Better Than I Expected

I was a bit unsure buying from a smaller brand, but the quality blew me away. The weight, the finish—feels like it should cost triple.

Didn’t Think It’d Feel This Premium

I was skeptical buying custom—but it’s solid, weighty, and beautifully finished. Way beyond what I expected at this price.

gifted this and now I want one

Bought this for my partner and ended up regretting I didn’t order two. It came in such a nice presentation box, and the watch itself feels so luxury. Will be ordering again for sure.

Impressive Quality and Customer Service

Got updates the whole way through and the watch arrived in perfect condition. You can tell it wasn’t rushed—everything feels thought-out, from the lume to the strap. Etienne even messaged to check if it arrived. Got updates the whole way through and the watch arrived in perfect condition. You can tell it wasn’t rushed—everything feels...

crazy good build for the money

Didn’t expect this level of quality tbh. The sapphire crystal, the bezel action, even the bracelet—feels way above the price point. Arrived in a box that looked way more premium than I thought I paid for. Didn’t expect this level of quality tbh.

took a bit to arrive but worth it

It took about 2 weeks to come in, but it was being custom-built so that made sense. When I opened the box, I could see why... this thing is beautiful. Weighty, smooth movement, clean dial. Would 100% wait again. It took about 2 weeks to come in, but it was being custom-built so that made sense. When I opened...

FAQs

What is a Seiko mod?
A Seiko Mod watch is a customized version of a standard Seiko watch.

The term "MOD" comes from "modification". These modifications are generally made for those who wish to personalize their watch according to their specific tastes or needs. Modifications can vary considerably, from minor aesthetic changes to more complex technical revisions.

What makes Seiko watches particularly amenable to modification is the wide availability of spare parts. This abundance of components enables a wide range of customization, making each Seiko MOD watch unique.
How long does it take to arrive?
Each custom timepiece is hand built To ensure the highest possible standards, we have a lead time of 3 - 4 weeks from the date of order to delivery. This allows us to carry out the necessary quality control procedures and ensure that your watch is made to your satisfaction.
All orders placed through our website are subject to the given lead time even if the item is shown as "In stock".
Each watch is assembled by hand piece by piece in a completely handmade way by an expert with more than 11 years of experience.
Are the watches waterproof?

Our watches are designed with a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, which makes them suitable for everyday use and able to withstand splashes or brief immersion in water.

However, they are not intended for swimming or taking baths.

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your watch, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water.

Which movements do you use?

Our Seiko Mods are powered by trusted Japanese movements:


– Reliable automatic calibers, perfect for dive, field, and GMT styles.


– Mecha-quartz chronograph movements with mechanical sweep and quartz accuracy.

Each build is matched with the ideal movement for lasting performance and style.

How much does shipping cost?

Regardless of your location, we provide complimentary shipping for all our customers!
