A titanium cushion case housing a hi-beat GMT automatic watch from Seiko.

Model: SAGN007, 4S27-00B0 Seiko Brightz

Year: September 2004

Features:

The Complications. At the time, the 4S27 was one of the most complicated automatic movements Seiko made. As I discuss later on, this era of highly ambitious movements overlaps with the re-birth of Grand Seiko, so I suspect the Brightz line was a jumping off point for a lot of the amazing Grand Seiko specs that followed. It has a Hi-Beat 28800bph movement, with 50 hours of power reserve, retrograde day, circular date pointer, and a 24-hour sub-dial with an independently adjustable hour hand (GMT). It’s a huge amount of watch for the price.

The Dial. Black enamel, worked to Seiko’s incredibly high enamel standards with the beautiful sub-dial indentations we’ve come to expect from Seiko’s craftsmanship. It has an inky quality that sucks in all light.

JDM. Released in the early 2000s, and only in Japan, this watch was hard to track down at the time and even harder to find in good condition now. Often seen as a bit of “grail” watch, by many avid Seiko collectors. Temporally, the Brightz line overlapped the beginnings of Grand Seiko, and as a result they shared a lot of their finishing styles and high-end design points.

The Design. A rarely seen (outside of Patek) titanium cushion case, on a titanium bracelet (or leather strap – the watch came with both), making this a very comfortable and lightweight daily wearing watch.

Titanium Bracelet. The original bracelet – sized up to ~7 inches. The watch also comes with the original leather strap and Brightz buckle.

Condition: The crystal and dial are perfect. The case and bracelet are in very good shape, but there are some light visible scratches, as shown in the photographs. The exhibition case back is in good condition.

Scope: No box, manual or papers.

Movement: Automatic 28,800 bph with 28 jewels, 50-hour power reserve.

    FAQs

    • 4-12 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

    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.
