Wtf. Too much tentical porn at seiko HQ. It's rotting their brains.
Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
I like the tunas but not these.

Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
I actually don't mind em, and like that they are solar. Good beater at that price point
Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
I'm not a buyer, but I like that Seiko is doing this. A smaller, thinner Tuna would be nice with similar dimensions.

Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
^ that one is cool, but they should've matched the bezel font color to the dial font color

Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
These are the only two I'd consider. Agree the bezel font color matching the hands on the 2nd one may be better.

Not bad-ish... would be kinda curious to see what one looked like with the shroud removed.

Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
Some of these models are very nice. Well done. I've been thinking that the "field watch" segment seems relatively neglected, compared to divers and aviation pieces. Few dive, and fewer fly planes, but many, many more of us spend time outdoors. I hope these sell well.

Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
I have always liked the idea of a thinner Tuna - Change the hands and I'm on board.

Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
I could have sworn I've seen that dial somewhere before....
I dunno....It's like the Seiko Field Tuna got its inspiration from Hamilton ! The dial layout resembles the Hamilton Field Khaki Titanium and the hour-minute hands from the Murph watch of the movie Interstellar

Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
As with all the new Seiko models, the design gets more gaudy IMO. Here is my Fieldmaster from the 90s. There were 3 variations of dial color, if I recall. This one was titanium and slim....should have kept it!

Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
These look like a Tuna fucked a Khaki Field

When I asked him why he picked Japanese he answered
"Sushi, and tentacle porn. Mostly tentacle porn."
I still laugh to this day when I remember it.
By the way this one is not too awful, especially considering its smaller than a regular Tuna.
Anybody know if the shroud is metal?

Re: New Seiko Fieldmasters
These are supposedly as cheap as $340. If so, that seems like a great value. I might buy one for my daughter to play with.
