  • Sometimes looking backwards pays. Everyone is over the watch from last month already that got me thinking... what about quality watches released 2 years ago!? They have been completely forgotten about but I bet there are some real gems. And I was right.
    This Heimdallr Dive watch is an homage to the Seiko 6309 dive watch form the 1976 to 1980 era. It has been over-shadowed by the Seiko Willard and the Seiko 62MAS but it is still a beautiful case design.
    Good quality Dive watch homages are pretty hard to find...I mean real quality versions. I rate this one highly.
    This is my first champagne dial watch and it is also my first Heimdallr watch...you can bet it won't be my last Heimdallr watch!
    This dive watch has all the attributes you could want. Stunning case, champagne dial, 300m water resistance, strong 120click bezel and a logo to die for!
    Check out the review and see if you agree with my opinion.
    I think the Heimdallr HMSC11 is one of the best budget dive watches you can buy...and wit till you see the price :)

    Excellent review. Back in 2020 I bought the San Martin, the Steeldive and the Heimdallar versions of the Seiko 6105. The 3 of them were/are fantastic watches, specially if one shops during a sale. After a few months I kept only the Heimdallr and it is today my daily beater. Reasons: the finishing, perfect alignment, price and the shark logo!

    Thanks for the review 👍. There just a few things that put me off it, short hands and lint magnet straps, but the quality and finish look great. If they did a grenade dial, I could be tempted.

    I own this and bought this when I first saw it on Aliexpress. I knew I had to have it because there was no champagne dial watches. It is one of my favorites that came with a very comfortable rubber strap. I used to wear a color matched Nato with it but it didn't always fit very well. I might switch it out later if I want some variety. The lume is great. Has drilled lugs. The bezel has some playback and I wish that the crown was signed. The bezel has a nice, satisfying click when turned. I love the bezel side texture which makes gripping easy. The bezel insert is ceramic. I used this watch when I went kayaking. I was in the river and it performed well. I'm not sure why more people review this watch. It seems to be under the radar but a very good watch.

    Ah yes, here it is! 😉 Another great review and a cool watch! Very attractive dial. I believe that bezel insert is probably ceramic. Seiko is famous for their big watch case design with short lug to lug to suit slimmer wrists.

    Bought this during the recent sale after seeing your initial unboxing and for the price it cannot be beaten. Owned and got rid of addiesdive. This in my opinion is much higher quality and as a bit of a bonus mine on the wrist is running almost perfectly at around +1sec day. Absolutely blown away by this one. I own a few San Martin, Cronos, Sugess and think value for money wise this beats them all. Had a spare silver grey nato from an old Seiko and it looks stunning on this watch. Keep up the great reviews 👏
