The old expression ?When it rains, it pours? often refers to the sudden piling on of bad news. But now, in this very strange spring of 2020, I hereby move to reclaim this often heard phrase as a sign of abundance of things that are good. Exhibit A: the flood of recent release news from Seiko, a brand that we?re seeing more than ever is really listening to their customer base, and seemingly giving them everything they ever wanted, whether they realized it or not. We?ve covered a number of recent Seiko releases that seem aimed squarely at the forum dwelling and Instagram ready enthusiast, including the recent relaunch of the famed Capt. Willard and a trio of divers meant to evoke the Japanese watchmaker?s most classic forms. Today we?re looking at two sets of releases that go back to the well in the best way possible, making classic vintage inspired designs available to the masses at friendly prices.
