Seiko 150 Sports Moonphase Chronograph with Date Hand, ca. 1992

The comeback of this dial layout - Criteria models in
early 2000
Suddenly the dial layout with a date hand at 3 o'clock was fashionable again
when SEIKO launched a big Asian marketing campaign with many (some limited) new
models from the "Criteria" line.
When the marketers talked about the "new" date hand, I always had the feeling I
had seen this before. Right! This SEIKO from ca. 1988 had exactly that date
feature. I had found this watch on the Canary islands in "Las Palmas" in
1988.
