Description:
The new limited production monster from Seiko (the first was the Yellow Monster) has certainly been the subject of much controversy. Yes, it is a Seiko model made in limited numbers – the actual number of which I am uncertain. As the picture shows, this example is number 385/05meaning number 385 in 2005. With the 7S36 movement and a domed sapphire it is a cut above the standard monsters and somewhat more colourful (the attractiveness of which is subject to personal taste of course).
