The Design. To keep the focus on the dial, the SARX061's overall design is beautifully simple. The Roman numeral markers are painted with 10 layers of paint, giving them a noticeable height against the glossy porcelain surface.
The Collection. Everyone reading this should go out of their way to get at least one piece from Seiko’s Master Craftsmanship series. The collection was put together to honour the best of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and you will never have felt so spoiled for choice as you try to determine where your allegiance lies between Arita Porcelain, Enamel, Urushi Lacquer, and Shippo Enamel. Of course, the best solution (not from an economical standpoint) is to simply buy one of each.
The Dial. Arita porcelain has a slight bluish hue to it. Subtle, but noticeable - it’s the primary difference between Arita and normal porcelain. The craftsmanship speaks for itself. The painted numerals, though only subtly raised, cast tiny shadows that add thickness and depth. Meanwhile, the raw edges of the blue hands glow with an almost neon hue in the right light.
The Movement. Inside is a 6R35, which is a power reserve upgrade to the more standard Presage 6R15 movement. It has a 70-hour power reserve and 29 jewels.

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.
