PAUL SMITH Final Eyes Chronograph Limited Edition quartz wristwatch – complete retail set!

PAUL SMITH “Final Eyes” Limited Edition multifunction Chronograph quartz watch
MADE IN JAPAN

Paul Smith is a leading British independent design house known for its “classic with a twist” aesthetic, blending traditional tailoring with playful, eccentric details.

While the brand is famous for its fashion, its watches are primarily manufactured through a long-standing partnership with the Japanese watch giant Citizen. This collaboration ensures that the watches combine Paul Smith’s unique London-based design with high-quality Japanese movements and assembly, making them far more durable and technically reliable than typical “fashion” watches

Paul Smith “Final Eyes” Chronograph Limited Edition, specifically the 2017 commemorative release. Paul Smith watches are designed by the iconic British fashion house and manufactured in Japan through a long-standing partnership with Citizen, ensuring high-quality quartz movements despite being “fashion” watches.

The Story: “Final Eyes”

The “Final Eyes” collection is one of Paul Smith’s most recognizable watch lines, first introduced around 2002.

• The Design Inspiration: The sub-dials are designed to look like “eyes” on the face of the watch, a playful touch typical of Paul Smith’s “classic with a twist” philosophy. The case shape is a “cushion” style, inspired by vintage watches from the 1940s and 50s.

• The Case Back: The engraving of the two eyes on the back (which you can see in your first photo) is the signature logo for this specific collection.

• The Limited Edition: Your model (Ref: 0520-T023819) was released as a limited run of 2,017 pieces to celebrate the year 2017. The number on your specific watch appears to be 1757/2017.

Technical Specifications

• Movement: Japanese Quartz (Citizen 0520 caliber). It is a reliable, “set it and forget it” battery-operated movement.

• Functions: * Chronograph: 60-minute stopwatch (top sub-dial).

  • 24-Hour Dial: The sub-dial at 3 o’clock indicates AM/PM.

  • Seconds: The bottom sub-dial is the running seconds hand.

  • Date: Window at the 4 o’clock position.

• Materials: Stainless steel case and bracelet, 10-bar (100m) water resistance, and a mineral crystal.

• The “Twist”: Look closely at the dial; Paul Smith often hides subtle colors on the hands or the minute markers—in this case, the orange accents on the chrono hand and the first 15 minutes of the inner ring.

Paul Smith is the quintessential British “Classic with a Twist” fashion house, but when it comes to their watches, the “manufacturer” story is actually a tale of two different countries: Japan and Switzerland.

The Japanese Connection: Citizen

For the vast majority of their watches—including your Final Eyes Chronograph—the manufacturer is actually Citizen Watch Co. in Japan.

• The Partnership: Since the 1990s, Paul Smith has had a long-term licensing agreement with Citizen. While Paul Smith’s team in London and Nottingham handles the aesthetic design (the colors, the “eyes,” the hidden details), Citizen handles the engineering, the movement production, and the assembly.

• The Quality: Because they are made by Citizen, these are not typical “disposable” fashion watches. They use high-quality Japanese quartz movements (like your Caliber 0520) and are built to the same durability standards as Citizen’s own mainline watches.

• Regional Exclusivity: Many of these watches were historically designed specifically for the Japanese market, where Paul Smith is incredibly popular. This is why many of the best examples and information are found on Japanese collector sites.

Why Paul Smith?

Unlike many fashion designers who simply slap their logo on a generic factory watch, Sir Paul Smith is a genuine watch enthusiast. He famously collects vintage watches and cameras, which is why his designs often reference specific historical eras (like the 1950s “TV-screen” case shapes or the 1940s “Final Eyes” sub-dials).
