Unbelievable!

That's sacrilege! (If I can take the logo off, I want one, lol). Even though upon closer look there are two additional subdials, protruding crown and no day wheel. But first impression is "Pogue" especially the case.

If ever Seiko wants to hit a guaranteed, money making, grand slam; then do a brilliantly designed, affordable "Pogue" reissue. Make it like a restomod muscle car. Looks original, with some minor exterior aesthetic tweaks, and a modern movement.

As an owner of 7 Pogues, you can count me in. They have been doing it with the divers, why not the old 70's 6139's? Hell, why not the 6138 UFO's, Bullheads, etc..., lol.

Interesting. I'm curious to read a bit more about what's under the hood.

I think the limitation is coming up with an affordable robust automatic chronograph movement.

Yeah.

The Invicta is a quartz. Not so attractive anymore

Seiko launched several chronographs with nice design recently. But used a mecaquartz movement.

Just got it today
The size is the size of the new turtle
And it's ridiculous Seiko isn't doing something like this and Invicta is cashing in .

I have a Col Pogue. Was the first watch I purchased after I graduated in the late seventies and long before I had heard of Col Pogue. I stopped wearing it after a few years but still have it so Its in immaculate condition. That Invicta looks amazing and would love to get one. Made me put my Pogue on today for the first time in years!
