Features:

Model: Seiko 7A28-7090

Year Produced: May 1983

The Dial: Three subdials, all differently styled, with the 30-minute chrono-timer being the standout attraction; royal blues with a complimentary yellow minute hand. The 3 o’clock subdial is a 1/10th of a second counter, and the 6 o’clock subdial is the live second hand. 

The Case: This stands alone as the only vintage-y “field” watch style case in the 7A28 line up. Bead-blasted stainless steel, like the Ripley, but with curved matchstick lugs. Combined with the huge chrono-pushers, you end with a very unique looking watch!

The Movement: Inside is a 7A28, famous for not only being the world’s first analogue chronograph movement, but also being used in some of Seiko’s best known quartz offerings: the Ripley, the RAF, the Bond, the Steering Wheel, and the Bishop to name a few. Honestly, the most impressive thing about this 40+ year old watch is how perfectly it functions. While editing the video for this watch, at 60fps, I was delighted to see that the chronograph main-hand, the 1/10th subdial, and the 30-minute subdial all move together on the same frame. Maybe we're easily impressed, but we thought it was cool Seiko that nailed the coordinated accuracy on the first iteration. 

The Condition: It’s in great condition overall. Everything is functions correctly and smoothly, as it was recently serviced. The crystal is the original shape but has been upgraded to sapphire and is flawless. The bead-blasted case has a few minor markings. The case back has lots of hairline scratches. The strap is not original.

Scope: No box or papers.

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.
