Saw this watch in KLCC some time ago. Agree with scott, shares some design cues with Sinn. Matte black dial and with white numbers & markers.

I like the look but feel a little let down that the movement does not hack or handwind. For such a nice watch, I think it deserve something better.

Personally, I would pay a little more $$ and get something like muachee's sumo.

My 2 cents...

The 4R15 movement does not hack nor does it do hand winding. For that you'll have to pay up for the 6R15 caliber found in Seiko's Premier range. The lack of hand winding capability is not really a problem because the 4R15 utilises Seiko's super efficient "Magic lever" winding system. Just a few swing of your arm and your watch is ready to go. For more information about the "Magic Lever" auto winding system check out this fantastic article.

4R15 is the latest diver from seiko to replace that 7s26 model.
i think the price is 1.4k before discount. heres my friend 4R15 with his big brother 8L35.
