Seiko dropped the SSK line to much fanfare a few years ago. Finally, a truly affordable GMT, and in the classic SKX style case to boot! However, I simply wasn't too crazy about this line's aesthetics initially. They just looked sort of awkward to me because they were too derivative of the Rolex GMT Master colorways all while keeping the same SKX proportions/thickness (and without even being an actual tool watch). This led to the popular blueberry/Batman one just looking sort of goofy to me despite being a great watch.This one is something really special though and I don't think it gets talked about enough. The "Polar Batman/Mr. Freeze" look is just so versatile and works perfectly with just about any outfit, season, and aesthetic short of full on black tie. The shades of electric blue that were chosen are outstanding, and the white dial... I don't think anyone makes a white dial quite as well as Seiko does. This is a subtle silvery sunburst color that's typically found on their more dressy watches and it just works so well, I can't believe it took them this long to put a white dial in an SKX case because it really elevates it in my opinion.The only 2 downsides are the overall thickness and the bracelet, both of which are easily remedied with Aliexpress parts like a slim caseback (note that as of 2024's option, this also requires swapping the movement bracket/spacer) and a better jubilee if you so wish. Personally, I like the bracelet and I think the narrower links work better than a more traditionally proportioned one as it makes the case look a bit smaller. Though I can certainly see why some would be disappointed with it if they paid the full retail of nearly $500 as it's a little jangly and uses the usual stamped clasp from their much cheaper models.
