Scarcity & Value Factors

The Shizukuishi Caliber: Unlike standard Prospex models, the SLA037 is driven by the pure-bred Caliber 8L55 Hi-Beat, which is essentially an undecorated Grand Seiko 9S85 movement, hand-assembled and adjusted alongside GS calibers by master watchmakers.

Ever-Brilliant Steel: This model was one of the very first to introduce Seiko's highly advanced steel alloy, offering a brilliant white hue and a PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number) value 1.7 times higher than standard 316L stainless steel.

Strict Investment Potential: With a hard limit of 1,100 pieces globally, low-number production examples like 0405 in unpolished, box-kept condition continue to enjoy strong collector demand and stable asset valuation worldwide.

Lot Notes: The watch comes as shown in the images on its original premium rubber strap. Please review the high-resolution macro photos carefully to verify the stunning cosmetic condition and the faint surface mark on the case back.
