mineral crystal afaik

Boring, with no interesting features.

maybe it's just me but I think that a diver watch should be legible under water, especially the elapsed time, this is more of a nightclub watch

I think the finishing will be just fine in the production watches, it's in his best interest as you never have a second chance to make a good first impression. 16 days after the debut and with 14 days to go, almost 600 watches have been booked. I bet 800 watches will be booked by the end of...

I just cannot digest the transocean series I wish seiko would offere their true gmt mvmts on simple quartz watches

400 watches have been booked in less than a week, showing that there's far more interest in titanium than most people think (sadly very few micros are offering grade5 ti watches). I have five ti watches and would love to rerplace the ss watches I have with ti watches.

Hamtun sold 250 watches in less than 24h, so much for those that do not believe in ti watches... OK, price was incredible, clearly a loss leader to gain awareness for the brand, no one could run a company selling watches at that price...

Maria, if you decided to make a titanium grade5 version of this watch, how much would be the upcharge?

Instead, I'm confident that STP will offer soon a GMT movement with the quickset or the hour hand. They know it would be a winner, so they'll do it. And the Borealis GMT will have such movement. Great!

beautiful but at that size and weight should be grade 5 titanium

without a rendering and a price how can we commit?

I quote this 100%. I did have a Steinhart with the stupid ETA 2893 and sold it, totally useless when traveling. I do hope that Seiko will be smart enough to do it as they did with the SUN Kinetic.

My Dragon:

The depth rating is now 4000m which is fine, otherwise I would have suggested a finesse, 2200 fathoms. Personally, on such a massive watch, I would have loved drilled lugs and shorter lugs, with a slightly concavity in the case, so to perfectly fit small wristed people and avoid any visible...

fantastic pictures good to see someone freediving, seems like a lost art...
