Some impressions ...

I bought this Izul a long time ago, in 2009, at the Seiko Boutique in Paris.
It was my very first Spring Drive chronograph.
I don't know how many pieces were produced, but probably very few.
I'm not surprised you can't find one, it's a very rare animal.

The Izul is a terrific watch.
From my point of vue, it has all the DNA of Seiko chronographs : column wheels, magic lever, vertical clutch, ...
The shape of sub-registers hands is a legacy from the famous mecanical Seiko analog chronographs.


The Bullhead pushers, are also a legacy from the famous 6138 series produced in the 70's.

Without any doubt it's a big watch, but it perfectly fits on the wrist.
It's not so heavy (thanks to titanium), very comfortable on wrist due to a nice shape (lugs are not symetric).
Here is a picture from a detailed review in french I posted a few years ago, on a french forum ...


This Izul can be wear every day, at the contrary of the rotating models which are even more bulky.
IMHO it's the best chrono from Seiko.
