The Enamel. A rich blue that mirrors the colour of sea. Unlike typical enamel, Shippo enamel is translucent, and because the surface is built up over many layers, the enamel can take on a wide array of hues. After the final layer has been added and the dial has been re-fired, the surface is polished to a perfectly glassy finish.
The Dial. The dial pattern is engraved into the metal disc, upon which the Shippo enamel is layered. It is reminiscent of flinqué, which is the term used in Europe to describe a guilloche dial that’s been enamelled over. Don’t get me wrong, flinqué dials are incredibly pretty, but the translucent nature of Shippo makes for a much more interesting viewing experience, in my biased Seiko-loving opinion.
Limited Edition. Limited to 2,500 and it sold out very quickly upon its release in 2018.

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.
