Seiko Presage SARX081

This limited-edition Seiko Presage looks back to the chronograph Seiko presented at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. The blue sunray dial and matching bezel echo the clean lines of that earlier watch, while a date display and luminous hands and markers make this a practical modern interpretation rather than a strict replica.

Inside is a 24-jewel automatic movement that can also be wound by hand and offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The stainless-steel watch has sapphire crystal with an inner anti-reflective coating, a folding bracelet clasp and 100-meter water resistance. Each watch carries its limited-edition serial number on the caseback.

Our Take

We like that the Olympic connection is expressed through the watch's shape and blue-on-blue design, not a large commemorative logo. It's an understated way to wear a piece of Seiko's timing history.
