New Seiko Release for the 60s Presage

This is the newest model in the 60s range of Seiko Presage, with power reserve indicator and a sub-dial for the date at 6. It's classy and sporty at the same time. Price: 670€.

I quite like it! 

Any thoughts?

Very intersting piece. A bit dissapointed though for the lack of saphire crystal and the choice of a 4R movement instead of a 6R at this price range..

Yeah, it's a looker, but sapphire would have been better, I get you 👌🏻

I love it!! going to send my AD a text to get me one!

Also reminds me of these..but I like the date indicator is at the 6 and kinda makes it more proportional

You're right! So are you gonna buy it? Or you will first check it out in person, and then decide?

If my AD can get it I’ll just have him order it for me.

Very cool!  Seiko are just killing it!

I prefer the original version without that big sweeping PR indicator.

Not a fan of the date dial - near impossible to read without 20-10 vision.

IMO they tried to fix something that wasn't  broken.

I'm with you on this.  That is a sweet original Presage.

Although I gotta admit, that subdial date is kinda cool too.  😎

I love the look a lot but wonder what that bezel is meant to time with a 50m water resistance

The bezel is fixed in place, it's a throwback to the original model but not really a useful bezel. Some people are bothered with that, but since I like the aesthetics and I'm not diver I don't really mind. But, I get your point, we are watch nerds and little things gets us pissed... 🤣

I like yours and I like this one too! Each one offers something different within the same Seiko range

The only one I don't like is the open heart model, I can't stand open heart watches...

I want to like this, but that date subdial...with the numbering not "level" I guess...it feels wrong. I can't unsee it. I understand why they did it, but I think they could have done it nicer.

I get you, imagine this same model with small seconds at 6, same PR indicator, but just 3 large hands and no date 👌🏻

Really cool, love the minutes/seconds register on the black bezel. But I think I like the original one posted above even more.
