There has been a big shift from major brands
over the past few years to rerelease modern remakes of vintage watches,
or vintage ‘inspired’ watches. Quite frequently they just end up being a
copy, paste of a vintage matte dial Rolex with a few subtle changes or
just a reproduction of an older model with a modern calibre for an
exorbitant amount more than the original watches retail price.
This Seiko offers that nostalgic vintage feeling that everyone is after, but without taking advantage of it.
It features their classic SKX style dive case with a black bezel but
with a twist on their usual design; An off white chapter ring, crème
coloured hour markers and hands set this watch apart from their other
dive watches, but my favourite part is the shimmering deep grey dial
that catches light in just the right way. It comes on a mesh style
rubber strap and to top it off, it even has an exhibition case back.
This isn’t just a simple vintage recreation, this is a modern classic, all for the price of a couple steel Rolex links.
