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.

  • Case Width: 39.5mm
  • Case Thickness: 12.2mm
  • Lug Width: 20.0mm

Delivered in a beautiful custom stamped (Provenance Watches) leather travel case. Makes for a perfect gift.

    FAQs

    Are your watches authentic?

    Everything we sell is 100% authentic.

    All of our watches are inspected and verified for authenticity - both inside and out. We have over 15 years of sourcing and collecting rare watches in Japan, which is often considered to be one of the best markets for authentic and fully original vintage watches.

    Do you ship globally?

    We are based in Japan and regularly ship all over the world. We typically use FedEx and it takes:

    • 3-7 business days to reach North America
    • 3-7 business days to reach Europe
    • 3-7 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

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

    What condition are your watches?

    Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of the watches we typically sell, the condition varies from watch to watch. However, our photos are high resolution and our descriptions are accurate. You can buy with confidence knowing there won't be any nasty surprises.

    If the condition of a watch is ever misrepresented, we would offer a full refund.

    Are all of your watches serviced?

    Most but not all of our watches are serviced. The "Condition" section of each watch will confirm if the watch has been serviced.

    All of our watches are tested by an independent watchmaker - if a service is needed, the watch will be serviced. If a service hasn't been conducted, it's because the watch itself is too new to need a service, or there is evidence of a recent service.

    What payment methods do you accept?

    We accept payment by all major Credit Cards and Wise.com

    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 or new), and the import 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?

    Our serviced watches are typically tested to their original water resistant specifications, but we would never recommend pushing vintage or neo-vintage watches to their depth limits.

    What is your returns policy?

    Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of most of our watches, we do not offer returns under normal circumstances. All sales should be considered final.
