Unlike conventional painted or coated surfaces, Urushi develops its characteristic depth and gloss through the repeated application and polishing of natural Japanese lacquer. Against the rich black surface, the white Roman numerals and traditional Maki-E frosted gold accents create a distinctly traditional appearance, while the power reserve and pointer-date complications showcase the mechanical nature of the watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example has also just been serviced, with the 28,800 vph Caliber 6R27 running well and ready for regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SARW013 belongs to the earlier generation of Seiko Presage models that helped establish the collection's connection with traditional Japanese craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts dial was created using Urushi, a natural lacquer with a history in Japanese decorative arts stretching back thousands of years. Producing an Urushi watch dial requires multiple layers of lacquer to be individually applied, dried and polished, gradually building the deep, glossy black appearance for which the material is known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeiko's Urushi Presage dials from this period were produced under the supervision of lacquer craftsman Isshu Tamura, whose work helped establish Urushi as one of the signature traditional crafts subsequently associated with the Presage collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications and Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall: Excellent Condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase: Excellent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal: Clean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial: Clean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement: Just Serviced and Running Well\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBracelet\/Strap: Leather Strap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial: Genuine Japanese Urushi Lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeiko Caliber 6R27\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 40.5mm Case Diameter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 13mm Thickness\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JDM Horologist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50982475530483,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/4984\/1907\/files\/wts-urushi-dial-sarw013-serviced-v0-edxj6f4zr1w81.webp?v=1788703069","url":"https:\/\/jdmhorologist.net\/products\/seiko-sarw013-urushi-lacquer","provider":"JDM Horologist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
