Seiko Silver Dial Titanium Men's Watch SGG603

I've owned this Seiko watch for approximately 2.5 years and had to replace the band three times. I think the watch itself is great, however if you have to replace the band that often, then it's not a good deal.

Seiko 5 Black Dial Stainless Steel Black Rubber Automatic Men's Watch SNZD23J1

I love Seiko Seiko 5 pieces, and this one did not disappoint. I ordered the silver, and it looks just like it was made of diamonds. Her quality never fails, and her designs are always of the type that do not go out of fashion.

Review by Donna L, From Australia Port Kembla

The 49er Class renewed its reputation as the most exciting class in the Olympic regatta with over 130 boats competing for the 18th European title in a final day of theater-style racing that drew big crowds to the Helsinki shore.

In the lead up to the event, attention was focussed on the rivalry between the leading Australian crew of Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen and the New Zealand team of Pete Burling and Blair Tuke who, between them, had won the last five World Championships and whose rivalry will be renewed in the next America's Cup.
These two crews were in first and second place going into the final three races. The New Zealand crew raced perfectly all day, while disaster struck for the Australians in the form of a broken wire and a capsize that pushed them back down to fourth place behind the leading European crew from Germany (Erik Heil and Thomas Ploessel) and the British team of Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign.

In the 49erFX Class, the Danish team of Ida Marie Nielsen and Marie Olsen went into the three Grand Final races just a point behind the New Zealanders Alex Maloney and Molly Meech.

The next stop for the Kiwis and many of the other top teams in the 49er and 49erFX classes is Rio de Janeiro for the Olympic test regatta next month, followed by the World Championships in Santander in September.

Seiko has been the Class Sponsor of the 49er Association since 2007 and to presented Velatura watches to all the medalists. After the award ceremony, the Class President Marcus Spillane said, "With Seiko as our long term class partner, we are able to push sailing forward in ways not possible without their support. Working with Seiko gives us the profile and ambition to take skiff sailing to new heights, including our live broadcasting packages and format innovations. They are truly a wonderful partner."

The new Astron caliber 8X82 shares all the core characteristics of the hugely successful caliber 7X52. Using just the power of light, it connects to the GPS network and tells time with atomic clock precision, adjusting at the touch of a button to every time zone on earth. In addition, the new caliber offers four new features that have been developed in response to ideas suggested by retail partners and customers worldwide. The new caliber does not replace the current one. It is an addition, designed to attract new consumers to the fast-growing world of Astron.

Its case size is 30% smaller, and the watches' dimensions ( 44.6mm × 13.3mm) are now the same as most mainstream multi-function watches. This new size has been achieved by a new advance in Astron's energy-saving technology which allows the watch to connect to the GPS network with a smaller antenna. The simple 'one-touch' operation of the GPS function has not changed; just press one button for six seconds and Astron's GPS function is activated. However, the secondary functions (manual time zone selection etc) have been made more accessible and more intuitive thanks to the new electronic setting function of the crown. The classic Astron black dial is available in the new design, but new color dials are now possible, thanks to a new dial with extremely high light penetration capacity. For 2014, blue and white dial versions are available. The new caliber offers a 6 hour chronograph whose operation could not be
more simple.

The new caliber is offered in eight new variations, four in steel and four in titanium with super-hard coating. In addition, a flagship Limited Edition Astron is presented at Baselworld 2014. Featuring a titanium case with super-hard coating, white dial and faceted ceramic bezel, it is both recognisably Astron and yet distinctively new. It is offered with both a titanium with super-hard coating and black ceramic bracelet and black crocodile strap, making Astron as versatile as it is unique. Just 7,000 pieces will be made in this Limited Edition, each with its own serial number engraved on the case back.

It is possible to consult the 8 different versions in the photo gallery.

Chronographs have a sporty and dynamic look which make them so successfull with men, but also, with women. Halfway between a classic watch and a sophisticated instrument of measure, these timepieces offer an irresistible something more... even if one hardly uses the chronograph function.

Masamune Date. The ultimate daimyo
Even among the many remarkable daimyo's, or regional barons, of the early 17th century, Masamune Date's is an outstanding story. He fought his first campaign at the age of 14, he succeeded his father as daimyo at 17, he founded Sendai, one of Japan's great cities, and he was the driving force behind a sea-borne diplomatic mission that reached as far as the Philippines, Spain and even the Vatican City in Rome. As a warrior, he was as merciless as he was successful and he was renowned for the distinctiveness of his armour. His Samurai helmet was topped with a large crescent moon emblem and it is with this most distinctive look that history remembers him today. Masamune Date's crescent moon helmet is the inspiration for the new Ananta chronograph.
 

The refinement of lacquer. The innovation of a new color
The dial of this new chronograph is a perfect expression of Seiko's dedication to ultimate refinement and innovation. Each dial is painted by hand by Isshu Tamura, a noted artist and expert in the Kaga Makie style of lacquer, but it is the colors that make this watch unique. The dial itself is a deep blue, a color never before achieved with lacquer and it evokes the richness of the night sky, against which the crescent moon, also painted in lacquer, shines brightly. The effect is stunning; a combination of power and serenity that is the perfect visual metaphor for the richly varied life of Masamune Date.
The state-of-the-art 8R chronograph
Inside this new Ananta creation beats Seiko's finest mechanical chronograph caliber 8R28. It, of course, has a column wheel and vertical clutch system for precise operation and also incorporates Seiko's unique three-pointed hammer which ensures the perfect synchronisation of the hands' fly-back. The beauty of the color on the dial is perfectly visible, thanks to Seiko's proprietary antireflective coating which eliminates 99% of light reflection, even in bright sunlight.
This new Ananta chronograph is offered in a limited edition of 300, each with its own serial number engraved on the case back. It is part of the Seiko 100th anniversary collection, which celebrates the centenary of Seiko's very first wrist watch, the Laurel, created in 1913.
