Australian Exclusive - the two you have been waiting for!

Noosa by Night
Is simply Seiko's way of saying thank you Australia for your loyal support. But make no mistake, this limited edition - 1000 pieces only within Australia and New Zealand - will have overseas watch collectors begging to get their hands on one.

Bold, blue, masculine divers watch. If you have ever thought of starting a Seiko collection then this watch should be a corner stone. I am not going to say much more, but there are three things I am extremely excited about:
1. The hands and dial colour scheme.
2. The fact that the watch was made entirely in Japan.
3. It comes with both bracelet and silicon Seiko masterpiece strap. 

Model reference: SPB347J. 45mm case size. Automatic movement. Water resistance 200 metres. 

Boutique price: $1,500
Eucalyptus
The most amazing turtle you will find in the entire Seiko collection. Limited edition Australian release of only 1000 pieces. 

Model reference: SRPJ53K. 45mm case size. Automatic movement. Comes with both metal bracelet and silicon strap. Water resistance 200 metres.

Boutique price: $895
And let me tell you something you won't find on watch forums or hear from so called horological promoters (still wet behind the ears). Back in the 70s when Seiko diver watches started featuring the relief motifs of a tsunami wave on the case back, owners were so amazed with this never before seen feature. Actually, only one Swiss brand had a similar relief on a divers watch - a mark of water resistance - and it was the Certina Turtle. Seiko owners were asked to take their watch off the wrist so that the wave could be admired. 

A Seiko case back should never be taken for granted.
