Model: Seiko “110th Anniversary" Revival SCVL002 / 6180-8000

Year: 1991

Features:

The Origin. Upon its release in 1969, Seiko’s 68 calibre was one of the world’s thinnest mechanical movements. At just 1.98mm, it is still the thinnest calibre ever made by Seiko. But despites its modern popularity, Seiko discontinued it in the late 1970s. The SCVL002 on offer today was Seiko’s first ultra-thin calibre revival. 

The Revival. Launched in 1991, as part of Seiko’s 110th anniversary celebration, the SCVL002 featured the 6810 calibre. While it is same thickness (perhaps “thinness” is more warranted) as a modern 68 calibre, it undeniably lacks some of their beauty and charm -but its simplicity is easy to forgive. It walked so that Credor could run just a few years later with their own take on the 68.

The Design. The white glossy dial and raised Roman numerals make the vintage nod very obvious - but further clarification is provided by the black striped hands. First spotted on various vintage Grand Seikos - like the 6246-9001 and 6145-8000 - the SCVL002 was one of Seiko's first modern watches to make use of them.

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.
