The Occasion. The "Wedding Anniversary" Seiko 21-3210 was made in 1973 to celebrate Emperor Hirohito's upcoming 50th Wedding Anniversary. The watch is often simply referred to as 寿 in Japan, which means "Kotobuki" or Congratulations or Long life. 

The Meaning. "Kotobuki" is also the word for a Yōkai, a type of mythical Japanese creature creature, that is depicted as being a combination of all of the animals from the Chinese zodiac. As a result, the dial is adorned with two physical manifestations of the Kotobuki as a way to offer congratulations and a long life to the Emperor. 

The Theme. The 21-3210 comes in two colour options - gold and white gold. Both are plated in 18kt gold (Gold and White Gold, respectively). Designed as an elegant dress watch to be worn during celebrations for the Emperor's wedding anniversary, this square shaped manual wind vintage piece has a lot going on. Pay particularly close attention to the raised etchings of the two Kotobuki on the dial.

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?

What is your returns policy?

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.
