Seiko Izul - any spotted recently?
Some 6 years ago Seiko introduced a fascinating sub brand - Izul. As far as I know it only contained four models - SDAA001, 003, 005 and 007.
Forevsta made a report about it here when it was launched but I have not heard / seen anything about it since.

Any owners here or anyone who has handled one? I am really fascinated by the SDAA001 and SDAA007 models with rotating cases, one orientation for the time, another to use the chrono. Making it a bullhead, too. And a Spring Drive chrono is a cool thing in its own right, irrespective of the case 
Would be curious to find out more...

I've never even seen one
But you can tell by looking at the dial that they rotated some of the functions in the movement, so it isn't just a cosmetic shift. Mike
The dimensions seem somewhat daunting
At 51mm x 14mm but then it\'s titanium and relatively light. As for moving the functions, Seiko are nothing if not dedicated when it comes to their premium lines The layout seems a 180 degree rotation of the later Space Walk Spring Drive (with buttons and...
It is indeed
The whole watch rotates on the lower end of the case, meaning you wear it turned the way it is in the picture normally and 180 degrees rotated when using the chrono. Technically the function you are using gains prominence that way. Curious myself how well...
Yes it could be nice to try one in Europe... or at least here in Switzerland but I think it will be hard :-(
That is boring because this watch intrigues me a lot. Best wishes Alkiro
As it is no longer in production...
Even the Boutique in Frankfurt will be unlikely to be able to help. But I will ask when going there next
Going there in September
I did a post on the Seiko boutique recently. If you like unconventional the Landmaster certainly qualifies - large but somehow curiously appealing. And great for climbing Mount Everest
For Mont Blanc you have an easier to find...
Dedicated brand Not sure they make a mountaineering watch, though
In principle correct
At least if you can amortise the movement and / or case, otherwise such a LE may well go beyond a reasonable price...
