**Model:** Seiko SAWV003 / 7F38-9A00 **Year:** April 2003 **Album**: [https://imgur.com/a/H31ub9m](https://imgur.com/a/H31ub9m) **Timestamp:**  [https://imgur.com/a/cJaHBb6](https://imgur.com/a/cJaHBb6) **Features:** **The Design.** Sometimes weird is cool, and in case the four subdials weren’t unique enough, Seiko added a door to the SAWV003. The results are magnificently weird, and I’m all for it. The door actually acts as a giant magnifier, slightly enlarging the subdials while primarily magnifying whatever lies beneath when you swing it open. In my opinion, its true function is to evoke Seiko’s unapologetic 1990s approach to design; a time when no design philosophy was too sacred to challenge. Although Seiko has become more reserved in recent years, vintage pieces like this serve as a reminder of their quirky spirit. **The Complication.** Circular day and date, a monthly moonphase and a “towards the sun” independently programmable hour hand make up the four subdials. The hour markers have been replaced with N, E, S, and W, aiding in navigation with the “towards the sun” dial. The "towards the sun" hand can function as a GMT hand if you prefer, as it can be set independently to the main hour hand.  **The Case.** Although it may not look like, both the door and the case itself have crystals in them. It's often erroneously thought that once you open the door you have direct access to the hands and dial - don't worry, they are safely kept behind a second layer of crystal! **The Movement.** The GLCC992 houses Credor's 5R77 movement, which is one of very few Spring Drive Moonphases in existence. Accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month, and with a 72-hour power reserve. **Details:** **Condition:** In good condition overall. The metal of the "door" has visible scratches across it, but no scratches have penetrated the plating. The metal shows very mild signs of patina. Both sets of crystals are in great condition. The dial shows no signs of aging. **Scope:** No box or papers **Movement:** 7F38 Moonphase Quartz **Case Width**: 38.0mm **Case Thickness:** 11.8mm **Lug Width:** 18mm **Price:** Offered at $960 + shipping.
