The combination of an iconic design with pointed dauphine hands, applique hour markers and an Oyster-style bracelet has earned it the nickname "Baby Grand Seiko". Design and performance similar to Grand Seiko.

If your interest has been captured by this watch, it is likely that you have done extensive research beforehand. However, I feel it pertinent to reiterate that, in my opinion, this Seiko specimen represents one of the pinnacles of the brand's production. This assessment is shared by numerous watch collectors and enthusiasts of the sector.

Another reason why this watch is so popular is that Seiko stopped making it in 2018 and have yet to introduce any equivalent model in terms of value for money. In response to this situation, collectors and aficionados have made the SARB033 a must-have in their watch collection. It does not appear that Seiko will be releasing any model with similar conditions in the near future.

The SARB033 is also special because it is part of Seiko's JDM collection.

What is a Seiko JDM watch?

Did you know that Seiko produces a significant number of models exclusively for the Japanese market? These are called "Japan Domestic Market" (JDM) models. Seiko JDM models can be standard series production or limited editions, but they are always exclusive to the Japanese market.

6R15D is the final model before this series was discontinued.

The Seiko SARB033 is powered by the Seiko Caliber 6R15 automatic movement, known for its precision, longevity, and durability. With 23 jewels, a 50-hour power reserve, and a rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour, the 6R15 movement ensures excellent timekeeping performance. 

The movement also incorporates Diashock shock protection and a Spron 510 mainspring for added resilience under various conditions. This combination of features reinforces the SARB033 reputation for affordability without compromising on accuracy and reliability.
