Model: Seiko SARB001 / 6R15-00D0

Year: April 2006

Features:

The Collection. The SARB line-up is expansive - 47 in total - but the watch on offer today was the first. 001. While it carries all the hallmarks of a modern Seiko, with its GS inspired case, 6R movement, punchy dial, and chunky dauphine hands - it has one unmistakable throwback.

The Crystal. A quad-faceted sapphire. Not something Seiko has experimented with much since the ‘70s. Is it a feature I’d want on most watches? Absolutely not. But when the facet geometry is paired with the right dial design, count me in.

The Design. On the SARB001, the crystal acts like porthole, as the piercing blue fumé dial draws your eyes into its centre. It undeniably works, and given that Seiko made three colour variants - blue, black and orange - there’s something for everyone.

FAQs

  • 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.
