They look great, but what is this going to do to the Monster line? These 5's blur well into Monster territory with size, looks, and movement. What will the price be?
NEW Seiko 5 Monsters!
Just got an email from yeomanseiko with regards to the release of new Seiko 5 'monsters'!
My first impression is: WOW! Raised lume dots, big 'peaceful-looking' indices that are well proportioned (look at the 3 o'clock lume detail!), 4r36 movement (hacking & handwinding)!
God i can already imagine the nuclear lume these will output..
Not 100% sure on size.. looks slightly bigger than the current Monsters (maybe 44mm?). Yeoman lists diameter to be 47mm including the crown.
I wish the case was brushed and not polished.. and that the bracelet had solid end links; but i guess they can't make a Seiko 5 too attractive that it'll knock out some of their higher end lines.
Here are some additional specs:
Diameter: 47mm including crown
Thickness: 13mm
Lug width: 22mm
Lug to lug: 49.5mm
Water resistance: 100m
I think it's pretty safe to predict that these will inevitably earn a cult following.
What are your thoughts?
