Model: Seiko Credor GCLH997 / 7R88-0AE0

Year: June 2007

Features:

The Design. The six o’clock date window and power reserve indicator (PRI) are seamlessly integrated into the design. The ivory-coloured dial features two layers of concentric circles, with the PRI forming a smaller sub-circle that mirrors the layered design. Rather than appearing as a complication related afterthought, the PRI enhances the watch's look, complementing the overall layout. The 24/7 hour markers flanking the six o’clock date window create a sense of cohesion, ensuring the date window fits harmoniously on the dial.

The Spring Drive. The tactile ritual of winding a watch is hard to explain to those who haven’t experienced it - it’s almost meditative. Rolling the crown between my fingers in the early morning, as I wait for my espresso machine to warm up, becomes a cherished part of my daily routine. With the 7R88 Spring Drive, removing the automatic rotor not only enhances the manual-winding experience but also ensures that the beauty of the movement isn’t obscured.

The Dimensions. The absence of the rotor also trims down the case thickness, giving this Spring Drive a more traditionally dressy profile. At just 9mm thick, it’s slimmer than any Grand Seiko Spring Drive on the market by an entire millimetre. You’re welcome to fight me in the comments if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly confident the thinnest Spring Drive GS is 10.2mm - models like the SBGY Omiwatari.

The Fit. Its slim dimensions and brushed oyster-style bracelet make it an absolute delight to wear. Winding the crown and watching the power reserve indicator rise is deeply satisfying. The heat-blued second hand comes to life, and as it glides around the ivory dial, its underside creates a perfectly mirrored reflection on the oversized Zaratsu-polished 2, 4, and 7 markers - something you’ll never tire of.

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.
