Good Evening
Last week, the last Seiko I was waiting has arrived, the Brightz SAGL003 with caliber 8L21 (a caliber 8L35 without date). Limited Edition made in Japan for Japan.
Best regards
Georges

Interesting what is the significance of “Brightz”?. Saw the B on the dial thought bitcoin for a minute. Too many seikos I know nothing about.

It was a denomination of Seiko's high end range before the reintroduction of Grand Seiko in 2009. The Brightz Phoenix chronographs and the Brightz Phoenix three handers were the top of the range back then. Also there weres also the Ananta Brightz chronographs powered with the 8r28 which were mostly japanese domestic market models even though some have been sold in very limited numbers in European and American markets.
