What is a Seiko Hommage?
Seiko modding was born from a community of enthusiasts who saw in Seiko watches a unique field of expression. Thanks to their accessibility, reliability and easy-to-modify mechanics, Seiko watches became blank canvases for creating tributes to legendary watches — such as the Rolex Submariner, the GMT Pepsi or the Milsub. This movement is above all a story of passion, where each creation is a nod to legendary watchmaking.
A Seiko mod is a custom Seiko watch, assembled from carefully chosen components to reproduce or reinterpret an iconic model. This ranges from the choice of dial to the bezel, including the crystal, hands and case. At Watch & Patina, I create each mod by hand, with an extreme attention to detail. I go further by applying manual patina techniques to certain elements to give them an authentic aged appearance, close to vintage watchmaking from the 60s to 80s. Each piece is therefore unique, designed for lovers of watchmaking history.
It all depends on what you're looking for:
If you're a diver and a fan of ruggedness, a tribute to the Submariner or the 5513 will be perfect.
If you're looking for a bolder piece, the Pepsi or Hulk models add a touch of color and character.
Do you like the vintage, timeworn look? The patinated versions are for you—I age them by hand using processes I've developed over the years. Whatever your choice, each watch is hand-assembled with passion, tested, and designed to last. I don't just sell watches; I share a passion and recreate a story to wear on your wrist.
Because some legendary watches are inaccessible to many enthusiasts. My goal is to revive their emotion, through affordable, authentic pieces that are faithful to the original spirit. Each model I modify is a tribute to an era, an iconic design, a watchmaking history. I recreate it by hand, with passion, so that you can wear it every day.
Exactly. You don't need to be a collector or an expert. I'll guide you through models designed to be worn, loved, and admired. Each piece is crafted with robust components (sapphire crystal, automatic NH35 movement, etc.) to give you maximum value and style—without complications.

He recibido el reloj en perfectas condiciones. Me ha encantado la caja y el reloj en sí mismo
Omdat de bezorger mijn adres niet kon vinden, is het horloge teruggestuurd en daarom duurde de levering wat langer. In eerste instantie kreeg ik een horloge met een afwijkende kleur van de lunette. Uiteindelijk heeft Tom mijn verwachtingen meer dan overtroffen door een horloge te sturen met een extra inlay voor de lunette. Het duurde wat langer, maar hij heeft de verwachtingen meer dan waargemaakt. Chapeau!
素晴らしいサービス。非常にプロフェッショナルで、注文した時計はまさに私が望んでいたものでした。しっかりとした梱包で送られてきました。この会社と仕事ができることを嬉しく思います。
ウォッチ＆パティーナは素晴らしい発見だ。セイコーのモッズサブマリーナーのヴィンテージを初めて注文したのですが、ほとんど毎日使うようになりました。美しく作られた製品です。新しい注文をするほど満足しています。
彼らのプロ意識に感謝します。

Hello,
I wanted to share my opinion on this Submariner Jubilee 5513 homage... And I'm IMPRESSED!
First of all, I completely understand the high demand for these models. Since they're hand-assembled and patinated, I find the assembly time normal. What's especially great is that they provide end-to-end support, and they're responsive and keep us informed of everything, from assembly to preparation and delivery. I commend your craftsmanship, well done! :)
