What sets the SPB499 apart is its dial: a jet-black surface crafted using traditional Urushi lacquer, a painstaking technique involving layers of natural resin and repeated polishing. The result is a deep, glossy finish that’s nearly impossible to replicate with synthetic methods. The dial also features gold Roman numerals and a railroad minute track, along with grained gold leaf hands and a 24-hour sub-dial at 6 o’clock. The entire layout draws inspiration from Seiko’s vintage “Timekeeper” pocket watch, grounding it in historical context.
