I was surprised to see this hands-on review this soon. Spoiler alert - the reviewer very much likes the idea of the watch and what it represents for Oris but he is unimpressed by the level of finishing.

Thinking of buying this watch, but goes completely against my MO of buying low.

Can anyone from the future chime in how much the price has dropped?

---

Someone on WUS is claiming their jeweler is selling for $590. Suppose I can wait.
🚀🌌 🤖 Due to an error set my watch, I am from roughly 5 minutes in the future. That probably doesn't give me much of an advantage when it comes to price prognosticating. However I pay fairly close attention to Hamilton prices. Nothing I have read so far seem to indicate that these are in any way limited in production. And the 33mm size will likely temper the demand somewhat. So my best guess is that after a few months time these will dip below the $500 mark. I think in 6 months they'll probably be around $450 or lower. Also, I'm just adding the links on Hamilton's site as they were not up at the time of the news releases.

Perfect. Those were my thoughts exactly. Given the popularity and proliferation of the Khaki line, I would be surprised if Hamilton suddenly decided to constrain supply.

Personally, I love the size. I have an SNX427K1 (36mm) and an SGD449P1 (37mm) both of which I'm very fond of, but have been hoping for a new release in the sub-38mm range. This new Hamilton hits all the marks for me except for price.

Liberty collaborates with Zodiac to create a special edition of the Swiss watch brand’s iconic Super Sea Wolf timepiece – sure to be an instant collector’s item, the watch will be hand-built and crafted in a limited run of just 30 and delivered in time for Christmas.

Founded in 1882, Zodiac shares Liberty’s long-standing commitment to both heritage and cutting-edge design innovation – a philosophy encapsulated in the re-issued Super Sea Wolf watch, whose face and three interchangeable straps are inspired by our magnificently timbered Liberty emporium. The case uses Swiss-made ETA 2893-2 automatic movement and a universal Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) tracker to ensure hyper-precise, high-functioning accuracy for up to two different time zones simultaneously. Custom engraving on the caseback is tailor-made for gifting, while the three customisable wrist fastenings ensure the watch is versatile enough to accompany you through everything from formal events to the most adventurous excursions. To honour the passing of time, the Liberty x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf comes with a lifetime warranty, meaning it can be passed on as an heirloom for generations to come.

This limited edition is now available for presale, with an expected delivery date of mid-December. After ordering and completing payment, our team will be in touch to finalise the personalisation. Please see our terms and conditions for more information.

Hope this doesn't become a feared "Limited Edition" and take it beyond the realm of affordability.
Seiya Japan lists following colorways and model numbers which could possibly change too

SBDC091
Green dial + Brown leather strap -- 75000 Yen

SBDC089
White dial + Black leather strap -- 75000 Yen. Poster going by the nickname Amphibian on an Italian watch forum has a good name for this one. - Albinist :lol: can check it here https://orologi.forumfree.it/?t=76944276

Link to the Seiya blog post below. I'd probably be interested in the white dial. If they upgrade the price, hopefully the strap gets an upgrade too....something useable at least.

I wonder if there will be any dial changes to the green or if it'll essentially look the same but with a different movement. I'm wondering if they're going to decorate the movement at all, given the display back.

It's twice the price, so are the changes worth it, or is this just Seiko trying to go up market? It'll be interesting to see.

I can already predict what'll happen. It's going to be the Seiko Monster all over again. They upgrade the movement and will slightly change something on the dial like the indices and colors. It'll be more money than the original. It will sell out everywhere just like the Gen 3 black monster. Then a year later they'll make a new version in different colors and downgrade the movement but keep the price. Because that's exactly how the monster has gone.

What I really want to know is whether I'll be able to get an original for less than $400 again.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I still want to try out a MM200. Everyone says they wear much smaller than the 44mm size. I like this one but I'm guessing this will be more than I want to spend. The colors make me think of the new green Aevig Huldra. If the IG post below is correct, it is reference SPB109. It lists some other info too.
