I have the special edition, the black one, and it's a stunner. By the way, in chrono mode, you can manually switch to time mode and back to chrono mode by pressing the mode button again, the chronograph will run in the background. At first, I wanted the second hand to work in time mode as you mentioned, but after a while, I love having just the hour/minute shown, different from my other watches.
I'd find it difficult to describe just how Jealous of You I am right now!.. :D I'm going to HAVE to at least TRY to get one of these at some point, I think they're Fantastic.
Likewise. I for the black Budapest one #467. The tenth of a second chronograph hand is literally hypnotic. The 100th of a second one looks like a helicopter blade. Also when it switches to chronograph mode and the dials do that instant spin it always makes me giddy. Only quartz power (solar though so no battery 😊) I own, and somehow one of my favorites.
It’s bonkers, but I love it! I’m a sucker for tenth of a second sub dial on a chronograph so to have not only tenths but also hundredths of a second on an analog display chronograph is really very cool ⏱️ Fantastic show as always MWC and it’s so cool that Seiko themselves sent you this watch. Great to see such a prestigious brand working with you 🙌
I’m definitely not usually a fan of this type of watch but I imagine people that worked for Darma in the tv show LOST would’ve worn! Makes me think of the little egg chair Will Smith sat in Men and Black and also my gas meter! But it’s so cool!!!
My favorite Seikos are the RAF Gen I and Giugiaro SCED043 but I really like this one and the one that inspired it. Hard not to love Seiko when they come out with stuff like this.
I absolutely LOVE your mini shows about watches. I will continue to watch many videos about watches I am not interested in (and some that I am) for pure entertainment. Thank you for your fantastic work good sir. Greetings from Texas.
Without seeing your comment I was thinking those pushers are so long they make the watch look like a dalek. Exterminate…exterminate…exterminate. Wish I could fire a death ray out my nose, maybe out of the watch.
I bought one in the Seiko store. Wasn’t planning on it, but this is a very impressive watch. Bit too expensive but the combination solar and the 1/100 of a second is just different. Also I think this one looks better than the limited edition versions
I was put off when noticed the second hand wasn't aligned properly, a Seiko trait it seems, ive a 80s Seiko crono and its spot on,and my two later ones are slightly out, so when i wanted a daily watch for work, i got a Citizen titanium eco drive, its spot on 👌. 👍
The pushers just scream, "Sputnik!" Too 1957 for me. Although, the dials are "totally rad, dude". Honestly, cool watch, but I cannot handle those pushers. They remind of me Betty-Jane Werkowski's ears back in high school.
Looks really cool but I think it's just too expensive for a solar quartz, no ? Anyway, this is probably one of the best looking chronograph ever. Seiko really did a good job with this. Daytonas look boring next to this ! Also, your channel is probably the most interesting of them all. Amazing work 😊
Love the look of this, for the money they could have put a nicer bracelet on it, seems the same as my Seitona.. and that second hand should work in time mode.. but it is VERY cool, I will be adding it to the “buy it if it is available on a decent deal” like H Samuels 20% off
@@deepb249 You will need to have the capacitor replaced. If unworn they tend to go since it requires constant charge and a minimum voltage that lowers the longer you don't wear it.. That was the big down side to these watches. A watchmaker should sort it out for you in a heartbeat! Have a great day bud!
Absolutely sensational whizzy stopwatch functions. I'm not totally enamoured by the overall design, but it's a fabulous tool. Pricepoint is spot on with a discount code hehe. Great that there's a milled clasp, but pin and collar at that price level? Not so sure. 8 out of 10 for me ... Great review
SEIKO, what can i say? i own 2 rolex, 1 omega, still my best one , is the seiko srph81 wound X worn, special edition... a killer, frederic from PARIS, FRANCE, love and support the channel, always.
I’ve gone all dizzy watching those hands wizzing around 🆘. Something different and a bit cheaper than the Zenith, not sure if I need one as my wife cooks my eggs, I could buy it for her 😉
mate your so lucky to have the Seiko man on your side i watched your episode about the Seiko rerelease of the SRPK 17 so the very next morning i visited mi ol mucker that has a watch and jewellery shop at 10am he called his contact and would you believe it they were all sold out and i mean he couldnt get one from anywhere gutted i tell ya a 55th aniversary edition on my 55 year on this spinning wonder of a planet would of made the year the decade even . i wonder if this one will sell out so fast ?. keep on ticking mate all the best
I almost bought this watch. I was this >< close...but, I bought the Seiko SSC911 Prospex Solar Speedtimer with the silver face dial. It felt more practical to me.
Great review Russ! That watch is just cool! Definitely not my style (I'm simpleton, I'll freely admit!), but great to see something a little off the wall coming from a big brand. First the 1:1 reissue of the Seiko 5, and now this! Some fun things coming down the line from Seiko these days!
It's pretty kool but I love for Seiko to bring back the Pogue, the Bruce Lee Speedtimer or the Speedtimer Roger Moore wore in a View to Kill. 100p like the originals with no unessarsary changes
Not a fan of chronographs as I think they are just too busy. But the way this one is laid out, it's easy to read. And I agree about the seconds hand. It needs to be moving. First and foremost, it's a watch so.. be a watch, right?
Very steam punk looking for me , a watch Jules Vern would wear , reminds me of a ww2 sea mine with its buttons ! I'd go dizzy watching the 100th a sec hand spinning !😅
Damn. Missed the premiere. Well in any case, as a huge sucker for chronographs, this is nuts. Damn near everything I want and nothing I don’t… no 24hr dial, no date function… just the core chronograph functions I’m looking for. Though the lack of running seconds is a bit disappointing. When I get back to. having a proper full time job, this might be one I’ll keep an eye on. Killer show Sir!
10 years ago Victorinox came out with a 1/100th chronograph that is also a perpetual calendar, and you can switch between the chrono and the time on the fly. It's called the Chrono Classic 1/100th.
Not for me but love that feature where you can 'quickset' the hands. I have an old Gshock ani/digi and the only way to set the time (for summertime adjustment) is to hold the set button and waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. It's painful so yeah, that quickset is great forward thinking. Damn though, that right dial could take someone's eye out if it broke loose 😁
only reason to put this stunner off for the non-functioning second hand while regular time keeping. It's a shame to pass this one as Seiko could've surely added that basic criteria of a watch. As always, brilliant presentation Russ. Carry on!🙋
It's out of my budget, but what a watch! I'm absolutely stunned, really retro looking, really modern touches! The only complains (except the price!) are: -the lume is just... meh. I hope it will last longer in the dark, for that price I expect a bright pair of hands 😊 Yeah, I don't want to use a chrono in the dark, but at least I hope to read the time... -the bracelet is sooooo anonymous... A 5-7 links, even shiny, could look better on that monster. At the end of the day, even if I can't have it, 4 monkeys out of five! Good job Seiko! And good review Russ! 🐒🐒🐒🐒❌

Seiko Kinetic hack: Wrap in a sock & put in your clothes dryer, no heat /fluff. The bouncing will charge the movement for weeks/months
Sweet!

Love the "what the wife said" segment
If Daleks wore watches - I’m pretty sure they would like this one
Hahahaha
Also reminds me of the old parking meters you had to feed coins into. Those buttons also make it look like a spanner.
We may have found the new nickname for this: The Seiko Dalek.
It reminds me more the Cybermen actually.

It’s all aligned my friend just the camera angles from what I can see
I AM SEIKO STOPWATCH READY!
I like it, but when the chrono is running I feel like I'm in a plane that's going down... :) Mayday!
Hahahahaha
I don’t have any Seiko watches but soon I will
That thing is mental! 🤣 Kind of giving me Giugiaro vibes. I really like those 90s designs as well Very cool offering from Seiko.
Very much so !!! It would certainly make my collection look a lot more interesting!
It just reminds me of a dogs/cats paw and I can't get past that 😵💫
Man you are killing me, I just got the SSC813 paid for, then here comes your happy a** showing me this!
That SSC813 is a really nice watch though. 👍
Sorry Mark!
Honestly love this watch

These are absolutely NOT my cup of tea, but I appreciate their history and that others will enjoy them.
Cheers Mike
I like pin and collar actually. It takes the wear of link rotation and isolates it to those replaceable parts.
Here here
My pricey Grand Seiko has pin and collar too. 😁
Looks cool, but really needs a running second hand on the clock dial.. hmmmmm
I wished there was running seconds for the clock mode.
Wow, I'm glad now that I managed to swerve a Kinetic watch
Looks really cool but I think it's just too expensive for a solar quartz, no ?
Anyway, this is probably one of the best looking chronograph ever. Seiko really did a good job with this. Daytonas look boring next to this !
Also, your channel is probably the most interesting of them all. Amazing work 😊
My wife and I occasionally skip right to the end so we can hear what your wife says. Then I watch the rest of the video myself. Segment is that good!
I really like this watch. That 100th of a second hand is mental!
Absolutely!!
If that was made in Japan I'd definitely have one of these.
Want one!!
Very smart and cool. I can almost hear people saying where’s the date complication.
Reminds me of the motorcycle headlamp clocks, back in the 60s, very sporty
Yes!!!!

My first proper watch was a Seiko Kinetic so I have a soft spot for them but sadly I messed mine up. This is pretty nice!
I have kinetic I haven’t worn in 20 years it has stopped what should I do?

Yes Paul!!!!
Gimme that same button layout, but in a a more conventional dial and subdial layout, and we'd have the 7A28 remake I've dreamt of
I like the intro music for these videos. It's a real mood perk up.
Thank you my friend

so the very next morning i visited mi ol mucker that has a watch and jewellery shop at 10am he called his contact and
would you believe it they were all sold out and i mean he couldnt get one from anywhere gutted i tell ya a 55th aniversary edition
on my 55 year on this spinning wonder of a planet would of made the year the decade even . i wonder if this one will sell out so fast ?.

You are far too kind my friend!
It looks like the bracelet from the Seiko speed timer SSC 911 I’m looking at mine and it seems identical

It’s the Gmd s5600 a smaller G-SHOCK square . Look last week for the show!

Is it just me, or is that bracelet the exact same as on the speed timers (SSC ???)?
I have the Panda. It is super cômfortable and stunning on the wrist. I’ve been collecting Seiko for years and this is a favourite….it is very cool.
Incidentally, Seiko makes quartz chronographs with clicky pushers. I have a 6t63-00d0 that does it.
If I had spare money and spare slot in my too big collection, I will get this one. Just so unique and cool. Thanks MWC
They could made the hour hand tells the elapsed hours on Chrono mode, instead of overlapping with the minutes
I love this chanel... really makes my day..
Love you watching my friend
Could have used a date window either to the right or left of the hour dial. Plenty of room.
Love a no date;)
Beautiful watch otherwise ⌚️
Hahahahahahaha "science watch"⌚️🧐 Top🔥💯💯💯
I believe the movement or rather module is unique to this specific line of watches.
Oh yeah I'm really liking this! It's a bit sci-fi but a bit Spitfire cockpit n'all 🤣🤣
bulova precisionist has an quartz analogue stopwatch that does 1/1000 of a second and a second hand that sweeps like a spring drive
I don’t know why I bothered now…… BULOVA WINS!
Reminds me of my Citizen Promaster SST with the three top subdials. To be honest I prefer that look to the ones here. But interesting nonetheless.
Very steam punk looking for me , a watch Jules Vern would wear , reminds me of a ww2 sea mine with its buttons !
I'd go dizzy watching the 100th a sec hand spinning !😅
Hahahahaha it needs that click!!!
Nice watch. Wish it had lum on all the dials and made somewhere else besides China 😂
Awesome review! This is the watch Dr. Emmett Brown should have used in "Back to the Future" 😲 I'd love to get one, but it's just a bit too expensive.
