New Seiko field watches and comparisons to the Togiak
New Seiko 5 field watches seem to be very much in the category of the Togiak Expedition. They have compass bezels with a lumed pip, lumed numerals, day/date, smaller and slimmer, steel. No sapphire crystals, it's Hardlex. 41mm with a 13.2mm thickness.
The price is going to be 410 Euro or $480 USD on the bracelet.
In comparison, the Helm has titanium, sapphire, water testing and a selection are tested the same as ISO 6425, choice of bezel and RS2 strap, the bracelet is great, customized day/date wheel, and this comes at $340 USD. It is thicker and larger.
Sometimes I do have to think twice about buying a Helm. But just comparing it with a big brand like Seiko makes it clear that they are offering exceptional value. Few other brands do testing like they do, which is a huge value add.
