Not sure. I have both in other color combinations.
It’s a special edition, meaning it may only be widely available for a year.

I have the Samurai in the Manta Ray. It is still in the box and I have never taken it out. I will see if I can get a picture today and post it.

Cool watch. Don't think it will stick in the collection but it is nice.

I think Manta Ray is too big for home aquarium! Sting ray is possible.

I am deep in the Seiko's with 20 plus watches and something has to really stand out to get any wrist time. At present the Manta Ray does not do it for me but will sit in the box until it does or I sell it.

Love the blue textured dial with the mantas. And the sapphire glass and ceramic bezel. This guy is sticking around.

those Seiko aquatic hand sets, while effective, are the barrier for me... I just do not like them. Even on the great piece like the sbgh255/257 and the slga001 Grand Seikos.

I handset and indicies on the SLA's... 017/037/033
