solid link bracelet with brushed finishes and slighty polished on the inside, the endlink are still hollow. i must say im impressed with bracelet quality, brushed finishes feel soft and chamfered nicely. it is nicer than other seiko bracelet from my experience (samurai and sea urchin). deployant clasp is okay i guess, clasp design is so small. from the pict it is the same model as from the ssc183 The watch is fitted with the precise in-house caliber 6R15, which boasts a power reserve of 50 hours. Seiko discontinued the SARB033 in late 2019, which drove up demand and prices for this watch. In December 2019, you could have called this timepiece yours for roughly 460 USD; in January 2022, the same watch cost approximately 900 USD. The Spirit collection also includes a line of sporty chronographs with quartz movements. The watches belong to the SBTR series and are powered by the caliber 8T63. The chronograph function in this “meca-quartz” caliber is realized via a mechanical module, while all the other functions, such as the time, date, etc., rely on quartz technology. The Spirit collection has taken the ongoing 80s cultural revival into account with a series of watches with LCDs. These models include the Spirit SBFG001, for example, which has a brushed stainless steel case and, in addition to the time, also displays a second time zone, perpetual calendar, up to three alarm times, and a chronograph accurate to 1/100th of a second. Thanks to a radio receiver, daily deviation is minimal, and a solar module provides sufficient energy.

The latter model was the watch Sigourney Weaver wore while reprising the iconic role of Ellen Ripley, which is why the 7A28 7000 is known as the “Ripley.” The most striking feature on this timepiece are the start and stop push-pieces, which are housed on the top and bottom of a rectangular case extension on the right side of the otherwise round case. In addition, there are plans to sell iPad and MacBook case handmade from material representative of the Nishijin-ori used to make Japanese kimonos.
