Now with an updated Seiko “5” logo

Supposed to be 20+ new variants

Here’s a few -

A no-date would be nice.

These look cool and can be a huge hit unless seiko now believes SKX watches should cost $500. How's the pricing on those?

It says retail price starts at €280

I really like the military green and blue ones but wish they had regular lume instead of the vintage faux patina lume.

These look cool, but if I'm not mistaken these are 100m WR, so not really a one to one replacement for the SKX. Maybe the SKX really is being discontinued now, and I guess the NAFT takes it's place as the entry level diver?

Oh, and Hoppy, if they did make a no-date I'd buy one instantly. At lease they didn't put a cyclops on this.

Edit: confirmed it is only 100m WR, but the movement is being upgraded to the 4R36, so there's that. I'm glad I have my SKX. This actually prompted me to wear it today.

No bezel pip? They remind me of the skx031.

Dig these two. Any info on the movement these will use?:

If these are in the Seiko 5 lineup I'm assuming they are not ISO rated divers? Also word "divers" does not appear on dial?

Looks like it uses the same style lume pods as the SRP's. Not sure about the lack of a lumed bezel pip.

That's an excellent point, it'll never happen.

A different font for every single place that it’s used on the watch. That really bugs me.

These look like a nice upgrade, wish Seiko would step out a bit though, experiment with some different hands, especially the minute hands.

These are nice. I’ve wanted to get my oldest (13 yo) son an automatic and these might fit the bill w discount.

Yeah, wow, these look really impressive, and they even did change up the
logo which I know a lot of people didn't care for.

..Seriously, wouldn't
even think these were Seiko 5 watches without that emblem.

They look so refined, and there are so many eye-catching variations !

Thanks so much for the news !!!

The new 5 logo is much better than the previous one

Way way better - good for Seiko for changing it.

They will sell a ton of these.

Confirmed by Worn and Wound there’s no screw down crown on these. Maybe not a SKX replacement after all
