I actually saw the #white #flightmaster on eBay a week or so ago for about USD$200 but the bezel was seriously beat up. Currently an SND255 is near the top of my list of acquisitions.

But finding one with a minty #bezel is proving difficult.

Now the All Nippon Airways Flightmaster(s) are interesting, with the airline's acquisition of a fleet of Boeing 777s each stocking one of 3 or 4 variants:

Going back, there are the ones based on the SND255

And the #solar version

Plus the various #worldtime versions and #fliegers 😜

If we know anything about #seiko it's their penchant for #reissues and/or "reinterpretation"... With that in mind, how about a #prospex #speedtimer with flight computer bezel?

Seems totally legit!

Stainless, two-tone with green bezel!

I think they lean into it quite well and are one of only a handful of modern watchmakers still supplying to the military in limited numbers.

Kudos to a fellow #seiko 7T34-6A00 #flightmaster owner!

I've got the SNA414 (as opposed to your 411)

Don't forget the #pulsar flight #chronographs either!

^ This!

Definitely scratches an itch and is so much nicer than a certain plastic model recently released.

In the space of 110 years...

Seiko has commoditised the wristwatch...

By combining Japanese engineering...

And mass production...

And the occasional aesthetic flourish...

Bringing high-quality horology...

To the people!

Meaning their vintage pieces are just as good today as their new ones.
