Last timepiece for the decade

A day after Christmas, I got myself a yellow dialed Seiko 5 Sports with model number SNZG87K1 from Citizen Emporium over at Avenida. My last watch for the first decade of the 21st century.

After first seeing this thing a couple of months ago, it was simply love at first sight. The PVD treated casing and black accented hands were perfect for the yellow dial. It seemed to spring right at you!

The Z22 rubber diver's strap complements the overall design quite well.

The PVD treated buckle gives a nice "tactical" feel to the timepiece.

The military-inspired stenciled numerals, rectangle indices, knurled bezel and crown rounded off the tactical look of the SNZG87K1.

It may not be tritium, but Seiko Lumibrite will not disappoint.

Like most Seiko watches, this fine looking timepiece also deserves a nickname. Lemme see, tactical PVD treatment, military font indices, commando-inspired look, I think I'll call it the Seiko Yellow Devil.
