Model: Seiko “Lupin the Third” SBPA007 / S771-0AA0

Year: August 2011

Limited Edition: 1500 Pieces

Features:

The Innovation. A watch that demonstrates another “World’s First” for Seiko. In 2006, Seiko released the first watch with an electrophoretic, or e-ink, display. Like a kindle, that uses the same technology, the display boasts maximum clarity without relying on harsh contrasts. To be clear, the watch on offer today wasn’t the first one released - that honour belongs to Seiko Spectrum - but the SBPA007 on offer has some impressive upgrades. 

The Build. Released a few years later, the SBPA007 built on the Spectrum’s technology by pairing e-ink fidelity with the versatility of a solar-powered, radio-controlled quartz movement. The result? A watch that won’t miss a second, and looks good doing it.

The Design. This watch was released as a limited edition collaboration with Japanese anime "Lupin the Third". The series is beloved both in Japan and overseas, and the watch is packed full of nods to the show - making it the perfect watch for the right collectors. 

The Display. While it has an alarm and world timer, the real draw is the fact the watch can effortlessly switch between five distinct styles - one of which is inspired by Lupin the Third. Demonstrated in the pictures, it’s a novel way to display the current hour!

        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.
