I agree, Armis, the original Laurel was cool indeed ! Would've been even happier, had Seiko rendered the SPB359 even more closely to the original (and if Seiko had dropped the "Presage" print, which I kind of dislike througout the range).
The strap configuration was needed, I believe, to hold what was essentially a modified pocket watch with loops, instead of lugs, attached to the case to hold the strap.
Enjoying Sunday with a neo-retro vibe here.
Wishing all of you an enjoyable Sunday as well! ...
Is this the Hatorri limited edition for the 100th anniversary?
I love the unique bund strap. But your version is a little different.🤔 Source: Seiko website ...
Hi Armis, thank you for posting this variant.
Quite cool as well, but I couldn't warm up to the balance between the dial's size and the size of its numerals and hands.... I believe it was introduced a bit later, perhaps last year. I seem to recall that one of our members owns one.
Thank you, Larrykelley11! Yes, the strap does come with the watch.
This model was one of many that Seiko released a couple of years ago to commemorate the co.'s 110 years of making wristwatches and is an homage to its first wristwatch, called the Laurel (which also had that type of strap).
Thanks for clarifying. Its original Laurel is very cool. And I found your version…
its model SPB359. I do indeed like yours better given the size and other features.
