Its signature feature is the asymmetric 24-hour sub-dial positioned toward the upper-left portion of the dial, with the orange sub-dial, seconds hand and framing around the date aperture giving the otherwise restrained design a playful splash of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the SCVE003 “Red Dot” remains my personal favorite from the series, the Orange Dot comes at a very close second and has an undeniable charm of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wider SCVE family experimented with a variety of colors while retaining the same distinctive asymmetric design language. Seiko described the collection as combining the retro character of a mechanical watch with a more playful pop aesthetic, using different colors to express “Emotions.” \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction was relatively short-lived, and the Dot models have subsequently become surprisingly difficult to find.

Instead of relying on complicated finishing or an elaborate movement, Seiko created something memorable through an unusual combination of texture, proportion, asymmetry and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe linen-like silver dial is particularly effective against the bright orange accents. The off-center 24-hour display immediately draws the eye toward the upper-left of the dial, while the matching orange seconds hand and date-window surround carry the color throughout the rest of the design. Importantly, the 24-hour sub-dial is an AM\/PM-style indication tied to the main time rather than an independently adjustable second time zone. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the Dot series particularly interesting today is how dramatically its reputation has changed.
