Model: Seiko “Silverwave” J12082

Year: 1960

Features:

The Build. Is the J12082 Seiko’s first dive watch? Depends who you ask. Modern watch enthusiast will likely scoff at the idea of a “dive watch” only having 50m of water resistance. Equally, Seiko aficionados will almost certainly tell you the 62MAS is Seiko’s first dive watch - and they wouldn’t be wrong. With 150m of water resistance, the 62MAS is certainly Seiko’s first professional dive watch.

The Era. In 1960, most Seiko's shared common design traits. Lumeless hands and dials, snap-on casebacks, tiny crowns, and not a bezel in sight. The look was standardised, so when Seiko produced the Silverwave J12082 in 1960, it turned heads. 

The Design. With its generously lumed dial and hands, over-sized crown, rotating bezel, and screw-down caseback, it was clearly built with diving in mind. It also introduced the Tsunami caseback emblem - a now-iconic Seiko motif for dozens of Seiko dive watches.

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.
