Powered by Seiko's 6R automatic caliber, the 6R21 operates at 28,800 BPH (4 Hertzs) with hacking and hand winding capabilities. It has 29 jewels with a power reserve of 45 hours through a Spron 510 mainspring.

We call this a gentlemen's sports watch given the fact that this watch is so versatile. It can be worn casually as an everyday watch or to a formal dinner with a tuxedo and still look sharp. Part of the Presage lineup of dress watches, means that Seiko did not cut corners when it comes to built quality and case finishing like the Baby GS collection. Unlike regular dress watches, the SARW021 actually has a little weight to it giving it a nice wrist presence. The SARW021 is fitted in a modest 40.8mm case with a slim profile of 12.7mm. The stainless steel case is treated with Seiko’s DiaShield coating on the case and bracelet. This provide scratch-protection and extra corrosion resistance.

Beautiful case with internal rotating bezel

The main highlight of the Presage Automatic Day/Date PR Ref. SARW021 is probably on the dial. The white creamy dial coupled with polished applied indexes is intricate is probably the highlight. The dial has a toning to it giving it a mother of pearl effect that is similar to the Baby GS SARX033. Along with another detail worth mentioning, are the deep blue dauphine hands. The main difference from the Baby GS is the different layers used, the dial looks surprisingly 3-dimensional, where the day/date subdials and power reserve indicator are deep set into the dial. Yet again demonstrating the level of fine finishing put into this presage model. And to top it all, the sapphire crystal treated with a super-clear coating that makes the crystal disappear and make time reading easily in any lighting conditions. One can easily spend hours looking at the watch to admire the intricate details that Seiko has put into this excellent watch.
