Seiko SARX053; Vitreous Enamel
Seiko SARX053; Vitreous Enamel
Model: SARX053
Year: August 2017
Features:
The Design. It features a deep blue, vitreous enamel dial (aka “true” enamel). It’s a well-rounded and thoughtfully designed dressy-daily watch by Seiko. High-contrast Roman Numerals for the hours with Arabic minute markers, glossy white hands, an oversized crown, and a richly blue crocodile leather strap - an obvious recipe for a timepiece that won’t ever feel dated.
The Enamel. There are various enamelling methods, but vitreous enamel is the sort of enamel you see in those fancy pocket watches from 1910 that look like they were made yesterday. Short of a clumsy repairman scratching it, the dial should look ageless for the next 100 years.
The Strap. To match the dial, it has a navy blue, crocodile stamped leather strap.
The Case. At 40mm wide, it sits beautifully on my wrist. I would describe it as the perfect “office watch”, smart but not oppressively so - just casual enough to make it look like you’re not trying too hard.
Condition: In great condition overall - no marks on the dial, hands or crystal. The the case has a a handful of hairline scratches, but not deep or offensive. The caseback is also marked with similar scratches.
Scope: No box or papers, so it will be packed in a secure leather travel case.
Movement: 6R15 automatic, 50 hour power reserve
Dimensions:
- Case Width: 40.5mm

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.
