seiko spc007p1 replica

Just a few days ago, that the Seiko A829-A6019 was one of the ‘other’ watches that went into space. Besides the official Omega Speedmaster Pro and a bunch of other ‘unofficial’ watches that made it there, it seems that Seiko was at least selected by astronauts.Former astronaut Wubbo Ockels mailed me the other day, that the Seiko A829-A6019 (and he also wrote there is a ‘A0′ behind this reference number) was selected by a couple of astronauts and they arranged a nice procurement deal for this specific type of watch. Furthermore, Wubbo Ockels emailed me the serial number of his specific Seiko A829-A6019 (which he still wears): 334602.Perhaps a Seiko collector or owners of the Seiko A829-A6019 ‘Astronaut’ can look up their serial numbers and see how far they are ‘away’ from the one that made it into orbit.Make sure to visit the over at WatchUseek.

TweetEmailWe previously wrote about Seiko's innovativeSpring Drive watches,and I'm personally a big fan of theirMarinemaster Spring Drive diver.At the annual Baselworld conference, Seiko announced the long-awaitedSpring Drive chronograph. Unfortunately, it's a 300-piece limited edition, with an exclusive price of�5,500 (about $7,500).There's a lot to like about the Seiko Spring Drive Chronograph and its design,including:Glide motion movement, meaning all hands move completely smoothly, not in "ticks". Titanium case and bracelet.GMT (24-hour) hand.12-hour chronograph (the only glide motion chronograph in the world).72-hour power reserve indicator.Date.See-through sapphire caseback.Deployment clasp with push-button release.Water-resistant to 10 meters, or about 30 feet. I've always liked the idea of the Spring Drive movement — primarily for its superior accuracy, and its completely smooth motion — and now that it has been enhanced with a glide-motion chronograph, I'm extremely intrigued. Hopefully, this technology will move out of the realm of the limited edition and into the mainstream very soon. By Paul Hubbard
