Powering the GMT function is the Calibre 6R64 automatic winding movement, a GMT movement that has been around for several years but one that only recently been revealed within the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged series. A date complication can also be found in the subsidiary dial at 3 o’clock and a power reserve indicator is placed at 9 o’clock. At the centre, a large blue GMT hand provides another time zone and pairs perfectly with the central running seconds hand also decorated in blue. On the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged GMT Limited Edition, the bezel is kept fixed, adorned in a bright blue colourway and decorated with a white 24 hour scale to deliver an additional time zone. The dial continues the sharp trend with pointed sword-shaped hands coated in lume and faceted applied indexes finished in a mix of matte and polished surfaces.ĭressed in white, the dial follows suit to the other Seiko 140 th Anniversary watches in the collection, all of which are decorated in a crisp white dial with blue accents and a blue bezel. The imagery on the dial is further bought to life by a choice of elegant blue accents and sharp geometric patterns which create subtle light play with every movement of the wrist. The Asanoha leaf has been used since the Heian period over a thousand years ago and holds a special importance in Japanese culture for its associations with strong growth and good health. Like the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged watches before it, the new GMT 140th Anniversary watch under reference SPB223 features a striking textured dial detailed with a pattern known as the Japanese Asanoha or hemp leaf. This very aesthetic is restored again in the new Seiko Presage Sharp Edged 140th Anniversary Limited Edition.
