Features:

The Craftsmanship. It’s hard to believe at this price point, but each dial is hand lacquered by one man! Isshu Tamura is one of very few Japanese artisans who still practice the traditional Kanazawa art of “Urushi” Lacquering; a hardening technique that can be found on Japanese tableware as far back as 7000 BC. The result is a hyper-polished looking, rich black dial. For both visual and textural contrast, the hands have been dusted in golden flakes. I truly don’t know how Seiko made money selling these. Only 15 dials could be made each day! 

The Movement. Inside is a 6R27, which is essentially a hi-beat upgrade to the more standard Presage 6R15 movement. It’s a 28,888 bph, with 29 jewels, a circular date complication and a power reserve indicator.

Condition: In great condition. Any marks are tiny and hard to notice. 

Scope: No box or papers. 

Movement: 6R27, 28,800 “Hi-Beat”, 29 Jewels, Automatic Movement

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.
