Model: Seiko SARW039

Year: 2018

Features:

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.

The Heritage. The SARW039 features the indices and minute track markers found on Seiko's 1895 Time Keeper Pocket Watch.

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.
