As part of this year’s novelties, the Japanese giant announced a series of four modern re-imaginings of its first ever dive watch, the 1965 62MAS. 2020 seems to be the year when Seiko has recognized and broken that cycle for good. About a year later, the brand will unveil a more modestly priced general-production “re-imagining” of the same watch, with some dramatic alteration that disrupts the flow of the original design, be it a completely different handset, new markers, a changed bezel design, or another stylistic change. First, the brand will release an extremely faithful limited-edition reissue of a given classic timepiece, priced near the top of the model range.

S eiko has wholeheartedly embraced the idea of reviving classic models from its back catalog in recent years, especially its classic dive watches but, as a general rule, these releases follow a pattern.
