Seiko has cultivated its Presage collection as one that offers watches featuring dials decorated with artisanal techniques like Shippo enamel or Arita porcelain, but at extremely affordable prices. Now Seiko has just rolled out the first-ever Presage watches powered by the brand’s best-known innovation – the Spring Drive, an electronically regulated mechanical movement previously only found in Credor, Grand Seiko and Prospex watches.

he Archimede Outdoor Protect will not cost you a wheelbarrow full of cash and, while it’s not cheap ($890. on bracelet, $850. on rubber strap), it does offer surprising value. That's especially true when held against its case-hardened, Teutonic peers at Sinn and Damasko.

This feature was added as a revision to the earlier “Radomir”, with the intention of adding a crown protecting bridge that would prevent water from entering the case. This shape that these two elements formed […]

We have said it before and now we say it again: a new color can transform a watch. While another dial can be considered a subtle change, dressing the case of a watch in another color is definitely more than just subtle! But then again, the Tread 2 by Devon Works is not really about […]
