The Seiko Spirit TicTac is a retailer collaboration with a distinctly old-fashioned dial: on the black-dial SZSB006, large Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 share space with cathedral-style hands and softly colored luminous markers. It’s that mix of everyday Seiko practicality and vintage-inspired detail—not a straight reproduction of an older watch—that makes it interesting.
The original SZSB006 and SZSB007 were introduced for Japanese watch retailer TiCTAC’s 35th anniversary in 2019; start with that pair if the anniversary connection matters to you. The SZSB006 is the natural choice for its dark dial and pronounced lume contrast. Inside, the 4R35 allows both hand-winding and seconds stopping, useful functions to confirm when handling one. At 40mm, this is a modern-sized watch despite its period-flavored face.
What owners love
- Owners of the SZSB006 keep coming back to the cathedral hands, warm-coloured markers and uncluttered dial. It has some of the character they like in the Alpinist, without the compass scale and second crown competing for attention.
Common Criticisms
- Some owners wish the 40mm case were a little smaller; owners of both the SZSB007 and SZSB021 have voiced that frustration. The restrained dial makes them want something closer to 38mm rather than a watch with this much wrist presence.
