Here’s another Prospex model that was released recently. This one is powered by the 4R35 movement (date only) and comes with a compass bezel (non-click). It is not exactly a new model as it was released earlier under the Superior line with a different dial design (See link at the bottom of this post).
For the Prospex model, the date window shows five continuous dates instead of one. The hour markers are represented by minute numerals (05,10…etc) instead of the usual 1,2,3 or straight bars. The case design looks very much like the Monster in my previous post but it is actually a bigger watch with a 44mm diameter.
Here are some pictures of the SRP577K.
Diameter: 44mm excluding crown
Thickness: 12mm
Lug width: 22mm
This watch is distributed in Singapore by Thong Sia Company and has a listed price of SGD464.40 inclusive of GST. Please note that price shown here is for reference only. Please do not contact me to purchase.

I like the macro shots of the watches. May I know your rig in terms of camera and lens used? Appreciate any information. Keep up the lovely shots 🙂

Hi
But in the macro shot it says 4R35B. Whats the difference?

When the movement is first introduced, it is 4R35A. At some point, they made a slight improvement or change (not sure what is changed) and called it 4R35B. For simplicity, I just call it 4R35.

I think Skymonster is the better name because the design is more of a pilot’s watch. \o.0/

I think people call it Landmonster because of its compass bezel. Really look like a pilot watch though, especially the Seiko Superior model.

The dial reminds me of the airspeed/mach indicator in some older (1950’s and 1960’s) USAF jets.
