Model: Seiko SARB003 (2006)
Overview:
One of the original SARB references, the SARB003 stands out for its rare gradient “smokey ring” dial paired with a distinctive faceted sapphire crystal.
History:
Released in early 2006 as part of the first generation of the now legendary SARB line, the SARB003 was produced until 2009.
It is equipped with Seiko’s 6R15 movement and is one of the few models in the SARB lineup to feature a faceted sapphire crystal, a detail rarely seen across Seiko’s catalog.
The dial is particularly notable, consisting of multiple concentric circular rings that create a subtle gradient “smokey” effect, adding depth and character that complements the crystal design.
