I love my Seiko's...all of them, so here's a quick tribute with some of my favorite photos.
First up, my Presage SPB085, the Urushi Byakudan-nuri. My wife and I took a baby-moon to Japan in the Spring of 2019 when she was 5.5 months pregnant. I picked up this beauty at the Ginza Seiko Dream Square as a birth year watch for my son.
I wasn't familiar with this reference until seeing it there in-person, and despite it being "busy", I was smitten by the quality and traditional lacquering techniques used to produce this special limited edition. We went on to Kyoto and a few other places for a week or so, but upon my return to Tokyo, it was one of my first stops. Here's a nice promo video showing the artist crafting one of these special dials:
Next up, my Presage SARX033. At under $800 this watch is a great bargain and I'd be challenged to recommend a higher value.
The dial looks to be a bright white, but is actually opalescent with a sunburst effect, the bracelet is also great on this watch, I've just always preferred it on a leather strap...
These next two I'll group together. They are my Prospex SBDC065 and Prospex SBDC133, both referred to as Marine Master 200's.
SBDC065 Special Edition "The Great Blue Hole"
SBDC133 Limited Edition "Island Green of Iriomote"
For something vintage, my King Seiko 5626-7041 Hi-Beat. Elegant, classy and it keeps tremendous time. As many have said before, these are a great value and are still available without breaking the bank.
(not sure why this photo uploaded in this orientation...)
Finally, my Grand Seiko, the crown jewel of my brood...the SBGA413
Shunbun
The craftsmanship and quality is off the chart, and at +4 seconds per
month (!), it is easily the top timekeeper, regardless of brand, in my collection.
Have a great day ΩF !!
