Year: 2004

Features:

The Origin. Do you live your life a quarter mile at a time? If you just nodded your head in agreement at Dominic Toretto’s philosophical musings, then this might be the perfect watch for you. Designed by Takuya Yura, the owner of a Japanese racing team, the SBDP021 was released in 2004 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Seiko’s first Chronograph. 

The Case. Few watches wear their automotive influence so boldly - starting with the raiseable case. It can be lifted and locked into various positions, allowing the dial to remain legible and the pushers easily accessible - even when your hands are white-knuckling a steering wheel.

The Inspiration. The case and bracelet are solid titanium, which keeps the weight down, allowing you to maintain your normal lap time. The dial design takes cues from high-contrast racing dashboards. A bold black-and-white colour scheme, paired with high-vis orange hands, ensures legibility at a glance - even if you’re going 200mph. And perhaps the most subtle touch? The outer edges of the lugs are shaped to resemble a double wishbone suspension system.

The Influence. For most of us, this is more of a fun piece than a serious one - but it covers both bases convincingly. So much so, in fact, that Porsche introduced their own take on a flip-up racing case a few years after the release of the SBDP021 (it’s no where near as cool).

The Complications. Rotating the bezel gives you quick access to the bullhead chrono-pushers, which control the central chronograph seconds, split time, 60-minute counter, and alarm functions.

      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.

      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.

      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

      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.
