The Presage Collection blends precision technology with superior craftsmanship and design, offering the finest in Japanese mechanical watchmaking with a uniquely Japanese sense of beauty.

In a special blue to match the color of Nausicaä’s dress, the enamel dial is also adorned with her unique symbol adornment. Another character, the giant insect Ohmu, is represented by a silhouette on the underside of the strap, with the blue cabochon crown recalling his eyes.
