Features:

Model: Seiko 8M32-8000

Year Produced: October 1988

The Dial: Released in the late 1980s and it absolutely looks the part. A wonderful array of colours and patterns adorn the dial with such confidence that you almost assume the shape has some sort of meaning. It absolutely doesn’t, but you’ve got to admire the punchiness of this design choice. The various sports around the edge of the dial do have a meaning though - each one is positioned next to the minutes that signify one half or quarter of play in that respective sport.

The Movement: It’s a chronograph with just an hour and minute hand. “But a chronograph without a second hand to count the seconds is stupid…”, and luckily Seiko agrees! When you turn the crown to “Chronograph” mode the minute hand becomes a second hand, and the hour hand becomes a minute hand. Flick it back to “Time” mode and the hands effortlessly glide back into their respective temporal places. But perhaps the oddest mode is “Timer” mode; the pushers are used to set a timer between 1-60 minutes, and an alarm sounds at the end. Pretty straightforward. The odd part? The hands tick backwards. It’s a true countdown timer. This is essentially a digital watch with an analogue face (and a great looking analogue face at that).

The Condition: It has a few bumps, scratches and dings, but it in good overall condition. The most important condition to check is the operation of the movement – I’m pleased to confirm everything works, including the alarm noise!

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.
