Released exclusively for the Japanese domestic market in 2007 and limited to only 250 pieces, the SARB026 is immediately recognizable by its intricate brown checkered dial, warm gold-tone accents, and sharply faceted stainless-steel case. With production considerably lower than most celebrated SARB references, the SARB026 has become one of the true grails of the series and is seldom encountered on the secondary market. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Introduced in 2007 during the formative years of Seiko’s 6R15-powered Mechanical collection, the SARB026 appeared alongside references such as the SARB021, SARB025 and SARB045. While the other models were regular-production pieces, the SARB026 was produced as a special limited edition of just 250 examples. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe early SARB generation represents an important period in modern Seiko history, combining traditional mechanical watchmaking with increasingly sophisticated case finishing, sapphire crystals, and distinctive dial treatments. This case, dial and hand archetype becomes very important for Seiko as they have used the same design elements for their new EVO-9 Grand Seiko series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications and Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall: Excellent\u003cbr\u003eCase: Excellent\u003cbr\u003eCrystal: Clean\u003cbr\u003eDial: Clean\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Excellent\u003cbr\u003eBracelet\/Strap: Original Seiko bracelet\u003cbr\u003eIncludes: Box \u0026amp; Papers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeiko Caliber 6R15 automatic\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e38.5mm diameter\u003cbr\u003e20mm lug width\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 11.3mm thickness\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinctive brown checkered textured dial\u003cbr\u003eHighly faceted stainless-steel case architecture\u003cbr\u003eAngular applied indices \u003cbr\u003eLimited edition of only 250 pieces worldwide \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JDM Horologist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50979626975475,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/4984\/1907\/files\/kmmwv7p12btf1.webp?v=1788644082","url":"https:\/\/jdmhorologist.net\/products\/seiko-sarb026-limited-edition-of-250","provider":"JDM Horologist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
