Model: SARC001 / 6R20-00B0

Year: September 2006

Features:

The Dial. Launched in 2006, the SARC collection has already produced several classics, and the SARC001 is no exception. Its dial, with its concentric ripples, is often mistaken for guilloché, but it’s actually created through "electrophoretic deposition". Seiko experimented with this electroforming technique, involving the hand-shaping of a textured, metal, base layer from which you shape the main dial. Anodes, cathodes and electrical fields are involved. It feels like we're back in School, so let's skip to the next section.

The Movement. Much like the SARW045 above, the SARC001 is powered by a 28,800bph “Hi-Beat” 6R2X calibre. The six-handed movement, offers circular day, date and power serve indication on its fourth, fifth and sixth hands. It’s one of my favourite affordable complications. There’s something very intriguing about a watch that looks like a chronograph but isn’t. 

The Bracelet. Comes on the original tombstone style bracelet, and will fit up to an 8 inch wrist.

Condition: In great condition - no immediately noticeable marks anywhere. The only tiny hairlines can be found on the side of the case, and there are some hard-to-see bump marks on the bezel

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.
