Icon20 New Presage cocktails! Now without the date, but with a hole to see the movement....

The honeycomb SARY159 is interesting, but I’m not sure about the big hole on the dial.....?

I love the honeycomb dial. Seiko really do make interesting dials.

I’m a bit on the fence about the 9 o’clock details as well ... IMO it takes away from what would be a nice clean looking layout

Makes way more sense than a clear caseback, IMO.

Interesting for sure but like you I'm on the fence and would most likely pass.

Interesting, they have an Orient Star vibe.

Been a fair while since I saw an Open Heart from Seiko, and right over the balance wheel, which will have some people thinking it’s a tourbillon.

That's exactly what I thought. Not really a fan. I'd have to see it in person. I think it detracts from the very cool honeycomb dial. My dad loves the open heart design. He has an Orient Star and Baume & Mercier with one.

I still like my original cocktail time with the 6R15 and cleaner text, and of course a band swap. The patent leather is gawd awful. Not a fan of the model name in the text just like the big ol' "X" in the Prospex line. I'd get rid of the word "Presage" and leave the "Automatic" but in script and maybe include the number of jewels. Just my $0.02.

I like the honeycomb dial but not the opening. I hope we see this dial without the opening at some point.

I love my Seiko Presage, it has a slight Omega Aqua Terra look also.

Nice dials. Not sold on the open heart however.

That honeycomb dial is growing on me. I'd love to see it in person when it comes out.

open heart to see that beautiful movement lol

To be fair I think clear case backs are good especially for lower priced models.
It doesn't ruin the dial and the full movement is actually very interesting to look at for someone who may have never even known what a auto movement is!
Build an interest with new / younger people and the watch community grows / survives

Not for me. I prefer simple dials.
