• Notable Differences –
o Price – $2050 (@ full price) difference between the two
o Features – Quartz vs. Mechanical timing (3yrs vs. less than 2days power reserve), also uncoated Hardlex mineral vs. Sapphire crystal w/an inner AR coating (although mineral are generally less reflective and more resistant to shattering while being more susceptible to scratches), also the Essentials has a stamped clasp, while the Prospex has a fully milled clasp
• Bottom-line – While being on opposite ends of Seiko’s chronograph spectrum pricewise, they both excel within their own segments, with high design with unexpected attention to detail driving the affordable option and high specs with clean versatility driving their premium offering
