    I would really like to see Seiko adopt this 30.5mm dial size in place of the 28.5mm dials they've been using in all of their automatic SPB level pro divers for decades. The ISO required lume at all hour markers has created a huge problem for their design language, with the SPB 62MAS series *really* suffering in particular compared to the initial 2020 releases which didn't have lume at 3. Larger diameter dials would create enough space there for a little lume block without having to shove it into the minute track like an afterthought. The 40mm bezel here shows that a larger dial wouldn't create a problem, still plenty of room for the bezel. They'd just have to re-engineer their cases for the larger size going forward.

      Totally agree! Would love to see 30.5mm dials in the future from Seiko.

Just had it out on a dive too. SO cool seeing it underwater with a bit of lume. There's just a small amount of FOMO when I see this one though.

    I'm only here because I went to my local AD and saw this and couldn't believe the price. I'm well versed in Seiko divers(although I cant keep up at this point) and Grand Seiko. I was on the hunt for a new fun/beater piece. I asked to see this, and when it was handed to me and the salesman told me the price, I almost fainted. Aside from the 8L movement, this watch has all the hallmarks of a $500 Seiko. I'm not making this up. I wouldn't have asked to see it, if I knew it was one of their higher end models. It looks and feels like a blacked out King Turtle. I honestly thought it was just another new "limited edition" affordable black series divers. I'm telling you right now, I've held this thing in my hand tonight, and you've got to be off your rocker to spend that kind of coin on this watch, or you just got disposable income(which is perfectly fine haha).

    If you look at this case shape and size it is more a “classic” style Willard than the new redesigned Willard’s. Which are 2mm smaller than the classic and the crown guard has a slightly different design and shape. This watch is more on par with the classic Willard.

    @jameshoward9700 2 роки тому

    Nice review - hard to film black-on-black watches! Hmm, thought I'd like this more. But I'm not a fan (and not just 'cos of the tacky 'X'!). I'm less keen on the Uemura case than the Willard and in black you lose the round bezel definition, so it all looks like a black blob (?) on the wrist. I think black watches need edge and sharpness to create light play, eg the LX series. There's some nice polishing/brushing, but light definition on black curves is almost impossible. But my main criticism is the dial - it just looks cheap - SPB level (for $3k).
    I'm not convinced there's the margin (!) here to get a textured dial to work well (hence pressed at $3k) and done badly, they just look weak and gimmicky (see Sharp Edged series, latest Save the Oceans...). Oddly, Seiko's weakness can be paint/face texture (not colour). It's almost impossible to do a GS/SBEX for

    The best all black cushion case dive watch I have seen. BUT accuracy is disappointing; one of my NH35a powered Seiko homage watches is under 1 second a day fast or slow. Would be nice to see power reserve at least 70 hours. If I was ready to buy, I would. 1000 unit production will sell out quickly!
