Model: SARX055

Year: April 2022

Features:

The "Baby". The popularity of the GS “Snowflake” style dial has led Seiko to create a handful of “baby” snowflake dials (to be clear, that nickname has come from Seiko collectors, not Seiko themselves!), and the SARX055 is perhaps the most popular and well known. Grand Seiko finishing, but with Seiko pricing. But make no mistake, as attention grabbing as the dial is, it’s not the only noticeably higher quality element on this watch.

The Finish. The hands and indices really shine, and I mean really shine. They aren’t billed as being Zaratsu polished (the polishing technique often reserved for Grand Seikos), but they’re doing an excellent impression of it. I’ll be posting a video of the watch next week, so be sure to check it out as I’m confident you’ll agree that the hands and indices live up to the hype.

The Crystal. The sapphire crystal is double-coated in Seiko’s “Super-Clear Coating”. It’s a proprietary formula, designed to be an upgrade of the standard anti-reflective coating. And what a noticeable upgrade it is! Or perhaps unnoticeable is a better term? The crystal just disappears.

The Case. Both the case and bracelet are solid titanium, which reduces the overall weight of the watch by around 35% (compared to other 40mm Stainless Steel Seikos using the same 6R15 movement). An impressive mix of polished and brushed elements continue to give the impression of a watch with a much higher MSRP.

Condition: Fantastic condition, and serviced by Seiko Japan just over a year ago.

Movement: 6R15 automatic, with a 50-hour power reserve

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.
