Hi Frank,
Glad you like the watches as well. Prices are always an odd thing and I relied upon what Seiko gave me directly. Market prices vary. Best to find a model you like and then check to see what the current prices are.

Thanks for your article. I am currently “saving my pennies” for a new Seiko Ananta Spring Drive GMT SNR019, white dial over metal bracelet exactly as shown in the article above. I have handled everyone of the 10 Ananta models and the watches are simply exquisite. As an avid collector of Japanese watches, the Spring Drive is the next logical step up in the food chain.

Regarding prices…. You have it all wrong! The Ananta automatic models (Sub dial and double retrograde) start at USD $2,100 and $2,300 respectively. The Ananta Automatic Chronograph retails at USD $3,200. The Ananta Spring Drive GMT retails at USD $4,300. Finally, the Spring Drive Chronograph (Flagship model) retails at USD $6,300.

The prices you quoted in your articleapply mostly to Japan market Grand Seikos that can be bought directly from AD online Tokyo based retailers.

In comparison to the Grand Seiko line, the Anantas are a terrific bargain in my book.

Excellent article and research, thank you! I have been smitten with the limited edition Spring drive Chronograph SPS09 since I first saw it advertised. Magnificent watch. Couldn’t stop looking at the website http://www.seiko-ananta.com/#/collection and memorizing the specs and differences in the collection. Long story short I’m on cloud nine, bought 58 of 300 this morning! Looked at it last week and went in for the kill today. It is just a fine fine watch. I am a chef and bought my first Rolex in Bermuda in 1980. Second Rolex in Australia. Quite like the IWC pilots watch range. Next buy might be the Omega Station Master 49 mm or a Georg Jensen. Thanks again for your great site.

Now, these watches are fly (back)! Great looking
styles, that don’t require Sherpa guides to fathom the functions. List prices are not too
bad, in view of the advanced technology & workmanship, from this long revered watch house.
Without wallet raping prices, these items are
more attainable for a wide variety of individuals.
