[WTS] Seiko SPB093 From Seiko’s Craftsmanship Collection. Arita Porcelain with Sunken Subdials.
# Reference: **Model:** Seiko “Arita Porcelain” SPB093 **Year Produced:** June 2019 **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/X1VnmPK](https://imgur.com/a/X1VnmPK) **Album:** [https://imgur.com/a/eWr8Paw](https://imgur.com/a/eWr8Paw) # Features: **The Collection.** In my opinion, everyone should consider going out of their way to get at least one piece from Seiko’s Craftsmanship series. The collection was put together to honour the best of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and you will never have felt so spoiled for choice as you try to determine where your allegiance lies between Arita Porcelain, Enamel, Urushi Lacquer, and Shippo Enamel. Of course, the best solution (not from an economic standpoint) is to simply buy one of each. **The Dial.** Arita porcelain has a slight bluish hue to it. Subtle, but noticeable - it’s the primary difference between Arita and normal porcelain. The craftsmanship speaks for itself. The painted numerals, though only subtly raised, cast tiny shadows that add thickness and depth. Meanwhile, the raw edges of the blue hands glow with an almost neon hue in the right light. **The Hands.** Everyone seems to describe them as being "heat-blued", but I don’t think that’s right. Under macro you’ll see soft and uneven rounded edges – not the sharp lines you’d expect to see in heated steel. Their neon glow looks a lot like the surface of shippo enamel, and I’m willing to bet these are hand-glazed with enamel paint and then heat treated. **The Movement.** Inside is a 6R27, which is a hi-beat upgrade to the more standard Presage 6R15 movement. With 28,888 bph, 29 jewels, and the circular day complication with power reserve. # Details: **Condition**: In great condition overall. Any markings are small and very hard to notice.
