Model: Seiko SARW013 / 6R27-00G0

Year: May 2016

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

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.

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

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.

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.
