In isolation they look a little dull but as a collection they have something about them – but can they go up against the mighty G-SHOCK with its bright colors?
In addition to the existing looks on offer - choose from black and white, navy blue, grey, stealth black on black or all-white.
Refs. SBEP015 (navy blue), SBEP017 (grey), SBEP019 (black on black) are Limited Editions of 500 pieces of each.
SBEP011 and 13 have a Japanese MSRP of 26,000JPY+tax while the LEs are little dearer at 28,000JPY.
Powering the Fieldmaster Digital is a Seiko Solar Caliber S802 which has an operating time of approx. 5 months from fully charged and a power reserve of approx. 20 months. It is accurate to within ±20 seconds per month.
Functions include: power save, three-channel daily alarm, timer / stop-watch, world time with 44 cities, dual-time zone and a sound demonstration function.
The case measures: H49.9mm x W49.5mm x D14.1mm with a lug-width of 21mm and a weight of 80g. The case is fitted with a turning diver’s bezel, case-back secured via 4x screws and 200 meters of water-resistance.
Thoughts? The Seiko brand has considerably more cachet than Casio, but I’m not sure that G-SHOCK has anything to worry about as they are still very much the dominant digital beater.
Personally I find the new analog FIELDMASTER a very good-looking watch. How about you?
