Seiko's New Presage Sharp Edged GMT Now Available..

This one will be hard to ignore..the question is, what color(s)?.. :problem:

Seiko Presage Sharp Edged GMT “Aitetsu” Ref. SARF001

Demonstrating exquisite Japanese craftsmanship and a rich heritage of fine mechanical watchmaking, Seiko unveiled their latest GMT offering to the Presage Sharped Edge family of watches, incorporating its signature hemp-leaf textured dial and a beautifully crafted angular case that has become a distinctive hallmark of this enchanting collection. Things get even more exciting underneath its impressive appearance with a full-fledged “true GMT” automatic in-house caliber, truly conjuring up the spirit of adventure for jet set travellers.

Seiko caliber 6R64 automatic GMT movement

The Presage Sharp Edged GMT “Aitetsu” Ref. SARF001 is driven by the in-house Seiko caliber 6R64 automatic GMT movement. Being a “true” GMT movement, the GMT hand can be adjusted independently without hacking the second hand, a feature truly appreciated by frequent travellers. Speaking of the second hand, the 29 jewel movement beats at a smooth 28,800 BPH (4Hz) while providing a substantial power reserve of 45 hours. The exhibition screw-in caseback allows for a view of the exceptional movement, this also equips the watch a considerable 100m of water resistance.

I think Seiko should be applauded for producing a "true GMT" at a very accessible price point, although I do think they've overcooked this one a little with the addition of the date sub-dial and PR indicator.

Look forward to seeing what else they release with this movement in future.

"True GMT"? Not by my understanding.

The description refers to adjusting the GMT hand without hacking the Seconds hand. Isn't that what you do on the ETA 2893-2 / Sellita SW330-1 used by CW in their GMT watches?

I thought that a true GMT movement allowed you to adjust the Hours hand independently.

I saw that in the email. I think it's a typo. I checked the various watch blogs when they were announced and they all said hour hand can be set independently. Love Gnomon but sometimes stuff gets lost in the translation but I cut them slack because it's not like I could put something together in a different language.

This Seiko GMT allows the users to set hour hand forward/backward while the second hand still ticking. The date can only be changed after setting hour hand passed midnight. No quick date set.

Different hour hand / GMT hand mechanisms serve different purposes of the wearers.

I feel you’re being a little optimistic for changes to this movement. This is the geometry of the 6R64 calibre which has been around for a few years, although only used previously about three years ago in a couple of JDM Landmaster releases.

WRT the posts above it is a true GMT. Complete with the ‘feature’ of a non-quickset date...
