Model: Seiko “Age of Discovery” 6M13-0010 Dancing Hands

Year: February 1996

Features:

The Collection. The 6M13-0010 is a classic part of Seiko’s 1990s “Dancing Hands” collection. Released to commemorate the 500th Anniversary of Christopher Columbus “discovering” the Americas. While the globe dial and a Santa Maria caseback give the 6M13 a unique look, the real star of the show are the Dancing Hands, and if anyone hasn’t had the pleasure of seeing them in action, please watch the short video above. 

The Hands. The three central hands double up to become six different pointers, based on the mode you’ve selected. The blue tips are used for time related complications, while the red tips are are used for the calendar functions.

The Calendar. The perpetual calendar displays Day, Date, Month, and the full four-digit year (in case you forget which century you’re in), and it even accounts for leap years. There’s also a search mode - if you to input the year, month and date, the watch will spit out the day. Is this feature crucial? Absolutely not, but it certainly adds to its charm. And because the watch can track dates from 1400 to 2400, the calculations actually switch from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar in 1582!

The Alarms. For its final trick, it has both a daily and fixed date alarm, allowing you to simultaneously set a daily alarm to wake you up, and a separate alarm to remind you about the 2pm work meeting next Tuesday.

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.
