Saw a new Seiko 5 model at H2 Hub this afternoon. This model is powered by the 4R36 movement (day/date) and has water resistance of 100m. It has a very unique crown guard design.
The model above is the SRP363K. Here are more photos and variants.

Here are some shots showing the crown guard.

In fact the hour / minute hands are like the SKZ stargate series , nice new 5’s IMO .
I’m normally a fan of crown guards but that one has been worked over with “the ugly stick”. That’s a deal breaker in my book. Too bad because I kind of like the white dialed one, ‘cept for that plasticky looking bezel ring.
This wtach has a “either you like it or you don’t” kind of design. 🙂

The hour hand looks like the one found on the sumo.
So is the minute hand.
Nice. A signature of Seiko. I think not much of new design, its a mixed of previous models and twist of colours. Probably fits for new Seiko collectors and die hard fan.
The bezel reminds me of Sinn U1 🙂
Like the white face model, presumable antimagnetic??
It is antimagnetic. Look out for the inverted ‘U’ symbol in the last picture.
