The Presage Style 60s, one of Seiko’s most underappreciated timepieces, has just received a colorful refresh with three new additions to the family: Golden Yellow, Silvery Violet, and Ice Green.
While Seiko’s vast catalog can be overwhelming even for watch enthusiasts, these new editions deserve special attention for bringing fresh energy to this vintage-inspired collection.
The most significant update comes in the dial department, where Seiko has implemented both new colors and enhanced finishing techniques.
Unlike the smooth sunray brushing found on previous models like the Retro Blue, these new dials feature pronounced horizontal brushing that creates a more textured appearance. Additional dimensionality comes from a redesigned ring beneath the hour scale, which now presents as a distinct groove.
Fresh Faces for an Underrated Classic
Despite these refinements, the dials maintain their classic layout inspired by Seiko’s 1960s chronograph heritage. The new color palette firmly establishes Seiko’s commitment to the growing pastel trend dominating 2025’s watchmaking landscape.
The Ice Green offers a pale mint hue that neighbors the popular sage green, while the Silvery Violet evokes nostalgic candy-like qualities. The Golden Yellow presents a more saturated interpretation of pastel yellow, resulting in a buttery tone that walks the line between subtle and statement-making.
Beyond the colorful dials, these watches maintain the Style 60s’ signature DNA, featuring a 39.5mm case design borrowed from the “Elegant Yet Rugged” edition. Long lugs flow seamlessly into either a steel bracelet (Silvery Violet and Ice Green models) or leather strap (Golden Yellow model). Unlike some variations in the collection, these editions retain the smooth insert bezel characteristic of the standard Style 60s line.
Pastel Perfection at an Accessible Price Point
Powering these timepieces is Seiko’s automatic calibre 4R45, offering a 40-hour power reserve. While this entry-level movement won’t impress technical purists, it helps maintain the collection’s accessibility—all three models are priced at an attractive £500. This positioning makes the Style 60s an excellent daily wear option, especially as some of Seiko’s other offerings have crept well beyond the £2000 threshold.
The Seiko Presage Style 60s Golden Yellow (SRPK91), Silvery Violet (SRPK93), and Ice Green (SRPK5) represent a welcome expansion of a thoughtfully designed collection that balances vintage inspiration with contemporary finishing and accessible pricing—proving once again that Seiko can deliver substantial value even at their entry-level price points.
