Yukisaburo Watanabe was hired to contribute to Seiko’s wonderfully outlandish design era of the ‘90s with this Asterisk Flip watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Design.\u003c\/strong\u003e Watanabe has never publicly spoken about his inspiration for the design, but it bears a striking resemblance to the lesser-known Patek Philippe P-1329 from the 1920s. I’m confident you’ll find the price of this one easier on your wallet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Case. \u003c\/strong\u003eIt’s obviously a dress watch, but it’s the most rugged dress watch you’ll ever own. Not only does the lid provide protective functionality, but there’s a cabochon crystal guarding each corner of the case - meaning the SCLW004 could outperform a lot of sport watches in drop tests. But don’t worry - it’s far more fancy than it is rugged. And just in case you’re not convinced, they etched a Latin idiom into the underside of the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Etching. \u003c\/strong\u003e\"inter machinam et decorem\" meaning \u003cem\u003ebetween machine and elegance\u003c\/em\u003e. Well said, Mr Watanabe - the perfect encapsulation of any modern dress watch. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e In very good condition overall.
