — the silk-texture radial pattern and shironeri white that speak directly to the Japanese craft heritage that defines the Presage line. One hundred and forty-five years from that founding, the HCC004J1 is the Presage that carries that story forward in the most considered and collectible limited edition expression the Classic Series has produced.
