This is an extremely attractive Seiko!
Yes, I am wearing a quartz watch as well, my trusted Breitling Emergency II.
As promised yesterday - after a battery change offensive, more rarely seen Seikos - starting with the SCED031 👽🇯🇵
Or to give it its full name: the ‘Seiko SCED031 Spirit Smart ‘Bishop’ Re-issue On Time Limited Giugiaro Quartz Chronograph’ - for possibly one of the longest model names in watch history 😁 This morning I was attempting to do what the watch maker failed at...
Perfect touches of red in dial.
I can relate to frustrations of sizing bracelets just right.
Somewhere between purple and pink…
Don’t remember if it was referencing Alien or On Time - the limited edition retail partner 🤷🏻♂️ As for sizing, I lack the small hammer needed and some sort of contraption to keep the watch fixed during manipulation. I can do straps easily enough but this...
Oh my, those are fuchsia colored hands, and pink markers. I didn’t look close enough.😳
The bracelet is ceramic or DLC coated steel? I was curious how the watch maker broke a tool on that, unless perhaps they are sensitive tools for ceramic pieces.
I believe it is metal…
But I am not sure he knew exactly how to approach it. Nothing a YouTube video wouldn’t have told him about it but it was a busy period and not sure he’s encountered this watch ever before (hardly anyone in Europe would have) 😉

Very interesting Seiko. The splash of colors are well done and a custom strap would be cool!
The case appears to sit up high on the bracelet or is that an optical illusion ?
Actually…
It’s flush with the lower part of the case but the raised part (same thickness as the rotating bezel) raises it above that… let me see if I can take a better picture of that…
Some years ago the Alien watches (Seiko & Giugiaro design Genf the originals, too) came out…
This one was a JDM only model together with On Time. Makes for a fun quartz watch, actually and I really like the Giugiaro design touches. Has a comparable feel to the Lip Mach 2000 series 😊👍🏻

Now that’s a Quartz 🦾👍🏻🛩️
Really like the Emergency - was such a cool idea and impressive that they executed it in a wrist watch 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for joining in 🙏🏻
