I've never seen this before and I have a few pre-Prospex Seiko Solars. It's kinda interesting because black/silver isn't a common cw. The 360 video thing is kinda nifty

I kinda want it because older Seiko Solar models are more varied and interesting than the current solar range which is basically Tuna, mini Tuna, Arnie, Sumo, Speedy, and a diver can't remember the name.

    It looks nothing like a Speedy. Not every 3 subdial chrono is a Speedy clone

    iirc Brietling beat Omega by a few years anyway, so an Omega Speedmaster is a Brietling clone

    The subdials aren't even in the same configuration as a speedy lol. What are the similarities…?

  Got this a couple of years ago for $244, also from Amazon. But given inflation, it's probably about where the price should be.

  There's something about this one that screams "shirt with flames on the bottom"

  Also, read the first review on Amazon. It's cursed!

      What are your thought on Seiko solar vs Citizen solar?

      I've never had a Seiko solar but I get the feeling Citizen have a better reputation with their Eco-Drive models.

        Seiko don't seem to care much about improving their solar movements, or expanding thier range. Only complications they have is day/date, chrono, and GMT which only happened recently with their GMT Sumos. But replacing the battery/capacitor is pretty easy if you have the tools and know what you're doing. Cost me $40.

        Citizen Eco-Drives have had GMT for ages, like I don't think it'd be hard to add and extra hand but Seiko only did it this year and they sounded so proud in the press release. Additional Eco-drive complications/functions that I know of:

        GMT/World time/12/24 hr Time
        Perpetual Cal
        Radio Control
        Sensors like altitude and depth (there's prob more)
        Compass
        Alarms
        Countdown timer
        Power reserve indicator
        Low power warning
        Longer power reserve

        That's off the top of my head, there's probably more.

        Eco-Drive >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Seiko Solar

  Have a number of both. Citizen solar much better than Seiko by far. There's absolutely no comparison.
