This watch looks good, but it's nothing special. I just got the Alpinist, which has a level of pedigri on its own. It's one of those Classic Seiko you should own. This conceptual watch tho, offers very little.
I'd much rather go for the SKX007J, which has so much history in itself.
Also pointed out by others already, the date makes this, not so much a Dress Watch. nice none the less.

ThisdaleI agree. Good looking with the white dial, but large dominating face and crude looking case and crown head do not match. Rather ew... unsophisticated for a dress watch.

wontonLooking down at Seiko is probably a popular sentiment, but Japanese timekeeping actually has a pretty storied history. Seiko actually dates back to the 1890s; their advances in the 1960s, both in their superb mechanical movements and their release of the first quartz wristwatch, really took the horological world (especially a complacent Swiss watch industry that had bet on the interesting-but-less-practical electromechanical tuning fork technology) by storm. Seiko's models from this period are really quite collectible. Today, people are thrown by the fact that the Seiko name covers a wide range of markets, with watches that cost as much as an expensive lunch to those that are priced like cheap houses. Seiko definitely has a pedigree as interesting as most Swiss brands.
