Not a Seiko, sort of. It has a Seiko movement, so I'll call it half and half.

It's an Islander watch, in a line they call the Calabro, in tune with the aviator angle they were going for on the dial. It's a world time bezel matched up to a GMT chapter ring, letting you track a separate time zone as well as quickly reference the time in another time zone by aligning the bezel to your local time. Not particularly useful if you don't actually know the timezone you're trying to reference, but it fills the dial well, and is a nice change from the super common diver bezel.

I absolutely love the blues and greens, with the orange highlights as a contrast.

nice! i wish the seconds hand wasn't orange tipped, it makes it harder to differentiate with the GMT hand
