However the gap in a $5000 Omega, and a $900 Seiko Diver, isn't worth 4.5 times the price. About half of it, is cache IMO.
I love Orange on watches for some reason.

I have a Seiko Orange monster that I love wearing in the summers. I'd wear it in the winter but it's too bulky for all the long sleeve shirts/jackets/sweaters.



I still find Seikos the best value for what they are. Decent looking and serviceable mechanical watch.

I targeted 2-3 watches in that expensive price category. I hope I can get the 2nd one when I retire or when my future kids win the gene pool lottery and get multi-million contracts in a sport.
