Seiko SCVL002 aka 6810-8000 or the large 33mm watch ⚖️🇯🇵
While some of my Seiko’s stretch to 51mm (like the Izul: www.watchprosite.com ), I often like them at the other end of the size spectrum. While the SCVL002 is not my smallest Seiko, it is amongst the more elegant / classically sized ones at 33mm and under 6mm thinness.
This is also the last non-Credor Seiko to sport the Cal. 68xx ultra thin movement. It’s a 1,98mm 21,600 vph hand wound affair (mostly used in the 1970s and revived in the 1990s) and in typically quirky Seiko fashion a shaped movement in a round watch.
Coming on the heels of the U.T.D., together with the SCVL001 (without the Roman numerals) it really demonstrates that proportions and design do much more than the mere size. From pictures one could hardly guess it’s 33mm and it’s a super pleasant wear. Plus easily slips under any cuffs and is one of the stealthiest watches imaginable. I know Cazalea has a Credor cousin in platinum.
Any other Seiko’s on wrists these days?

Very beautiful watch.
It reminds me a little of the Omega De Ville ultra thin quartz I've been wearing during 20 years before I decided to start looking further. I didn't care taking pictures of my watch back then, so the only ones I have are very poor... Best, Emmanuel ...
Very nice piece 👌🏻👍🏻
And I see the appreciation for colored metals has been with you for a while 😊
Indeed.
In fact my appreciation for colored metals started many years before this Omega was gifted to me by my parents for my 25th birthday: it started with this small manual wind Emerich Meerson that belonged to my mother who gave it to me when I was about ten… ...
A truly lovely piece 👌🏻👏🏻
On a similar note I remember snatching my mother’s wood Tissot when I was a similar age. Don’t have pictures of it but was this type: ...
That’s a very nice one too!
Watches are often considered to be mainly a men’s thing and we are mostly men on this site, but in my case (and maybe yours too) the interest in watches and first important watches all came from my mother.
In my case it was primarily my father…
This was a gift to her that quickly made a transition to me 😊
My mother generally exhibited generosity…
When it came to my wishes and desires, which had a positive effect for sure 😊👍🏻
I remember this post!
I have a fondness for two handers. This is such a beautiful piece!
Thanks a lot - with a lot more content than meets the eye 😊👍🏻🙏🏻
The proportions and dimensions make it a nice dress watch to start with, the movement adds appeal that is at the same time invisible at first glance 😊
