Features:

The Release. These limited Seiko Spirit "Emotion" Dots have become more and more popular since their 2015 release. The “Yellow Dot”, sometimes called the Sunny-Side Up or SCVE001, is entirely true to its name. The 24-hour subdial, second hand, and Date Window have all been beautifully accented with egg yolk yellow!

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.
