Features:

Model: Seiko Credor 7771-5040

Year Produced: May 1994

The History: A unique retirement gift from Kansai Power Company in Japan. Initially, I was puzzled as to why a company would present a His & Hers pair to a retiring employee - why not just give a singular watch? So I asked a Japanese friend to help explain the nuance. He told me that, in the '80s and '90s, it wasn’t uncommon for companies to give retirement gifts to both the employee and their spouse. The idea being that the spouse has patiently “shared” their partner with the company for all those years!

The Box and Papers: The original box. The Credor logo inside has been replaced with Kansai’s own, and it’s accompanied by small text in the corner that reads: “Retirement Commemoration from Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc.”

The Style: This 1994 Credor pair are vintage stainless steel, ultra-thin dress watches with applied baton indices and a contrasting XII at the 12 o'clock position. Measuring a little over 4.0mm thick and paired with an integrated woven mesh bracelet, this watch is designed to slip effortlessly under any cuff. It has the hallmark vintage Credor style of a perfect sunburst dial, and onyx crown.

The Condition: Both watches are in unworn, near-mint condition

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.
