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.

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.
