Model: SARD007

Year: 2015

Features:

Retrograde Movement. A silky 28,800bph 6R21 double retrograde movement (day and date), with a power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock. For a watch under $1000, this is a great value proposition, and I haven’t even spoken about the dial yet…

The Dial. A snow-white, enamel dial with pressed subdials, designed to pay homage to the late Riki Watanabe. Often considered a pioneer of modern Japanese design, Watanabe passed away in 2013 and Seiko collaborated with his design house on a handful of enamel dial watches that took inspiration from Watanabe’s famous clock designs. The results are stunning; not only do they perfectly capture the essence of the “Riki Clocks”, but the high contrast visuals and intricate subdials harken back to Seiko’s early “Laurel” days.

Discontinued: Winner of Japan’s 2004 Good Design Award, the “Riki Clocks” have an almost Herman Miller-esque following in Japan’s interior design scene. As a result, the now-discontinued SARD007 is incredibly popular in Japan, and is one of the few Seiko watches that’s typically more expensive to buy in Japan than in the West. I don't speculate often, but I am incredibly confident that this watch will be remain very popular for decades.

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.
