Dang Those look pretty damn good
Haven't really been too enthusiastic about any of the newer automatic chrono's Seiko has done, but this has a pretty solid vibe.

They both look good, particularly the 55th anniversary one button chrono homage. For $5.5k AUD, I hope the bezel isn't plastic though :-)

Very nice, but no way either will be getting added to the Leffe Collection!

Didn't Seiko release a watch nearly identical to the 50th one a few years ago??

Stunning watches, but not for me.

Thanks for posting these announcements.
The 8R48 is an amazing Chrono. I had one but sadly sold it. Tremendous button tactile feedback and gorgeous finishing. Quite tall.
Too bad they went Panda when and if they take out a few sundials and go Pogue inspired I'll be there at the Boutique to place a pre-order !
