Seiko SARX075 Presage; Sharp Edge
Seiko SARX075 Presage; Sharp Edge
Model: SARX075
Year: 2020
Features:
The Dial. Seiko released a small series of Asanoha, or hemp leaf, patterned watch dials in 2020. They were very in demand at the time and sold out quickly. The reason for their popularity could certainly be linked to the Asanoha pattern, which historically has been used in Japanese textiles to symbolise strong growth and good health. As the pattern is not simply a print but is fully textured instead, the dial plays brilliantly in the light. Seiko describes the colour of this dial as “Shironeri” which references the pure silk white colour of Japanese wedding dresses, something they use in some of their Grand Seiko marketing, which brings me onto the case…
The Case. I don’t want to be seen as overly praising the case, but it does feel like a Grand Seiko lite™. It’s sharp, it’s clean and it shines. Stainless steel with well-cut angles. 100m of water resistance. Also features an exhibition case back.
The Strap. Deployant clasp, full sized with all of the original links included. Incredibly comfortable. The most impressed I’ve been by a bracelet at this price point!
The Crystal. Double domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating – a nice upgrade from the hardlex crystals often found on Presages.
Condition: Unworn and basically immaculate. No scratches on the crystal or exhibition case back. The only case markings I can see are barely visible (I needed a torch to spot them). Photos represent the watch’s condition fairly.
Scope: Original boxes, original manual, original price tags.
Movement: All running smoothly. 6R35 Automatic Movement, 21,600 bph, with a monstrous (and dare I say Grand Seiko lite™) 70 power reserve

Do I have to pay customs or taxes?
It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to; the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage, new, or modified), and the import and tax laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.
Are your watches water resistant?
All of our watch mods are tested by our own pressure depth testing equipment, and are guaranteed to resistant water up to 50m of depth. Seiko Originals have varied levels of depth resistance, which will be stated in the description of each watch.
Can I modify an existing design?
We welcome all ideas! Get in touch via the Contact Us page and we can let you know the possibility and cost of any potential alterations.
What is your returns policy?
Due to the hand-made nature of the Seiko Mods, we offer a 7 day returns period after the watch has been received. The returner must bear the cost of the returns, and the watch must be returned in the same condition as it arrived. We do not offer returns on any bespoke or custom-made watches.
Due to the vintage nature of the Seiko Originals, returns are considered on a case-by-case basis, as vintage items typically have a no returns policy.
