[Seiko] Rising Sun, SCVE003

Picked up my grail-worthy Seiko SCVE003 ‘Rising Sun’ in 2017 while in Thailand—brand new at the time. Part of the Spirit Smart collection, it features a stunning red sunburst dial, a 40.5mm case, and the 4R37 movement with a unique 24-hour subdial. My only gripe was the stock bracelet, but switching it to a gray NATO strap gave it a whole new personality. Still one of my favorite pieces to this day!
