2019 New and Upcoming Releases!

[yinzburgher]

Unfortunately I don't have much information or sources to cite for this, but there has been a hint/leak/speculation that a Presage re-issue of Seiko's 1964 Tokyo Olympic Chronograph may be in the works. An original is pictured below.

Well this was not what I imagined. Seiko has released two new limited edition automatic chronographs to commemorate the milestones of 50 years since its first wrist-worn chronograph, which coincided with the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and 55 years since its first automatic chronograph, the caliber 6139.

Take the Prospex X and Presage off those dials and they become instantly more likable... until you see the price.

I love the look of the 29. But yeesh. And I thought 6138-8020s were getting overpriced.

So somewhere way upthread we talked about the Model Two, a compressor style watch from the British startup Alkin. Remembered today I hadn't heard anything about it, even though I thought I signed up for his newsletter. Anyway, here are pics from his facebook. Didn't dig to find out when these will be available or at what price, but I like the looks:
