2024 Seiko Presage Style 60s 41mm Automatic SRPG03J1

Here we have a 2024 Seiko Presage Style 60s Automatic SRPG03J1 inspired by the Seiko 1964 first chronograph. With a 41mm polished stainless steel case that gently curves over your wrist with satin brushed tapered flat-ended drilled lugs, its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 47mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm, ensuring a comfortable fit. On the right side is a signed crown with deep knurling for grip. The stepped bezel has a black insert with a 60-minute scale in a gold tone, holding a box-shaped Hardlex crystal above a crisp white dial. An outer minute track is precisely executed, surrounding gold-toned double baton indexes marking the hours, at 3 o’clock, a gold-tone framed colour-matched date window, and elegant gold-framed Dauphine hands are complemented by a finely tapered sweeping second hand. At noon, we have the Seiko motif, and at 6 o’clock, ‘Presage Automatic’ completes this sophisticated vintage-inspired timepiece. On the reverse is a screw-down exhibition case back with the details of the watch around its edge, showcasing the automatic Seiko Cal. 4R35, 23 jewels, beating at 21,600 beats per hour with a skeletonised rotor. This workhorse movement, released in 2011, has hacking and hand winding for your convenience. It comes with a 20mm brushed stainless steel 3-link bracelet secured by a three-fold push-button released clasp, and the watch comes with its Seiko presentation box, swing tags and paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original Seiko box, swing tags and paperwork. It comes with a 20mm brushed stainless steel 3-link bracelet secured by a three-fold push-button released clasp. The watch is from October 2024 and is sold in worn condition, but overall very fair condition, as you can see from the photographs and comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

I am regularly asked what is a great watch to buy for your first watch or to gift to someone not yet into watches. Seiko will always be my recommendation, and this reference SRPG03J1 shows exactly why. The price is super competitive, the design is attractive and inoffensive, the build quality is great, it has an exhibition case back showcasing the automatic Seiko calibre 4R35, and it comes paired with a bracelet but can easily be swapped for a leather strap to completely transform the look of a watch. This would easily bring someone into this crazy watch hobby of ours, or if you are already in this crazy world, it will be a great addition to your collection for all the same reasons!

Seikos' history began in 1881 when Kintaro Hattori established the K. Hattori retail and repair store. In 1892, Seikosha was established to make wall clocks. 1895 saw the production of their first pocket watch. 1913 saw the launch of their first wristwatch, the Laurel. In 1924, the first Seiko was manufactured. Daini Seikosha (now Seiko Instruments Inc.) was established in 1937. Seiko was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1949. The Suwa factory became independent and formed Suwa Seikosha Co., Ltd. (now Seiko Epson Corporation in 1959). In 1956, Seiko launched Marvel as their first true in-house-made watch; they continued to make this watch until 1959. Japan’s first chronograph watch was introduced for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics; it was called the Seiko Crown Chronograph monopusher. Not stopping there, Seiko launched Japan's first true divers' watch, the Seiko Diver’s 150M, fitted with the automatic Calibre 621,7 which later was given the nickname “62MAS” by collectors. The company name was changed to the Seiko Corporation in 1990. Innovation at Seiko continues today with GPS Solar watches.
