Based on link a re-interpretation of Seiko's vintage reference 6105-8000 these link new Prospex models are all built upon the same 41mm steel cushion case featuring Seiko's Super-Hard coating with an inset crown at four and a closed steel caseback. Thankfully alongside the easy-wearing sizing we find a reported thickness of 12.3mm and a lug-to-lug of link 46.9. Compare that to the SPB143 40.5 x 13.7 x 46.5 mm and you have the thinnest Prospex re-interpretation to date.
What really seems to bug enthusiasts a bit more than just link a date window is a date window with an eccentric placement and nothing seems to generate more ire that a 430 date window. Why this is the case I don't know. The date window has to go somewhere and while a 300 link position is the most common it's not link necessarily the ideal place to put a date window depending on the movement and dial design.
But what I really love about this is the decision to keep the watches at a size many would consider to be too small by contemporary standards. I link mean who makes mass-produced 37mm link watches at this price point anymore link Few brands to say the least and my hat is off to Seiko for the respect it's paying to the well-loved SNXS line.
In short if you've experienced the 5303 a dive watch I continue to really like the 8315 feels like a direct evolution both in terms link of link dial design aesthetic considerations and general on-wrist experience. Like its deep-diving sibling the 8315 GMT has minimal dial text no Serica branding a legible layout plenty of lume and link no date display.
Starting at 2180 link for a U50 on a rubber strap and topping out at 2940 for a U50 S on a matched black bracelet also fully Tegiment treated the U50 range looks simply incredible. With zero "fauxtina" or vintage inspiration an excellent and thin case size and the specs for a true tool dive watch this is one link I simply cannot wait to try link on. I've loved the U1 for a long time but sadly never had the wrists for it. Now I don't have to.
All that to say link there link were some big watch moments at last night's Grammys. link We covered one already and of course we'll have to get back to that but let me just start with Luke Combs seen above with Talking Watches alum Ed Sheeran.
The link Model No. 2 is delivered on a nine-row bracelet similar to that seen on its GMT. It's thin 2.6mm supple link and tapers nicely from 20mm at the lugs to 16mm at the clasp. It's also worth commending Lorca for that clasp. It's milled thin and well-executed link a noticeable improvement over what larger brands are prone to stamping out at this price point. It also has a no-tool micro-adjust in the clasp an improvement over the Model No 1's bracelet.
Pricing for the Sinn T50 starts at 3840 on either a rubber strap or the bracelet get the bracelet and add the textile or just go NATO. link The two-tone GBDR is 4370 on the textile or 4670 on the bracelet or the rubber. Finally though link it is long sold out link the T50 Goldbronze LE topped the range at 5760.
Jimmy O. Yang is link a watch guy through and link through something you can sense pretty quickly when link you watch his work. It's easy to spot the red and blue bezel of his Pepsi GMT a watch he says is his favorite to wear when performing stand-up and the G-Shock he personally selected for his catfishing character Josh Lin in Love Hard.
It's taken me a while to become a Speedmaster believer. Last year during my Week on link the Wrist with link the white lacquer dial Speedmaster I recapped my evolution from incredulous to inquisitive. Now you could say link I am downright obsessed. The Omega Speedmaster "First Omega in Space" or FOiS released last October feels like a game-changer for me.
