Seiko released two vintage style models using the 7S26C last year (links at the end of this post). This year, they released a few more variants based on the two models. These variants come with different dial designs and straps. There are also some minor differences which I shall highlight in this post.
Dial:
– Arabic numerals
– minute chapter ring appears flat, making it look like a layered dial
– solid hands compared to skeleton ones one the previous model
Previous model:
Side profile:
– Drilled lugs (not found on previous model)
– crystal is slightly curved
Previous model:
Notice that the minute chapter ring on the previous model is not flat.
The rest are pretty much the same except the strap. Here are the pictures.
Diameter: 44mm excluding crown
Lug width: 24mm
Lug to lug: 50mm
Thickness: 11mm
Water resistance: 5 Bar

Was trying this out at the store a few weeks back. It looked good on the shelf, but it didnt’ quite sit right on my wrist. i think it may have been due to the stiff leather seiko strap. I’m trying to visualize it with a different strap- it may find its way into my drawer if I could only think of a color/material combo that works. Nylon? Stressed thick leather perhaps? hmmmm….

I think the leather is quite stiff. Need time for it to break in or change to a softer one.
