That being said, this is a rare opportunity where you could acquire a watch filled with Asaoka's design considerations and ideals for 150,000 yen (inc. sales tax, approx. 1,080 USD link at the time of the launch), link which is the lowest price point ever from the brand. This is an attractive proposition for someone who is into vintage watches but hesitant of wearing them regularly, as well as someone who is just link simply budget conscious.

This release does signal something interesting: Seiko is experimenting with turning the Prospex 1965 & link 1970 Diver’s Modern Re-interpretations link into an entire platform and taking it in all sorts of directions. When it was just the SLA033 and SLA017, no one was sure if an "everyman" model would follow. Then Seiko delivered the SPB143 and SPB153, but it link still wasn't clear if we'd see more.

To me pilot's watches evoke the fantasy of freedom in a way link that other watches can't. As we learned from Top Gun sometimes you have to do the link job the traditional way. This weekend we're looking at stories about high flying pilot's watches that remind us how magical taking to the link sky can be.
