Only for the North American market it seems. Yes, via Amazon (Amazon is a Citizen AD)

Yes, some of the Seiko's are assembled in China. But that doesn't mean it is going to be bad.
China is now one of the world leading countries. "Made in China" items could be something good too.
Even iPhone's are assembled in China, but no one complains about it.
Don't have to be too surprised and concerned when it comes to China, not anymore.

It's a Seiko Solar SSC081. The lume is very nice and the weight and size feels great. I'm quite a big guy but my wrists are average. This fits well.

Got myself a new toy.

Seiko SSB.. in this case SSB025P1

In all honesty, I wasn't really paying much attention to "just-another-one-in a gazillion-Seiko-quartz-chrono"until reading the recent reviews of that new Prototipo chrono powered by SII's VK64 mecaquartz movement (6T63 in seiko speak) which basically means the chronograph bits are mechanical built on top of a quartz time keeper.

In short, this means we get the pusher feel/click of a mechanical chronograph and the instant chrono hand reset versus the mushy feeling pusher and servo motor merry go round reset of a typical quartz chrono.

The chrono hand measures 1/5th sec so it sweeps instead of ticks.

The watch itself is a typical Seiko fare for the pricepoint.

6T63 movement

6T63 in action.
