Seiko SPB455, SPB453, SPB451 - perfecting the formula?
1,071It’s often said that evolution can be better than revolution, but I don’t think many people could have predicted Seiko to make a move like this. It was only four years ago that Seiko released their SPB143 and variants to immediate success, basing the design on the original Seiko dive watch from 1965. Now, this new line of SPB watches has rendered them effectively redundant, tweaking the design in subtle ways to retrain its character but improve its performance. Seiko have definitely taken some risks, and time will tell if they pay off.
