Sorry... can't help you. But it's a nice looking watch...

It's not difficult to see that it kinda copies the style from Omega Electric Blue SMP. Not a bad thing though... Great purchase.

Nice looking watch.

It appears to be another variation of the very popular Seiko 5 Automatic with the 7S26 movement. This is the same movement they use on most of the automatic Seiko divers, military type and dress watches. It is known to be a very reliable and durable movement, but in my own personal experience they tend to run a little fast (about 10-30 secs/day).

There are literally hundreds of variations of these Seiko 5 Automatics, this is the first time I have seen this version though.

what do you think of the seiko 7s36 movement compare to invicta miyota 21 jewel on the invicta 8926? which one is better?

From my own personal experience, "out of the box" (i.e. without regulation) the Miyota seems to be more accurate than the Seikos. This is my observation from my own collection of Seikos, Invictas and Citizen watches over the past year.

Both are very reliable and very rugged, I cannot say one is better than the other. One advantage the Miyota has is that, it is manually windable, the Seiko is not. Both are non hacking. Not having either one of these features do not bother me.
