That’s a good answer! I hadn’t heard about that, going to dig into it. The correct response from Seiko would be to drop the date of course 😎.
That’s going to really mess with a few classic designs if true.
If it the case their solution still doesn't feel ideal - even a date at 4.30 would be an improvement!
Well it would certainly explain why they've done exactly that on the SLA049 and SLA051:

Edit: the article even mentions that as a possible reason. Wonder what Rolex are going to do about their divers watches with dates.
