The model comes equipped with a leather strap made entirely from surplus and offcut leather sourced from <a href=\"https:\/\/regal-shoe-and-co.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Regal<\/a>, a longstanding Japanese shoemaker. Only 3,000 individually numbered pieces are being released worldwide.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">As mentioned earlier, the defining feature is the use of upcycled Regal shoe leather for the strap, which is carefully selected and stitched to mimic high-end Japanese loafers. The lining within the strap matches the premium material found inside Regal\u2019s shoes. Beige decorative stitching is also added near the case.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The dial employs a gradient &#8220;Shiracha&#8221; brown, and it is a color that has been long-admired during the Edo period for its warm tone. Its soft transition resembles Japanese silk textures and is paired with gold-tone indexes and hands. The stainless steel case is finished in a rich brown tone, shaped with flowing curves, and features three-dimensional bezel detailing.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Technical specifications<\/p>\n<p>Movement: <a href=\"https:\/\/seikoluxe.com\/caliber-6r55-and-6r5j\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Seiko 6R55 automatic<\/a> with manual windingPower reserve: 72 hoursJewels: 24Case diameter: 40.2 mm; thickness: 13.0 mm; lug width: 20.0 mm; length: 46.0 mmCase: Stainless steel, round shapeDial: Brown, gradient Shiracha colorBand: Brown leather, upcycled, three-fold clasp with push-button releaseWater resistance: 10 barCrystal: Dual-curved sapphire with anti-reflective super-hard coatingFeatures: Day\/date display, stop-seconds hand function<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The Seiko Presage Classic Series Upcycled Leather Strap Limited Edition is priced at $1,050 (approximately EUR 1,120).
