At least it's not a double-length day date cyclops
And they have matched the dial colour to the date disc on the titanium ones. I got used to the cyclops on my 6R15 Monster, also with matched date disc:
The Prospex X I was never too pleased about. The place for that, should it have to be anywhere, would be the crown.
Seiko's Diashield works well. My Astron has it, and I'm impressed by its endurance. And everything else to be honest. Detail, quality and finishing is Grand Seiko comparable. A WIS secret at the moment.
Minus the Prospex X, and one of Seiko's excellent quartz movements, I'd probably be all over these latest divers. I get the Prospex branding as an idea (everyone wants a line like "G shock", where the brand carries frequent updates) but the execution is a little off for me.
But considering the pedigree of Seiko with respect to dive watches, the overall quality on offer, and in-house everything, these autos still appear very reasonable compared to other offerings from other major competitors.
