    Not something you’d want to wear every day, but very cool, none the less. Shame about the price, as at that much it’s not something you’d take a punt on.

    Who can release more 'limited edition' models do you think, Seiko or Omega? This one in particular is bridging the gap even more with emulating the Speedmaster look.

    They could have put the leather strap on correctly.

    Good point. Lol.



    Seiko are always in a rush to make more new models. It appears that they are in as much of a rush to get photographs out of their new models. Classic.

    If it’s on a deployant (which it looks like) then thats the way the majority of manufacturers fit them with the small strap at 6. No idea why.

    In Japan it is considered rude to have the tail of the strap pointing at someone else.
    So they fit the short side at 6 so the long side points to you.
    The buckles are branded this way as well.

    This looks not too bad.

    Here it is.

    Interesting point.

    It is some kind of folding clasp. The strap keepers are on the six o'clock part of the strap, so the short length.

    Something Esher like about that watch face! Like it - but tad expensive as import taxes are also payable and not knowing about the brand etc.

    I knew Phil Toledano quite well, we went to school together, same year.
    He has a real thing for the rarer releases from PP, Rolex and others from back in the 80s when they allowed themselves to create ranges with a significantly bolder design aesthetic than they allow themselves now.
    He's a talented bloke, and quite active on Social Media, his instagram, misternenthusiast, is great, as is his little brand proejct, Vivo Bastardo
