I’ve been looking at homages of the marine master and the 62mas. I came across this- it doesn’t seem to be available yet or in limited localities.  www.loruswatches.com/Watch/RL455AX9 It comes in about 5 variants. Looks like it will be available soon in a few places. I was going to just get one- but it’s still about 130 euro. Might wait till they come available. But heads up they may be popping up. I think it’s cool that you could have a really cool watch from Seiko’s beater brand. |

They have some nice looking styles. No info about whats under the hood. Maybe their target audience isn't bothered by the technical stuff. Saw an older (2018) looking Seiko styled chrono, no doubt a quartz but again nice retro design.

Y676 movement, so basically a 7S26.

I like the rubber straps on them. Certainly better looking than the stock SKX.
Is it a screw down crown? That would be a plus.
A nice piece for not a lot of money.
In addition to Cam's pictures, there's also a black/red insert variety with jubilee. And a green one which is actually my favorite.

Hmmm... Given the position of the day/date window on the dial this looks to be a very big watch. Does the bezel rotate?

Nice looking watches, the only problem with the lower price, Alba,Lorus etc is the straps seem to disintegrate in short order- not a problem if it's a regular fitment, but many have unique straps.
Alba also do some really nice dress style Y676's.
