Affordable elegance is alive in this Perpetual Calendar Chronograph watch from Seiko. The Neo Classic SPC131P1 packs a lot of punch for a decent price, if you can find one of these depleting stock pieces. It features a perpetual calendar with day/date/month/leap year, chronograph with tachymeter and 24 hour sub dial, blued handset with a running seconds sub dial, plus a sub dial that displays an alarm when set, or 24 hour time when the alarm is off.

I was introduced to this watch by @Last Watch Horology in this video [ Ссылка ] and just had to have one! What a dial! I was able to scoop up this beautiful Seiko on eBay for $144 USD. Culling together info from the serial number, battery life, and dust between the lugs, this may have been a display case sample from 2019, but appears to be in completely brand new condition. Seiko still offers some great value, even at lower prices, if you can find closeouts like this!

Note: this video shows the watch in detail exactly how it came. The hands were a little off and I calibrated them as I went through the entire setup process after filming this video. The process is a little tricky the first time around, but easy to get familiar with. You can see the crescent moon didn't line up with the date correctly, but it does now...after calibration.
