The “Bronze Dot” SCVE008, is entirely true to its hue - not only the dial and dot but the second hand and leather strap also carry shades of bronze. **The Origin.** Beyond their rarity and value, the Dots have a distinct charm that feels experimental, possibly hinting at their origin. Collections like the Dot series are the result of junior designers being given the opportunity to create low-stakes, small-batch releases for the Japanese Domestic Market. With Seiko’s strong culture of internal promotion, allowing designers to step above their paygrade for a project or two could be an ideal way to spot new talent. **The Bracelet.** Aftermarket but the same colour and design as the original. **Details:** **Condition:** Serviced.
