The Beautifully Brown Seiko Presage SRPD36J1 and SSA392J1

The Beautifully Brown Seiko Presage SRPD36J1 and SSA392J1

There are myriad impressive things about Seiko's Presage collection. But, if we had to single out one overriding thing that the Japanese watchmaker's dress watches do better than almost anyone else, rather predictably, it would be their dials. Pound for pound, the Presage dress watches and their rapturous range of dials represent amazing value for money. It's not just the design that marks these dials out as instant winners either - it's the finishing, intricacy and attention to detail.

These two new examples, SRPD36J1 and SSA392J1, are no exception. The lustrous chocolate brown dials these watches possess are sumptuous, and as Deputy Editor Kenyon pointed out, they almost mimic that of a horse's radiant mane. Complimented by gold coloured hour indices and Seiko's signature dauphine handset, these Presages are downright handsome, especially when you take in to account the stainless steel cases with gold coloured finishing.

PRICES AND AVAILABILITY:

The Seiko Presage SRPD36J1 has a recommended retail of $995 AUD.
The Seiko Presage SSA392J1 has a recommended retail of $1,250AUD.
Both of these watches are currently available in boutiques across Australia.

I adore the dials of the cocktail time range, got an original SARB065 that inspired them and an SSA363J1 "Sakura Fubuki", they're just so pretty to look at I have to check the time twice cause I got distracted by the dial the first time.

Thank you for your excellent and informative videos. I fell in love with this watch and just purchased it new from a Japan seller. The current exchange rate brought the total price, tax, handling and shipping to USD $757.53. Kind regards and Best wishes Time+Tide Watches.

The most beautifull and luxury Seiko watch ever. Especially limited edition SSA392J1

One of the highlights of your videos was the price at the end. Why have you stopped giving out the recommended retail price ?

Seiko, for the love of Horology, put sapphire crystals on these watches.

[awat]

are the watch cases plated or is the watch cases made from a mix of alloy giving it the distinctive colour? if you polish for an instance will it fade?

Frederick Constant pre-owned offer some compelling competition,

[TLCHobbies]

I know the JDM version is SARY136. I've seem some listing as SSA392. What's the difference between the SSA392J1 and the SSA392?

[bengenebernardo]

Sapphire crystal would make this almost perfect.👍🏼

I loved the previous one way better, the Sakura

8000+8000 limited edition lol. Kind of a meme, but its a decent watch at a bargain.

I haven't seen this channel reviewing any Orient watches. I recently did a bit of research to buy a watch and found out that orient actually give better value for money than Seiko. Mainly for people with a tight budget.

When are Seiko going to fix the crown gap at position 0? Am I the only one annoyed by this?

[terry]

All these comments asking for a sapphire crystal wtf do you do with your watches use them to hammer in nails? I have a 16 year old sieko 5 that is absolutely battered to hell yet the crystal is unmarked.

How much of the watch uses parts made in the China? Most Seiko watches use Chinese-made parts.

ATTENTION à cette boucle déployante Seiko. Elle est TRES dangereuse. Elle prend TRES vite du jeu jusqu'au jour où la montre fini par tomber par terre. Ca m'est arrivé, la montre est tombé sur le carrelage et a été endommagée. C'est arrivé à un ami avec le même fermoir et il a eu la chance que la montre tombe sur un tapis.
La question n'est pas de savoir si la montre tombera. la question est de savoir quand elle tombera et où.
A changer sans attendre.
