Model: Credor “Carbon Fibre” GCBK997 / 6S77-0A10 Pacific

Year: January 2000 (Limited Edition 473/2000)

Features:

The Design. Released in 2000, it’s one of Credor’s earliest chronographs - from a time when its dressy reputation was set aside in favour of something more sporty. Just one look at the distinctive dial and surely you agree that the inspiration for this watch must have been Motorsport. A carbon fibre dial with orange accents - Bugatti Chiron, anyone?

The Chronograph. The sunken sub-dials add a huge amount of depth to an already eye-catching dial, and the lumed hands and indices ensure maximum clarity in any lighting. A date complication, 12-hour chronograph with 30-minute counter, power reserve, and small seconds - it’s not a dial for the faint-hearted, and Credor isn’t afraid of extending that theme to the exterior of the watch.

The Case. The case features a beaded bezel edge, not something I’ve seen on any other Seiko or Credor collection. It’s slightly jarring at first, but you’ll quickly grow to love how the polished beads contrast against the brushed bezel. That mix of polishing and brushing continues throughout the case, all the way down the incredibly comfortable integrated bracelet and flared guards. 

The Movement. Credor's famous 6S Chronograph calibre movement has been decorated gold as part of the Limited Edition design, and you’ll no doubt enjoy engaging its various features while looking through the exhibition caseback.

The Value. Love it or hate it, this is undoubtedly one of Credor’s most ambitious designs - packed with unique touches and spectacular finishing, all helping to justify its $3,900 retail price (not adjusted for inflation). It makes for an excellent neo-vintage value proposition for anyone after a bold chronograph.

The Bracelet. Integrated and incredibly comfortable, with a push-button butterfly clasp.

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.
