Seiko SCVL002 (6810-8000) Ultra-Thin Dress Watch

KMII · 2018-02-24T09:22:21Z

Explore the Seiko SCVL002 (6810-8000), a 33mm ultra-thin hand-wound dress watch with Seiko's thinnest mechanical movement, Caliber 6810A.

KMII introduces the Seiko SCVL002, also known as the 6810-8000, as a testament to the appeal of horological simplicity. This post highlights the watch's minimalist design, compact 33mm size, and ultra-thin hand-wound movement. It serves as a focused appreciation of a lesser-known, yet highly regarded, Seiko dress watch, particularly for those who value understated elegance.

As discussed with Padj in another thread, simplicity certainly has an appeal all of its own (here: www.watchprosite.com for thread).

So I thought of offering a Seiko proponent of this school of thought - namely my Seiko SCVL002, also known as the 6810-8000 (here: www.watchprosite.com for more).

All 33mm x less than 6mm of two hand, handwound simplicity

Have a great weekend!

Key Points from the Discussion

The Seiko SCVL002 (6810-8000) features Seiko's thinnest mechanical movement, the 1.98mm Caliber 6810A, contributing to its ultra-slim profile.
Despite its 33mm case size, the SCVL002 wears larger due to its thin bezel and minimal dial, making it suitable for various wrist sizes.
The SCVL002 was part of a limited edition series for the Japanese market, re-launching the Ultra Thin Dress (UTD) line in conjunction with Seiko's 110th anniversary.
The SCVL002 and its variant, the SCVL001 (without Roman numerals), were released a year after the initial 1991 limited edition of 100 pieces.
Finding these specific 6810 references can be challenging, with Japan often being the best market for collectors to search.

Can he tolerate the combination of two positive virtues? This is the simplest Seiko I have. MIke

Surprising really how normal 33mm wears if the proportions are right And the watch has Seiko‘s thinnest mechanical movement - the 1,98mm Cal. 6810A. Glad you like it
