Seiko's next EPD watch, SDGA011?

Post22 Aug 2013, 19:51

I've read that Seiko is going to release their next EDP watch soon, namely the SDGA011.

It looks similar to SDGA001 with buttons on the side, but I still have no seen anything about what graphics will be used for the display.

Anybody have seen the screen shot of the display?

Thanks for the heads up.

Here's a listing I found and one on ebay which lists it for $1,200 US though. Apparently going on sale September 7th.

Looks nice, I like the font of the digits in the photo, it's one of only 200 being made and in my opinion a little to blingy with the diamonds in the SDGA011 version. I like the angled button placement though on all four corners and the sharp angles on the crystal. I like the style coupled with the standard display, which would be the SDGA007 model. The SDGA009 has the new font display and is in black, without the diamonds and is the first photo below using the roman numeral font. Looks pretty cool to me as well, I just don't go for diamonds on my watches :-D

I'm under the impression it doesn't have many other "faces" like the other EPD offerings from Seiko, aside from the SDGA007 version which uses the same EPD styles we're more familiar with, if anyone can find out more on these please let us know. Below is the Roman numeral face SDGA009.

Active listing on Ebay for it.

The SDGA011 with it's nice diamond encrusted top and bottom edges.

Here's a link to SDGA007 and 009, from Seiko Japan site, which uses the new styling. and the SDGA011 which is the anniversary limited edition. http://www.seiko-watch.co.jp/p_search/detail/do.php?no=SDGA007

Looks like a a better quality SBPA003 ,same module ,better quality case and glass,possibly slight display differences.I think overall they will struggle to better the original SDGA001, although the refresh is a little slower,it refreshes the single digit rather than the full display (it does this ,but only every 10 min) Unlike the sbpa models that refresh the whole screen every 60 sec.
I prefer the SDGA, funny how the originals are always the best :?:
