Still looks like a Seiko?
Playing with the strap selector one understands more about the case head in isolation
Gone are the angular end links that some suggest rappelle Seiko or Zenith Defy

Circling back
Looking at this again. I believe the only way I’d enjoy this watch was if it was on that shark mesh or some kind of textile strap. These two options, as you have illustrated, bring back a much more desirable Omega case shape. Versus the bracelet, which ad...
