Seiko Ananta Spring Drive Chronograph

Seiko-ananta-baselword-2010.jpg

The Seiko Ananta Spring Drive Chronograph was introduced last year, so this is not a 2010 model. However, during Baselworld 2010 was the first time I had a chance to see it close-up. It is a good looking timepiece, and it could easily be mistaken for a watch costing thousands more. The bezel features a black PVD treatment, and it's fully polished. The case sides, lugs, pushers and crown are a mixture of polished and brushed steel. The case is 46 mm x 15.8 mm thick and has fairly large pushers, so it looks pretty big. Although, the case is well designed, so it does not feel uncomfortable on your wrist.

Here is a shot of the new Concept/Limited Edition watch from Seiko, the Spring Drive Spacewalk. Very cool name and some very impressive specs, especially the case that is 53 mm L x 48.7 mm W. Hit the jump for official press images and for a lengthly but interesting press release. I visited the Seiko booth a few times during the Baselworld show and did not see this watch displayed, so I am guessing they are still preparing it for production. Check the specs below:

Moving Design Discus by SEIKO

Here are two versions of the Discus from the new Seiko Japan Moving Design Collection. These mechanical watches have a three numbered discs that continuously rotate to display hours, minutes and seconds. I like the smoked glass version the best. I have heard you can find them on eBay for $899, but I have not been able to find any available in the US at this time.
