Easily one of my favorite acquisitions last year is this limited edition collaboration between Seiko and Worn & Wound. It is a very good design for a nod on the Flieger watches that have been quite popular as beaters and collector's items. 'Flieger' is 'pilot' in German. Here are some photos of this handsome watch.

This watch is inspired by the Flieger and has day and date complications. The day wheel is in English or Kanji.

The other side view - note the holes on the lugs that allows for easy replacement of the straps.

The W & W sticker is still intact. This is also a limited edition watch and number 568 of 1,000 produced.

The watch is powered by a Cal. 4R36 that runs at 21,600 A/h with a potential power reserve of ~40 hours. It has hand-winding and hacking features. I have this watch on my regular rotation. This is definitely a keeper and one of those that will appreciate in value over time.
