One of the very few watches that ever got noticedβ¦
It was during a barbecue at -30 degrees Centigrade (long story) but it is one of these exceptions π
Still my favorite large Seiko - the Izul SDAA001 π¦Ύπ―π΅
It never ceases to amaze me that my puny wrist can pull off this 51mm thing and that itβs a pleasant wear in spite of the size, the fully rotatable watch caseβ¦ Titanium, as so often, helps somewhat, as does the lugless design. Like with the Master Compres...
Totally impressive and memorable.
Keep working out to make your arm larger LoL πͺπ
I think that ship has sailed ππ€·π»ββοΈ
But memorable it certainly is π

It's a happy dial with positive energy β¨οΈ
-30c? π too much shrinkage to deal with π
Very distinctive design.
If I understand well, the case is meant to be rotated to be used as a chronograph ? Best, Emmanuel
Correctβ¦
Let me see if I have some picsβ¦ Here you see it in both standard orientations. You can turn it any other way, too, and there is a notch as well for a driving style orientation ππ» ...
Not as monstrous as the dimensions would suggest π
Same here - real love for this one πππ»
That is an impressive watch, the dial is captivating.
I havenβt had this one that long but it reminds me of a simpler time, the 70βs. ...
A truly cool specimen indeed ππ»ππ»
Really like the vibe and in this case I would even keep it on the bracelet πππ»
Itβs always interesting to see watches (or other items)
which are designed with a purpose in mind. Too cool.
In many ways it is πππ»
It was a modern interpretation of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics chronographs and it really is superbly well adapted to the role π
I wasn't even aware of the Izul until a year ago. It might be the ultimate tongue in cheek example of "it's just a Seiko". A little bit reminiscent of the amazing hinged Eterna/PD 1000m diver.
I'm continuously impressed with everything Seiko. Really loving my latest (just a) Seiko... ...
I see youβre quite adept at playing that game, too π
A fantastic, stealthy Spring Drive ππ»ππ»
As one can see in your profile picture π
Probably the only other person I know with the SDAA001 πππ»
LOL, likewise ! π
I've never come across another owner, whether in the wild or online... definitely a rare bird ο»Ώ! π¦ Am happy for us!
Talking about big watches, in my eyes the Izul is one of the best at the very top
...in terms of design and build. It's beautiful and sensible, well proportioned and justifying its large case and dial.
Thanks a lot for that ππ»
Glad you appreciate it next to all the spectacular VFAs ππ»ππ»ππ»
