2020 New and Upcoming Releases!

[Stretch44]

I dig the PB155J1. I'm such a sucker for blue...

Seiko is hitting it for six lately

[PetWatch]

The last three, SPB15xxxx are my pick of the lot, classier Alpinist look.

Interested in the 6105 if its not too thick
New smaller 62's look great
Pass on the faux alpinists

I'm actually quite a fan. I think 2020 can do without a compass module that just incorporates more unnecessary moving pieces.

That being said, I wish they used different hands.

Looks like a Alpinist + sarb033/35 mashup
Good looking watch but just feels wrong to me

Just looks like a generic field watch... Except with a really undesirable hour hand. (Imo)

I guess all of those Seiko Prospex models being announced all at one time was a mistake. They are no longer on the Seiko website and Plus 9 Time has removed them as well, citing a press embargo. It seems a little late to try to put the toothpaste back into the tube but Seiko is gonna try apparently. So only 4 of the blue Prospex divers are actually still up on the site. See the announcement of the 4 watches HERE. So the only remaining semi-affordable one is the SPB149J1. SBDC107 is the alternative reference.

I think people will mostly appreciate having the option for a Seiko diver at this size. Below are the other two variants that are no longer up. I'd love to see some real world pics of these.


SPB147J1



SPB145J1



Edit to add another one that I really like and I think will be popular. SRPE37K1 King Samurai. There will be no shortage of complaints regarding the cyclops but Seiko still won't have any trouble selling these.

Maybe the plan was to release the limited edition first, then when those orders come in, they announce a non-limited variant to make people cry.

As per successful Seiko model, likelihood of having multiple variants in the next year+ is also likely. PADI variants are essentially guaranteed.


Also below is a pic of it on Djokovic's wrist. Looks very nice.

Thanks! I've never shopped on RGM, and never used a forwarder. The RGX fee calculator estimated $13, which seems reasonable to send something to the other side of the world.

Ordered one - let’s see what shipping comes out to be. Also seems like these are pre-orders at this point.

One store said it was expected to ship at the end of March. I suspect I'll forget I ordered this and be pleasantly surprised when a watch shows up sometime in April

No surprise watches for me. My order was canceled yesterday with no reason given and it doesn't seem to be available anywhere else. Guess I'll have to wait out the inevitable second hand market markup.

Got a Timex email about a new limited edition Snoopy watch.

Lucky you! Our most refined everyday watch meets our favorite Peanuts pup. We updated our versatile Timex Standard—pairing the silver-tone case and black leather strap with our pal Snoopy on the dial to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

I like the free email better than the $99 watch.

I just came across these. I don't know much about them but I believe they were released only in Italy, in January 2020. They are available on Chrono24. Using Google Translate:

LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL EDITION
CRYSTRON PROTOTYPE: THE FIRST IN THE WORLD.
In 1974 Citizen changed the history of watchmaking forever by presenting the Crystron Prototype, the prototype of a solar powered watch that started the development of clean and renewable energy technologies. Citizen reserves to the Italian market a limited edition SPECIAL EDITION (750 pieces) of the 1974 Crystron Prototype which was never marketed

FEATURES
Steel case, Milan mesh bracelet. High thickness mineral glass. Dial with solar cells in radial arrangement (as in the original prototype) in view. Equipped with the latest generation Eco Charge winding movement. WR 5 bar. Case diameter 38 mm.

There are 3 variants:
