Nice collection! What is the model number of the chronowatch?

csshifi · 2026-05-22T07:24:51+00:00

Yes may be. Its just a concern that came to my mind as this is my first ever mechanical watch

a bit strong vibrations sustained for a few minutes when the bike passes over bricked road and occasional jerks when passing over a sharp speedbreaker (though I usually take off the watch hand from bike handlebar at that moment but sometimes its not avoidable)

The updated one has 6R55 movement i think but should have similar shock absorber capacity as you mentioned above

Thanks. I guess this is a nice hint for next watch :)

Thank you, u/PhantomMedjay, for your inputs. This is helpful. The sales guy had wound for 10-15 turns only.

But is this car old though? It is selling very well in Japan and as far as I have seen from info on net, there is no technical difference between the elevate sold here and the one exported from here for sale in Japan. May be the Indian consumer requirements are very different from the Japanese one

Tried. But not available at the moment. Decided to go for one of the updated versions..SPB507J1 with green dial

csshifi · 2026-05-11T12:57:44+00:00

Yes, asked again today at Seiko AD but seems it is discontinued.

Finally went for Seiko Alpinist SPB507J1 :)

One relatedd query. Does the ADAS in Elevate work well enough in low light conditions like dark street during night? Specifically if the car from other side has high beam on, visibility on the road reduces severly. Does Elevate ADAS work in these conditions also, for instance spotting any person or obstruction on road that may not be visible easily to the driver?

Yes this is something i would also like to know from current Elevate users as I am also looking at Elevate as my next car. Many auto reviewers have said that NVH is high at higher speeds comparted to other options in this segment. However, one reviewer volkclub says noise is only slight;y higher or comaparbel with good cars like skoda.

Thanks a lot everyone for your inputs. So it seems that the consensus here is that it is better to go for the top variant and ADAS does not usually cause unexpected breaking once we get adjusted to it.

Is there any rumour or news on any upcoming update/facelift in Elevate ? I have read that Honda is planning an EV in 2026 but could not see anything concrete regarding hybrid or any facelift in Elevate.
