Seiko SRPK61 Details??
Found this Seiko while looking through their Presage lineup but cannot find any further details about it. Even doing a Google of "SRPK61" yields no results, not even the Seiko page shows in the results.
Biggest question that comes to mind: it says 'Chronograph' and yet there's no chronograph pusher. There's a photo referencing the 1964 version with a pusher, but does that mean this one's a regular 3-hand, ticking seconds hand, watch? It is just designed after the old chronograph?
If any other details can be found, would be appreciative of a share.
Thanks

It shows as a Jan 2024 release, so... More to come, methinks
By "chronograph" it's referring to the original 1964 Crown Chronograph that this is an homage to. However, this has a 4R35B so it's strictly a 3-hander. Any "chronograph" functionality comes from the bezel which looks like you can rotate (it was bi-directional in the original 1964 Crown Chrono) to the seconds hand to time a minute. For a proper chrono in this style, look for the SARK015/SRQ031J1, which was released for the 55th anniversary of the Crown Chrono.
EDIT: Turns out you can't rotate the bezel. That was only for the 55th Anniversary one.

Thanks! Makes sense. I think the listing itself is still a bit confusing. And yeah,looking up the SARK015 and it's the same. Imo too bad they didn't do a one pusher chrono like the model referenced.

They don't have a monopusher movement anymore. Even for a company like Seiko, it's probably not feasible to do a new movement, especially for just a Presage. Maybe if it were for a Grand Seiko or Credor.
