Correct its an SNK809K1. I love the simple look of it.
Nice, I have a few older Seiko 5s so it is nice to see the modern take on the line.

Thanks! On that shot you made, even if these dust bits were fixed to the piece, it'd look cool!
I did actually think the same thing.

Its pretty neat how the Swatch group handles repairing a watch, so far. They sent me a pre-paid box, all I had to do was drop it off at FedEx. Once they received the watch they sent an email with a picture and my info. Still waiting for diagnosis and pricing.

From what you wrote, the service seems to be pro. We keep our fingers crossed it'll work with no hiccups along hte road.

Something of a first foray into (arguably) haute horology...

It's a Ressence Type 3 "black black". The top part is filled with a special oil matched to the sapphire glass's refractive index to achieve the illusion that the numbers are floating on top of the glass.

It's gorgeous. For a second there I foolishly thought that it actually might be 'affordable' but still far beyond my reach:ksc75smile:

Interesting has a touch of compass about it some of which also have glass domes filled with oil

Yes - Ressence has the Type 5, which is a proper dive watch rated to 100m and is highly legible underwater because of the lack of any water-air surfaces.
