Model: Seiko SCVE041

Year: 2016

Features:

Collaboration. In 2016 Seiko collaborated with Nano Universe, a contemporary Japanese fashion brand (what might be called “Streetwear” in the West), to make California “stealth” watches. Only 500 were made so they’re not particularly well known outside of Japan.

The Dial. A California dial is traditionally split in half, with the top half of the dial’s markers being Roman numerals and the bottom half being Arabic numbers. Originally known as a “High Visibility” dial it was said to make it easier for pilots to read in low light conditions. Unfortunately, I can’t explain why this watch has a vertical California split, and If I’m being totally honest, I also can’t explain why a traditional California dial is easier to read than a normal dial in low lighting! Either way, it’s a unique looking dial.

Condition: In great condition. No noticeable or significant marks anywhere on the watch. The Nato strap is wearable but old and slightly frayed. 

Scope: Full original box and papers. 

Movement: 4R35 Automatic, with a tinted black Exhibition case back. Not something I've seen from Seiko other than the 1970s Sonars.

Dimensions:

  • Case Width: 42.0mm
  • Case Thickness: 11.6mm

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.
