Seiko SARX027 surprised me: beautiful enamel dial, domed sapphire crystal, solid 6R15 movement and sports a clean beautiful dial layout that pays tribute to the late Riki Watanabe, a grandmaster of Japanese Design Industry.
Thank you for this vid... I owned this watch for a few years now but never made the connection to Mr. Wantanabe... always loved the aesthetics of the dial design. In the middle of this vid I immediately had to go put the watch on. in love with it all over again! Thank you so much for the info!
nice video - how are you finding the movement accuracy? i have a 6R15B, and though i got it regulated to +4spd only a few months ago, it's now back to -20spd, which is quite annoying
Good points. I have this and the sard 007. Even though, there's a lot going on the dial, it's nicely laid out. I also have the Roman letters versions. As for the dial, the polished urushi lacquer looks better than the bubbled unpolished enamel.
@@designreview8876 ya l like the layout despite the busyness, lol. Only my wrist right now is the urushi lacquer dial SARD011. I wear this and the 007 with Hirsh Sienna 20/16 straps. Makes the watch looks luxurious 😅
I've been hunting for this model for awhile now! Where would be the best place to try and find it that would ship to US? You mention "Malaysian watch forum"?
Yes Andrew. it is a Malaysian based watch forum website: www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php?board=6.50 Sometimes there are some good deals. Good for Malaysians since we do not need to pay any extra import duty when purchase from local watch enthusiast.
This is far more elegant than some wall clock, but is simultaneously very understated. The enamel has to be seen in-person before a final judgement can be passed- it looks incredible, as though it were still molten and soft. I don't really understand the Alpinist's popularity. They seem quite ugly to me.
