Seiko Prospex Landmaster Alpinist Spring Drive Watch
Those of us who coveted the limited edition, super-expensive Seiko Spacewalk watch have a new hope. Check out the Seiko Prospex Landmaster Alpinist SBDB007. The Spacewalk was beautiful and desirable, but extremely expensive at $28,000 for the consumer version.
Seiko Ananta Urushi Watches
Now these watches are a bit more of what I think of when someone says to me “urushi painted dial.” As a follow-up to the Ananta Urushi Diver from last year, Seiko has released two new urushi watches for 2012. This time they remedied one of the principle issues of last year’s limited edition urushi watch. See those red stripes on the Ananta Limited Edition Kumadori Chronograph dial?

There was not a lot of new Ananta action this year from super Seiko.

Seiko Astron GPS Solar Watch Hands-On
Forget that it is 2012 and pretend like it is the early 1990′s. The time when electronic wrist gadgets were super cool, and the next neat Casio was sure to excite you.

Often times, many of the designs are very sober and classic – less wildly [...]
