How an automatic watch works
Your wrist gives it energy. A spring saves it. A tiny balance sets the rhythm. Follow the journey inside an automatic watch, one pencil drawing at a time.
Seiko · Présage
Ref. SRPE45J1
The Seiko Auto Presage takes a 20 mm strap: measure between the lugs and that is the only number you need. We list 37 straps in that width. A dress watch by proportion: a slim leather strap, plain or lightly stitched, keeps the line clean. With a 38.5 mm case and 50 m of water resistance, a strap of medium thickness keeps the balance. Automatic movement. Most straps here come with quick-release spring bars, so the swap takes a minute and no tool.
Width is a starting point. Check the case and end fittings before choosing.
