Why it is interesting

The warm white dial gives the familiar 4R35 mechanism a quieter vintage character.

Things to consider

The standard crystal is Hardlex; the sales date applies to Japan’s TiCTAC network, so overseas purchasing conditions need separate checking.

Seiko × TiCTAC · Vintage White HZB002J

The model in detail

TiCTAC chose a gently warm dial rather than pure white for its new Seiko collaboration. The luminous markers imitate the aged colour of tritium coatings on vintage watches; this describes the palette, not the use of tritium. Preorders opened on October 21 at 10:00 Japan time, with sales scheduled to begin on October 24, 2026.

The HZB002J uses the automatic Seiko 4R35 with hand winding, hacking seconds and approximately 41 hours of reserve. The steel case is 40mm across, 11mm thick and 48mm lug-to-lug. A curved Hardlex crystal is used rather than sapphire, with 10 bar water resistance. The Japanese retail partner lists ¥55,000 including tax.
