Model: Credor GCBK987 “Pacific Chronograph” 

Year: December 2003

Features:

The Origin. In 2009, Tag Heuer proudly unveiled the Calibre 1887, its first fully in-house movement. The watch world took note. This was a huge moment - not just for TAG but for all watchmakers. If a 6-9-12 automatic chronograph could be built fully in-house, in under three years, by a company that had never made its own movements before, surely there was hope for everyone?

The Controversy. But there was a problem. When TAG Heuer said it was "in-house," it turned out they weren’t actually talking about their house… they were talking about Seiko’s house. Awkward. To be clear, this wasn’t corporate espionage - TAG Heuer legally bought the movement designs from Seiko - but people felt they were trying to pull a fast one on their customers. 

The Movement. The Credor GCBK987 has the dubious honour of being powered by the Seiko 6S calibre - the same movement TAG Heuer tried to claim as its own. It features a 12-hour chronograph timer, as well as a power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock. 

The Theme. The design is an interesting mix of sunken subdials and raised numerals, and, true to its Pacific roots, the design pays homage to Japan’s maritime history. You might notice the subtle wave pattern in the centre of the dial, but the standout detail is the intricately crafted ship that proudly adorns the caseback.

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.
