Model: Seiko “Crescent Moon” Le Vent 1F20-5J60

Year: August 1990

Features:

The Design. The 1F20-5J60 was the first Seiko designed by a woman. Sayoko Yamaguchi, an internationally renowned Japanese model and actress, was commissioned by Seiko in the ‘90s to work on a collection specifically designed for women, by women. The resulting watches were released under the Le Vent brand, and the collection later featured contributions from other Japanese fashion icons like Minako Yokomori.

Gendered Watches. In recent years, the notion of a “man’s watch” or “woman’s watch” has begun to fade, with enthusiasts embracing great design regardless of the intended gender. While I may not have the confidence to pull off the Crescent Moon Le Vent myself, that hasn’t stopped both men and women from eagerly hunting down these rare pieces whenever they surface, and they really don't surface very often. When I picked this up in Japan it was the first one I had ever seen in person!

Condition: In good condition, and on the original leather strap, although the strap  has seen better days. Some minor age marks on the dial.

FAQs

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.
