Featured products scheduled to be released in May 2026 in the Seiko Selection S seriesHFE004Jwill be added.
Previous S series (HFE001J to 003J) used stainless steel metal bands, but HFE004J chose a cowhide leather band. Furthermore, the case is plated with gold, and the combination of the leather strap and gold creates a ``classical, warm elegance'' that is the most distinctive feature of this model.
Weighing approximately 28g, it is even lighter than the metal band model. The compact case measures 34.6mm long x 28mm wide and rests on a cowhide leather band, giving it a soft presence that fits your wrist from the moment you put it on. The practicality of the S series, which supports 4 solar radio stations, remains the same, but new options have been added to the design.
Gold plating x cowhide leather - an elegant leather addition to the S series.
Weighing about 28g, it sits comfortably on your wrist—the leather band adds warmth to your outfit.
The simple face of the S series—the gold plating catches the light and shines elegantly.
Cowhide leather band x one-push three-fold buckle - the S series's attention to detail is in the details.

■ “The new face of the S series”: gold and leather
All three models, HFE001J (white x pink ring), HFE002J (white), and HFE003J (black x crystal), used stainless steel metal bands. What HFE004J brings to this is the combination of a cowhide leather band and gold plating.
The compatibility of gold and leather is a well-established combination in the world of classic watches, and it has a warmth and class that cannot be achieved with silver metal. The combination of gold and leather on the S series's simple and timeless face creates a "dressy elegance" that is completely different from the other three models. This is the most elegant model in the S series, and can be used comfortably in formal situations.
■ "Lightness unique to leather bands" of approximately 28g
The weight of HFE004J is approximately 28g. There is a difference of 21g compared to the stainless metal band model, which weighs approximately 49g, and it feels noticeably lighter. Cowhide leather bands are not only lighter than metal, but also have the flexibility to naturally conform to the curves of your wrist, making them less tiring even when worn for long periods of time.
The compatible range of arm circumference ~ 18 cm covers a wide range from narrow to standard wrists. Combined with the one-push tri-fold clasp for safe putting on and taking off, it is designed to be easily incorporated into your daily routine.
■ The unchanging ability of 4-station solar radio waves
The 4-station solar radio wave of Cal.1B22 is a powerful movement common to HFE001J-003J. Automatically receives standard radio waves from Japan, China, America, and Germany and always maintains accurate time. It has a long-life design that lasts about 6 months when fully charged and about 1.5 years when power save is activated, so you can continue to use it every day without the hassle of replacing batteries.
The fully automatic calendar (compatible until 2099), time difference correction, automatic hand position correction, and other fully functional configurations show that there is no compromise in terms of practicality. ``Even though the design is elegant, the usability is at the highest level'' - that is the consistent concept of the S series.

■ Buyer's comment
HFE004J is the one that makes you think, "I wanted a model like this in the S series." The combination of gold plating and cowhide leather has a completely different atmosphere from the metal band model, and goes perfectly with formal occasions and neat outfits. The light weight of 28g is quite impressive, and your wrist won't get tired even if you wear it all day. The high practicality of solar radio waves is a common strength of the S series, and we can confidently recommend it as a gift.
