Same case and movement in every row. What changes is the colour, the strap or bracelet, the finish and where Seiko sells it. Seiko's spec sheets don't state dial colour, so a colour appears only where Seiko's US store tags one.

Where to buy
Asking prices for new watches at the last check. Each was in stock at that check, but stock moves, and shipping, tax and import charges are not included. Each reference links to the seller's page.
| Seller | Version | Asking price | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seiko Boutique Ireland | SLA049 | 3,500.00 EUR about $3,874 | Nov 13, 2026 |
| Seiko Boutique Ireland | SLA051 | 3,500.00 EUR about $3,874 | Nov 13, 2026 |
Estimated US prices use Seiko's US list price where there is one. Otherwise they are the middle of Seiko's list prices in other countries, converted at rates dated Nov 12, 2026 from ExchangeRate-API (free open endpoint). Those list prices include each country's sales tax, so a converted figure usually runs higher than a US price would. Retailer prices are asking prices on the date shown, not sold prices, and leave out shipping, tax and import charges.
