The watch is equipped with a Gradation Island Blue dial that will call to mind the sea and pays homage to the Greek Ionian islands themselves with their blue waters and white sand beaches. The stainless steel timepiece is paired with a matching bracelet and contrasted with a [navy blue bezel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seiko-presage-craftsmanship-classic-series) that will bring out a sense of visual intrigue for wearers to admire.
