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.
SRP359K
SRP361K
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.
