Yup. Has a flat bottom, too. Edit: Molle has the best pics I've seen up until now: http://instagram.com/p/BgoiuqDgbyv The angle accentuates it a bit, but you can see the SLA025 is a bit beefier.

Nice as those reissues are, at those prices I'd much rather just get the originals. Never really been a fan of retro stuff when the real deal can still be had.

Seiko has announced the Save the Ocean collection where part of the proceeds from the sale of this collection will be donated to the non-profit Fabien Cousteau Ocean Learning Center. The unifying feature of the series is a textured dial with a blue gradient. Baselworld 2018 Releases - Prospex Save the Ocean
There are a couple of solar tuna models that seem to have mostly slipped through the cracks at Baselworld as they were not in the official press releases. These are a little larger than the previous JDM solar tunas and the increased size makes the design feel much more balanced. Baselworld 2018 Releases - Prospex Solar Tunas

I dig this "Ti-Ni" solar tuna...doubt it's titanium nitride, though. But still cool looking.

As listed in the specs Case: Stainless steel with black hard coating and gold color coating. Still for a list price of β¬420β (so should retail under $400) you can not really complain too much.

Orange Turdle finally! Get rid of that ugly ass cyclops, and put on a 777 bezel insert and it's a winner.

New pic from ( @seikowatchczech ) Basel 2018. We can see the two reissues, the SLA017 ( 2017) & SLA025 (2018). The SLA017 was of my point of view a killer when I saw it for the first time in a nice video and after in live ...but when you compare the bought on the pic you can already feel the Presence , nice proportion & sporty elegance of this futur killer AKA SLA025. π₯

SPB077 & 079 Approximate recommended retail price in Europe: 1,100 Euro (SPB077) / 900 Euro (SPB079) I must say I rather like the SPB077, even the big hour hand. Not sure if I prefer this to the SPB051, but one of these might be in my future at some point. 6159 re-issue is of course beautiful too, but too rich for my budget at the moment..

The 077/079 are the pick of the bunch for me. Lets hope they are free of alignment issues.
Edit : I also rather like the SRPC91! I generally don't go for textured dials but that looks nice.
