New Seiko field watches!
These 41mm field watches bear a striking resemblance to the SSK GMT models, but instead of a GMT function, they feature a rotating compass bezel.

There's also a bigger story here worth understanding. Seiko is having a massive year — shelves are barren, models are on backorder, and this success is a major driver behind the NH-series movement shortage hitting the microbrand industry. When Seiko keeps its own movements for its own watches, supply tightens for everyone else, and prices climb across the board — not just for Seiko, but for nearly all automatic movements right now.
