Seiko Power Design Chronograph SBPP003/SBPP001 Watch

Image

Each year Seiko holds a contest called the Power Design Project. I don't know all the details, but I believe it involves a contest among Seiko designers (and maybe other designers as well) in Japan to design cool new concept watches. Often times, many of the designs are very sober and classic - less wildly futuristic. Seiko actually produces some of the winning designs each year. Most of these pieces are limited in production and only sold in Japan, but you can get them online.

One of my favorite Power Design Project watch models from the last few years that was actually produced is this Ref. SBPP003 (white dial) or SBP001 (black dial). It looks like a combo between a sport Seiko, Tag Heuer Carrera, and an Omega Speedmaster. It is quite thin at about 10mm thick, and 40mm wide (in steel).

The dial comes in black or white - each matched to a black bezel. The piece is handsome and easy to like. Nothing wild here, save for a nicely polished design with both modern and vintage looking accents. I really do like the bracelet. Seiko is known to have the competence to make fantastic bracelets for relatively low priced watches.

Inside the SBPP001/3 watch is a Seiko 7T62 quartz movement. Basic, but highly effective and used in a healthy number of watches. The movement has the time, date, 60 minute chronograph, and an alarm. The lower subsidiary seconds dial is where you set the alarm. Though it is all includes in a nicely organized fashion. The hands and applied hour markers have lume. Little touches like the polished rings around the subdials help this watch be a winner. Don't forget to always look out for Seiko Power Design Project watches for interesting, good-looking watches at relatively reasonable prices. The SBPP003 and SBPP001 watches are gonna cost about $450 at the current yen/dollar conversion rate.

A visit to the new Seiko Museum

After an extensive renovation, the Seiko Institute of Horology has re-opened as 'The Seiko Museum'.

Εικόνα
1st Floor

As the 2nd oldest watch company in the world (1881) with original family still as sharehoilders, Seiko celebrates the richest collection of unique Japanese 'Wadokei' clocks and the story of Seiko's founder, as well as the beginnings of horology.

Wadokei

A Japanese clock (和時計 wadokei) is a mechanical clock that has been made to tell traditional Japanese time. It was during the Japanese isolationist period without input from European clockmakers: without pendulum nor balance spring.

For the chronometry fans, there is a sports timing area.



Admission and Booking

Admission is free but by prior telephone booking only.
Call 03-3610-6248 to arrange an appointment.


Location: Higashi Mukojima 3-9-7, Sumida-ku, Tokyo 131-0032.

It is near the Sumida River and a little north-east of Asakusa (where the Kannon Temple or Sensoji tourist must-see is).

Asakusa is also famous for the soba (noodles) and unagi (grilled river eel) restaurants.

Combine a river boat tour with the Asakusa Kannon Sensoji and the Seiko Museum.

Closest rail/subway stations are:
Higashi-Mukojima Station on Tobu Skytree Line: 8 mins walk.
Hikifune Station on Toei Asakusa (or Keisei) Line: 15 mins walk.

Note: A formal PuristSPro Report of the Seiko Museum is planned but all visiting PuristS are invited to post their observations if you are lucky to go.
