Michael Stockton and Robert-Jan Broer talk you through the (professional) vintage Seiko diver watches up till 1980.
We published various vintage Seiko diver articles on Fratellowatches.com, but finally sat down to record a video talking about these watches. From the first (pre)diver Seiko Chronos (J13046 in this video) to the Tuna 7549 and 7548. In between, you'll find the famous 6105, 6159 and 6215 etc.
We hope you love the video! Make sure to subscribe to our channel and check out our website www.fratellowatches.com.

one of the best Seiko Dive Watch vids on the internet. great stuff. i have several of the models discussed here, and they’re well worth collecting and wearing.

People really underestimate the 7548 and 7549. All quartz watches are not equal and these movements were really, really over-engineered. They were based on the 6309 and were Seiko’s first effort at a serious diver with a quartz movement. Brian May, from Queen wore one as did Norman Schwarzkopf. The movements were jeweled and entirely serviceable.

@GiuseppePugliese1 2 года назад

Also 7c43, the best quartz...

Always hunt vintage seiko divers after reading Mike's well reviewed articles on Fratello watches. Thanks for a great video. I live in South Korea and not many people look for vintage seiko divers, which I get on really good prices. Good place to buy vintage seikos

Very nice Seiko collection, I have just bought the 6159-7010 it's unbelievable ⌚.

@Fischi4711 4 года назад

Thanks, very interesting - I guess it is much harder to get Seiko background information vs Rolex, Omega etc. I like the no-nonsense look and affordability of Seiko. Just in the process of servicing a 1962 Seikomatic and after watching this vid, I think about getting a Silver Wave next. Keep it up.

@FratelloMagazine 4 года назад

Thanks! Good hunting on the Silver Wave!

@MrMadvillan 2 года назад

in some ways yes, but Seiko has always kept good documentation. the main issue is that Japanese brands are very loyal to domestic costumers so a lot of documentation is in Japanese or floating around yahoo auctions japan. The Watch Miner腕時計マイナ has some really good breakdowns of vintage Seiko lines.

Absolutely brilliant summary of some wonderful Seikos. I have been very lucky to find a 6105-8110 and 6309-7040 in superb condition. I’d love a 6159 but I’ll settle for my favourite modern diver MM300 SBDX017. What a great video. Thanks guys👌

@Joe-xo3xy Год назад

it is funny because most dive watch manufacturers have used the aesthetics of their pre dive watches on their dive watches, so I have noticed. great works, thanks very much for the educational work as well as being great entertainment

@Andrew.W75 3 года назад

Great video, good to see such an interesting collection! I own a few of these myself, cheers

@Biblicalgiants 2 года назад

A friend of mine has several variations of these Seiko quartz Tuna dive watches with shrouds in tact in his shop but everyone overlooks them due to being unaware of their significance like I was until now. I would kinda prefer and welcome a quartz seiko diver to slap on my wrist whenever I want to without having to set it first. Great upload!

I have had some lovely watches from the Philippines. It's harder to find decent watches in the UK where I am from. I've had all the early divers. I specialise in Seiko vintage watches. The 6105-8000 is my favourite. Such a classic and classy watch. Nice video thanks.

Good knowledge of these, thanks. Most people dont know what a crown tube is. Trying to describe it is next to impossible (they think you mean the crown!, not the TUBE). Every watch above $300 should have a crown tube, IMO and it should be screwed into the case, not pressed. I remember these. Not many people had them in the 80's in the West.

@customscooters7345 6 месяцев назад

I'm surprised to see that mint looking Tamiya Frog in the background... Dope. I had one and rebuilt it 100's of times during use.

@FratelloMagazine 6 месяцев назад

It's a new one / reedition.

@George_Lewis 10 месяцев назад

At 3:10 you mention buying a donor watch... Good advice. Last week I sent my 50 year old Seiko 6138 Panda to Seiko for repair and they said they can get it running, but gaskets/seals and a crystal are no longer available for this model, so it won't be water resistant. The watch wasn't doing me any good laying in a drawer, so I agreed to have it repaired and I'll be careful to not get it wet.

Ive recently gotten my hands on a 1988 Seiko SQ Sport 150M 5Y23-6069 pepsi dial. It is pristine condition with full documentation. Seems to be quite rare/hard to find online.

@jeffreyalbarandorivera8595 4 года назад

Without our country PHL it would be very difficult for you to find that vintage watch like that 6105. We are in abundance of Seiko Divers since we are closer to JAPAN and we have strong link to this country after WW2

@M3LTUP 3 года назад

Agree. I have purchased a few vintage Seiko Divers from Philippines. Seems like Seiko was very popular there. Probably due to abundance of beautiful beaches and scuba diving in Philippines.

Does the Captain Willard started being called like that just after the movie apocalypse now or is it something that started in the 90's or even after? And how was it called before the movie?

@MrMadvillan 2 года назад

huh, the service dial doesn't have a date stamp on the back?

@williamstalvey6920 Год назад

I have A 1970 Seiko 6105 proof/ proof where Seiko only produced these for 2 or 3 months; Does anyone have any idea what it would be worth.....its on a Vietnam era Olongapo handmade band from Phillipines. Bill

@watchnut5305 4 года назад

Your 6306 has aftermarket hands.

@michaelstockton5885 4 года назад

They’re not - they are relumed though 😉

@ajroy03 3 года назад

nobody is hunting for the "resist" dial 6159... that's an absurd statement. A "proof" dial 6159 will always go for more than a "resist" in the Seiko community. The only place you could up-sell that is to a vintage Rolex collector.
