Seiko Presage SPB167 Blue Dial

Seiko Presage SPB167 Watch Review

Seiko was first introduced in the year 1881, but they did not create their first watch until the year 1969, and ever since, Grand Seiko has become one of the most reputable watch brands on the market.

Seiko is known to produce styles that are unmatchable. They are appropriate for formal wear, but they also are great for athletes because they are some of the most durable watches on the market. Every new series released by Seiko is described as glamourous, elegant, and sophisticated; this is because the brand thrives on holding this image in every one of their creations.

Seiko Presage SPB167

Grand Seiko released four watches in their Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series, with each of them offering a different colored dial. The first watch released in this series was the Seiko Presage SPB167, also named Aitetsu because of the deep blue textured dial.

Appearance

The Seiko Presage SPB167 has a deep blue dial that contrasts stunningly with the stainless steel casing. The dial is designed to be the talking point of the watch, and this pattern of design can be seen in many Grand Seiko watches as the brand likes to keep the dial the center of attention. The blue dial has patterns that resemble the hemp leaf pattern, which holds great value in Japanese culture as it signifies strong growth and good health.

The watch is made with stainless steel with a hard coating on it, allowing it to be more durable and less prone to scratches. The stainless steel allows for the watch to remain rustproof. The case has a thickness of 1.11 mm, with a diameter of 39.3 mm, and the length of the watch is 47.2mm.

The watch has a see-through screw-back case made of sapphire crystal. Overall, there are 24 jewels present inside the watch. The watch's glass is also made of sapphire crystals with an anti-reflective treatment. With this anti-reflective treatment, the eyes feel less strain as the right amount of light reflects into the wearer's eyes. The watch has a metal strap made of stainless steel as well. The strap has a three-fold clasp that has a push-button function to release the watch.

The watch's hands and indexes have Lumibrite on them, which allows the hands to be visible even in the dark. This material is much brighter and lasts longer than the conventional luminous paints available on the market. The watch also has a date display function on it, visible next to the third-hour mark. This watch also has a stop-seconds hand function.

Movement

The Seiko Presage SPB167 uses the Caliber 6R35, making the watch automatic with a manual winding capacity. This watch has an accuracy of +25 to – 15 seconds every day. This means that if the watch is not kept under controlled conditions, the time can vary from 25 seconds to -15 seconds. The Seiko Presage SPB167 watch also has a frequency of 21600 vph, and it has a power reserve of up to 80 hours.

Water Resistance

The Seiko Presage SPB167 watch has a water resistance of 100 meters or 10 bars. This means that the watch can handle splashes of water and can even be worn in a pool. But it will get damaged if it is worn in waters that are deeper than 100 meters.

Conclusion

The Seiko Presage SPB167 is only one of the four stunning watches released in the Seiko Presage collection; there were other three watches released with it as well, available in white, rose gold, and green colors. All the watches have similar properties to the Seiko Presage SPB167 but are different in dial color and strap choice.
