Perpetual SC-03 - Best value Microbrand??? - First Impressions

#seiko #omega #rolex
Here are our first impressions of the Perpetual SC‑03, a highly regarded microbrand at a reasonable price point:
💎 Highlights summary
Enamel dial, warm ivory tone creates a luxurious feeling, different from the usual paint

Heat-fired blue steel hands achieve a deep blue color, the whole hand is blue (instead of just the surface), usually only appearing on expensive models – in the SC‑03, this is extremely rare in the $180 price range

Seagull ST1701 movement (running small seconds), calibrated to a very low error of about +2s/day
The watch has sapphire glass on both the front and the back, and the glass caseback allows you to see the movement – ​​a detail usually only seen on watches in a higher range
Size: 40–41mm, ~11–12mm thick, ~84g light weight – fits well on the wrist because of the “bulbous” design of the case
