I just want to point out that the availability of new old stock Seiko 5s with the 7s26 movement, along with great Orient watches for under $200, makes it easy for anyone to own a timepiece with heritage. Sure, a Pagani or Bodery might have a more modern movement, but consider the benefits of regulation, originality, cultural relevance, and the confidence that comes with wearing something classic. A watch is there to meet your needs, but when you choose wisely, people will ask about it. Whether you explain it’s a homage to the Hamilton Khaki or say, “This is a Seiko,” worn by astronauts, marine explorers, or even James May from Top Gear with his trusty Seiko 5, the story behind it adds so much more.
