      It's a jacket. Sample that never made it to production because we had massive issues in the wabash factory for a while......

        It's beautiful! Your standard CPO buttons plus zip; what's not to like?

              This is not mine. It came across my desk when @Giles sold(?) it back in Feb 2020. Wish I'd bought it now 🙄

                Credor, which is Seiko's top brand, has just released a reissue of the Seiko Locomotive. This was a seventies watch designed by a certain Gerald Genta.

                Credor Locomotive

                It's been upgraded from the original with a titanium case and automatic, rather than quartz, movement. Production is limited to 300 pieces.

                The asking price is $12,000 / €14,000, and Monochrome has more details, and there's a longer article at Hodinkee.

                  Not my favorite but what a bracelet. The chamfering on each link is beautiful.

                  Think it, be it.

                    Those Credors are probably beautiful in person. But man the integrated bracelet stainless steel sports watch has become so played out. I feel like every single brand has their own version of the Royal Oak.

                      To be fair this is a reboot of an old Genta design so it carries some legitimacy.

                      Also the integration is hanging by a thread compared to those models. It’s very different looking to my eye because lugs aren’t coming out of the case.

                      Think it, be it.

                        That Credor is an interesting piece. I wonder why they did not put a display caseback on it? Probably to try and keep it close to the original case design maybe??

                        If they were going for as close to an authentic replica of the original as possible then why make it with an automatic movement? Sticking to a quartz movement would be closer to the original and Seiko (Grand Seiko) make some lovely quartz movements such as their 9F movement.

                        Oh to be a fly on the wall on some of these design meetings.....

                        There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                          @mclaincausey I’d argue it’s entirely integrated because you cannot change out the bracelet to any strap.

                          I’m sure in person it’s beautiful. The dial is killer! And five years ago would’ve been a great release.

                            @Danimal506 it’s absolutely integrated; my point is that aesthetically it’s distinct from other integrated designs because it doesn’t use integral lugs on the case. And from a historical perspective, this is a remake of a design that pre dates a lot of those saturated designs.

                            I can’t get into that case shape but I like the dial and bracelet.

                            Think it, be it.

                                @mclaincausey Makes sense. Ol’ Gerald seemed to get around the design houses back in the day.

                                Kinda funny, he came up with one design and sold it to a dozen different companies haha. Good for him!

                                  @Danimal506 🤪yeah. I love his stuff but agree about it being over saturated

                                          It is, but it’s impractically designed. Lots of space that isn’t functional and the way that that space extends over your metatarsals for a left handed wear seems like it could be uncomfortable when you bend your wrist back. Those aspects detract from it being something I would wear although I admire the design very much.

                                          Think it, be it.
