It was a gem that I wanted since its release in 1983, so I was able to get it this time and I am very satisfied.

I was expecting it to be a reprint of Giugiaro, but it is an excellent gem with the expected quality. Great result. This is Seiko.

★★★★★ Complete reproduction of functions

Translated by Google Complete reproduction of functions
I used the original. In the spring of 1984, my parents bought it to celebrate my university entrance. Later, even if it was changed to an analog speed master that could measure 1/100 second, this excellent Giugiaro design was kept at hand, and maintenance and battery replacement were continued regularly. However, when the battery was changed to '17, the white insulating plate inside? Became shattered and impossible to restart. Even if I bought a new one, at that time there was only the original price of the premier price and the first reprint with reduced functions, and I was halfway to give up. In the end of '18, I found an article about this reprint in an automobile magazine, and I started to get a nosebleed. Although the way the band bends and the color of the back of the body are different, the impression on the arm is sockly. It has evolved from a yellow light bulb to a blue backlight. I'm nostalgic even after being asked, "Why are you leaning?" Even in digital, which is often regarded as cheap, it is a watch that is only valuable to those who can find meaning in this design.

機能を完全復刻
オリジナルを使っていました。’84年の春、大学の入学祝いで両親に買ってもらった物です。その後、1/100秒を計測出来るアナログのスピードマスターに替えても、この秀逸なジウジアーロデザインは手元に置き、定期的にメンテと電池交換を続けました。しかしながら、‘17に電池交換した際、内部の白い絶縁板？が粉々になってしまい再起不能となってしまったのです。新たに買うにしても、当時はプレミア価格のオリジナルと機能削減された最初の復刻版しかなく、半ば諦めかけていました。’18も終盤となって、自動車雑誌に今回の復刻版に関する記事を見つけ、鼻血が出そうになりながらポチりました。バンドの曲がり方や本体裏の色が違いますが、腕にはめた印象はソックリです。黄色い電球から青いバックライトに進化しています。30年振りに「何故傾いているのですか？」と問われる事さえ懐かしいです。チープと評されがちなデジタルでも、このデザインに意味を見出せる人だけに価値がある時計です。

I wanted the first generation and thought about going out to Yahoo auction several times, but I was hesitant about the degree and price. A perfect reprint! Thank you SEIKO!

★★★★★ Recommended for those who can find the dial in a diagonal value.

Translated by Google Recommended for those who can find the dial in a diagonal value.
Compared to the 1983 model, the angle of the rotating bezel when viewed from the side is different, the bulge for turning the rotating bezel is longer, the shape is different when viewed from the side of the bracelet, the bracelet has no dent in the full-face helmet, but the same black The color is different. There are various differences from the original. The original fits best when worn on the arm. I wanted you to reproduce it with much more attention if you want to reproduce it so far.

文字盤が斜め価値に見いだせる方におすすめ。
１９８３年モデルと比べると横から見た回転ベゼルの角度が違う、回転ベゼルを回すための出っ張りが長い、ブレスレットの横から見たら形状が違う、ブレスレットにフルフェイスヘルメットの凹みがない、同じブラックだが色合いが違う。色々オリジナルと違う部分があります。腕につけた時の一体感はオリジナルが一番フィットします。せっかくここまで復刻するならもっとこだわりも持って復刻してほしかった。

★★★★★ Appearance beyond the original
Post date : Monday, Jan 7 2019


Translated by Google Appearance beyond the original
The 1983 model was said to be the most beautiful digital watch in the world. Originally reprinted in March 1999, the first edition limited to 3000 blacks were sold out almost without being lined up in the storefront, but I imagine that there were various restrictions on the first reprint, but excuse me, the degree of completion is not high It seems that Giugiaro often allowed the use of the name. Twenty years later, in 2018, the manufacturer re-attempted to reprint. This time, it was obtained with the expectation that all the designs were faithfully reproduced in the original model in commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the release. Cases and belts that have been painted have become semi-glossy black with good texture due to surface treatment. At that time, a wound belt was common, but this time it became a solid and thick material this time (this seems to be usable for older models because the width is the same). The module itself is a newly designed liquid crystal display that is faithful to the 1983 original. The back light of the liquid crystal is certainly not a reproduction of the original miniature light bulb, but the whole surface glows blue and is easier to see. It was perfect if the dial was a little thin, but it doesn't feel strange even when compared to the original. I think that it was well reproduced at a price setting almost unchanged from the time. At that time it was a very expensive digital watch, but now I am happy that it is not so expensive and can be used everyday. The quality of SEIKO's reprint series is getting higher. Until now, there was a feeling that it was trying to reproduce the design of the time with a natural module, but it became an unreasonable degree from around the analog inclined dial model SCED53 / 55, almost self-copying completed with the diver model, and This time, I think that it has finally exceeded the original. I feel like the Giugiaro model is on sale at this time like every year, but it was a product that I couldn't wait for next year.

オリジナルを越えた格好良さ
世界でいちばん美しいデジタル腕時計だといわれた1983年モデル。最初は1999年3月に復刻され初版3000本限定の黒色はほとんど店頭に並ぶこと無く完売しましたが、初めての復刻で制約もいろいろあったことは想像しますが、失礼ながら完成度は高くなくジウジアーロがよく名前の使用を許したと思えるものでした。それから20年、この2018年にメーカーが復刻に再チャレンジ。今回は発売35周年記念でデザインを全てオリジナルモデルに忠実に再現したとのことで期待して入手しました。塗装だったケースやベルトは表面処理により質感の良い半艶の黒色になっています。当時は巻きベルトが一般的でしたが今回今風に無垢の肉厚な物になりグレードアップしました(幅は同じなので旧モデルにも使えそうです)。モジュール自体も新設計で1983年のオリジナルに忠実な液晶表示になっています。液晶のバックライトはさすがにオリジナルの豆電球の再現ではなく、全面が青く光るようになり見やすくなりました。ダイヤルがもうすこし薄ければ完璧でしたが、オリジナルと見比べてもあまり違和感はありません。当時とほとんど変わらない価格設定でよくぞ再現してくれたとおもいます。当時は非常に高価なデジタルウォッチでしたが今ではそれほど高価ではなく普段使いできるのが嬉しいです。SEIKOジウジアーロの復刻シリーズもどんどんクオリティが高くなってきました。これまでは有り物のモジュールで当時のデザインをムリヤリ再現しようとした感もありましたが、アナログ傾斜文字盤モデルSCED53/55あたりから無理のない完成度になり、ダイバーモデルでほぼセルフコピー完成、そして今回はとうとうオリジナルを越えたと思います。毎年のようにこの時期にジウジアーロモデルが発売されているような気がしますが、来年以降のモデル発売が待ち遠しくなるような商品でした。
