Now if they don’t fuck up the case might be cool!

Yes, thanks so very much Steve ! :o :) :salute: Had not actually heard about this.
Leave it up to Seiko to wow us yet again, and to be the first in something so
cool. 8-) 8-) Yowza, and they even used a couple different materials like
titanium, and ceramic here, and there. Not to mention created new coatings
to combat friction !

Remarkable Steve. Thanks once again !!!

When the Japanese turn on the screws, they can produce some outstanding engineering marvels. Like mentioned above...don’t F&&k up the case!

That’s an incredible design and I’m sure it will be extremely expensive.

They will probably stick it in a 52mm dive watch.

I've seen mention of Credor being involved as well. Seeing as the hands are small and on top of the dial, I expect a artsy case of some kind.
