Selling my pre-owned LNIB Seiko SLA033 purchased from an authorized distributor in 2019.

Condition: LNIB
Price: $3,595 shipped CONUS with payment by wire or PayPal for buyers with good references.

This is Seiko's re-creation of their 1970 Diver which was released in 2019 and limited to 2,500 pieces. The movement is the caliber 8L35, with a 50-hour power reserve, and water resistance of 200 meters. The SLA033 features a Zaratsu-polished bezel (Zaratsu polishing is the hand-polishing technique used for Grand Seiko cases). The watch is in LNIB condition per the Time Zone grading scale and will include all original boxes and papers.

	Established:	1881

	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
