Seiko has announced four brand-new Presage Classic Series models inspired by “the art of silk”. The HCC001J, HCC002J, HCC003J, and HCC008 (sold in Japan as HCC010J) are all set for a July 2026 release and will be exclusive to Seiko Global Brand Core Shops. Each timepiece draws heavily from traditional Japanese textile arts to give watch fans a distinct look.
Inspired Dial Designs
The dial designs across the three core models each derive inspiration from a specific aspect of Japanese silk culture. The HCC001J “Shironeri” gets a white dial inspired by refined silk threads, the HCC002J goes with a pale bamboo green as a reference to the dye colors traditionally used in kimonos, and the HCC003J has a soft pink dial inspired by cherry blossoms. The fourth model, the HCC008, takes things a little further with a rose gold-tone case, markers, and hands paired with a white dial — and is limited to 2,000 pieces globally, with 500 reserved for Japan alone. Many collectors will likely try to secure one before they sell out.
Shared Case and Movement Specs
All four share the same case dimensions — 38.0 mm diameter, 12.9 mm thick, 43.8 mm lug-to-lug — in stainless steel with a Diashield coating. They run on the 6R51 caliber, an automatic with manual winding, a 72-hour power reserve, 24 jewels, and accuracy rated at +25/-15 seconds per day. The crystal is dual-curved sapphire with an inner anti-reflective coating, and the case back is a see-through screw type. Water resistance is 10 bar. This movement is known for being reliable and robust in daily use.
Bracelet, Strap, and Weight Differences
The HCC001J and HCC002J come on stainless steel bracelets with a push-button double-fold clasp, and weigh 135 g. The HCC003J is on a dark brown leather strap with a push-button three-fold clasp, weighing 78g. Pricing is ¥132,000 for the HCC001J and HCC002J, and ¥129,800 for the HCC003J. Pricing for the HCC008 hasn’t been listed yet. The leather strap version feels alot lighter on the wrist, making it a good choice for those who prefer a subtler presence.
Limited Edition Details and Availability
Each model offers a distinct take on the Presage design language, with the HCC008 being the standout due to its rose gold tone and limited production run. Seiko has not yet confirmed pricing for this variant, but expect it to be a bit higher then the standard models. They will be sold exclusively through Seiko Global Brand Core Shops starting July 2026, so customers should contact their local retailer early to reserve a piece.
