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

      Do you ship globally?

      • 4-9 business days to reach North America
      • 4-12 business days to reach Europe
      • 4-12 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

      All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.

      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.
