Model: Campanola “Grand Complication” AH4080-01L

Year: June 2019

Limited Edition: 300 Pieces

Features:

The Prestige. Limited to just 300 pieces. Only 13 watchmakers were deemed skilled enough to work on these hand-assembled Campanolas at Citizen’s Minami-Shinshu studio, and when you read through the list of complications, it easy to understand why. 

The Complications. It houses a Moonphase, Leap year, Perpetual Triple Calendar, 12-hour, split-time chronograph with sweeping second hand, 24-hour dial, GMT functionality, and Minute Repeater. Most of those functions won’t need any explanation, but a minute repeater deserves to be talked about.

The Minute Repeater. When activated, the minute repeater plays a chime that audibly conveys the current time, essentially acting as a musical Morse code for your wrist. Intriguingly, the chime’s time-setting can operate independently of the displayed time, allowing it to function as a GMT “hand.” 

The Craftsmanship. Yet beyond the technical bravado, it’s also beautifully composed. Both the dial and chapter ring are lacquered in a deep, alluring blue, though unlike many of Campanola’s more exuberant designs, there’s no titanium powder, gold, or mother-of-pearl suspended in the finish. This is from a brief era that saw Campanola flirt with subtly, and I’m all for it. The sleek lacquer finish still offers a lot visually, and it’s the first time Campanola extended lacquer to the chapter ring, which does a lot to complete the look. The decoration is said to represent the “endless void of the universe”.

      FAQs

      Do you ship globally?

      Absolutely - our watches are regularly shipped all over the world. Shipping typically takes:

      • 4-9 business days to reach North America
      • 4-12 business days to reach Europe
      • 4-12 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

      All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.

      Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

      It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to; the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage, new, or modified), and the import and tax laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

      Are your watches water resistant?

      All of our watch mods are tested by our own pressure depth testing equipment, and are guaranteed to resistant water up to 50m of depth. Seiko Originals have varied levels of depth resistance, which will be stated in the description of each watch.

      Can I modify an existing design?

      We welcome all ideas! Get in touch via the Contact Us page and we can let you know the possibility and cost of any potential alterations.

      What is your returns policy?

      Due to the hand-made nature of the Seiko Mods, we offer a 7 day returns period after the watch has been received. The returner must bear the cost of the returns, and the watch must be returned in the same condition as it arrived. We do not offer returns on any bespoke or custom-made watches.

      Due to the vintage nature of the Seiko Originals, returns are considered on a case-by-case basis, as vintage items typically have a no returns policy.
