Here come two very iconic blue watches from two well-known brands. If you had to choose between these two, which would you pick?

Bomb! Here comes the real Snoopy!!

Now that’s what I call a super-duper NWA.
Sadly, this is not my NWA but I’m truly happy my friend @watchdiaries pulled the trigger.

This watch needs almost no introduction. If you’re into watches, you already know it. With rumours swirling that this Snoopy may be discontinued by the end of the year (or real soon), and given that the watch market has softened considerably lately, now feels like the perfect time to grab one.

🚨 NWA 🚨
Seiko X Space Brothers - Rotocall
JDM Limited Edition | SBJG023 | SBJG024

When I was young, I always dreamed of becoming an astronaut. And yep, as you can see, I ended up as just an ordinary guy living an ordinary life. But that never stopped me from dreaming. I love everything about space, galaxies, and all the sci-fi worlds like Star Wars etc.

As a watch guy mainly into mechanical pieces, I was crazy enough to buy a pair of digital watches. Why? Short answer: the design and the story behind them.

What is the Seiko Rotocall?
The Rotocall traces back to 1982 (reference A829). The name comes from its signature rotating bezel, an octagonal “rotary switch” that lets you change modes by turning it instead of pressing tiny buttons. For that era, it was incredibly innovative and user-friendly. It also became somewhat legendary because several astronauts chose to wear it on over 160 space missions, not as an official NASA-issued watch, but simply because it worked well, especially when wearing gloves.

In 2025, Seiko officially reissued the Rotocall with three production models. But the one I’m showing here isn’t any of those three. It’s a collaboration model with the manga Space Brothers, a Japan-only (JDM) limited edition available in just two versions, full gold (PVD) and monochrome. Many of you might not be familiar with Space Brothers; I wasn’t either at first. But after seeing the color design of the collab pieces, it immediately caught my eye. I looked up the story and found it super interesting. Two brothers meeting each other on the moon. That alone triggered my interest, especially since you guys know I’m a huge Moonwatch fan. I love everything about the moon missions, real or fictional.

Some might feel the price is high for a digital watch, especially when compared to Casio. But for me, the story, the design, and the rotating bezel make it worth it. I’m happy to pay for something I genuinely love within a reasonable range.

Enough talking, swipe through the photos and tell me what you think about the Seiko Rotocall.

*Special thanks to my aunt for helping me bring these watches back from Japan.

She’s no Lange 1815 or Patek Calatrava but I’ll “settle” for a view of this rear end. No questions asked.

This watch encapsulates everything I love about vintage watches. I love reissues as much as the next watch nerd, but you just can’t imitate the genuine patina of an 80 year-old watch that’s got many stories to tell!

They said don’t drop the soap so this should be safe to pick up, right? A Seiko SRPC35 ‘Mini Turtle’ without a bracelet or strap, resting on a wet floor. The watch is slightly wet and the luminous hands and markers are lit up.

Proof that blue is, indeed, evergreen. The one that started it all. The Seiko SARB065 ‘Cocktail Time’. Seiko SARB065 ‘Cocktail Time’ on a blue leather strap, resting on a surface. The photo only shows elements of the colour blue as a result of editing.

Not gonna’ lie that 2024 was, all in all, not the best. Said goodbye to too many, too early, but as the curtains come down on the year, it’s made me realise more than ever to cherish the ones around and make memories.
.
So, let’s raise a glass to those who have left, those who are still hanging about and those who have yet to come into our lives. Happy holidays and happy new year.
