Managed to pick up this special edition Seiko SRP653K, a commemorative watch for the 50th Anniversary of Seiko divers. The first Seiko diver, the 6217-8000 was released in 1965 and since then, Seiko has released many iconic divers based on the latest watchmaking technologies that were available through the years. Many of these divers are “world first” so to speak.
This special edition diver pays tribute to the shrouded divers, a design that is unique to Seiko. Here is a quick photo review.

I don’t think it’s a misalignment, I think it is the angle of the camera and the watch.

Very beautiful time piece..Is the shroud made of plastic or metal?

I believe it’s metal with ceramic coating.

The case back is SS; the shroud is ceramic. It says that on the SS back.
This SRP653(blue) is a great looking Seiko, very accurate, also.
