And then there were three.... the latest Seiko 5 military
I came across this today and I had to have one since I already have two. Unlike the earlier Seiko 5 military-style which is a measly 36 mm in diameter, shown in beige and black in the photos, the latest version is a whopping (for Seiko) 42 mm wide with 22 mm lugs; it is the green dial. And at the equivalent of $95, it is eminently affordable. Like the earlier version, this is available with green, blue, black or beige dials.

good value for money spent on these ones ... a 42 mm now? ... interesting ... . Cheers, Filip...
Offset Crown?
I've noticed that many of the Seiko 5's have the crown at 4 o'clock, any idea why? A
Common feature
Though I have no idea why they do it. On divers it makes a lot of sense as it keeps the crown from digging into your wrist. Otherwise, I think it's just styling. The only differences in the movements for crown at 3 and crown at 4 are day/date wheels.
Nice catch, SJX!
Will you be switching out the current strap for a leather one to match the other two Seikos in your post? One of my favorite things about my Seiko 5, which I also notice on yours, is that the calendar displays Sunday in red typeface, as opposed to the bl...
price is USD 95 , is it ?
Nice Seiko, and very reasonable price , it seem Swiss watch is over price .
beige version
I love the beige face/brown strap combo. Did you purchase that as is or add the strap later on? If the latter, where can I get both!
I bought the strap later
I can't remember where I got the strap though. PM me if you need a source for the watch. - SJX This message has been edited by SJX on 2010-03-24 21:33:29
same watch?
Is this the same beige watch? The color in this photo looks a bit lighter than yours. Any idea if Seiko changed it with a new version?...
You know what they say about great minds... (nt)
