Today we've got something special for you. We finally have the Seiko 62MAS re-interpretation in-stock for review! This Seiko diver's watch reissue is based off of the original 1965 62MAS, which was the first ever dive watch made by Seiko. SBDC051 and SBDC053 were created using the original 62MAS as inspiration. It has a larger, more modern 42mm case diameter and a gorgeous sapphire crystal. It's powered by Seiko's own in-house, 6R15 automatic movement and also hand winds. 6R15 is a 23 jewel movement that is considered to be one of Seiko's higher-spec, finer movements.
Add 200 meter water resistance, solid construction, Lumibrite and 120 click bezel - and you have yourself an amazing dive watch.
To review the specs, please visit Long Island Watch:

Probably my favorite Seiko diver. Really great looking.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing!

@frankroper3274 4 года назад

You are one of the most knowledgeable watch persons on the internet! I love Seikos,,,so many out there I have never seen!

@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78 Год назад

I bought the 051 this year. Fantastic watch.

@robinj.9329 4 года назад

Hi Mark! These are 2 very fine watches! You come across (in these videos) as someone that really enjoys his work! And that is always "refreshing"! I want one of each! Thanks again for a very fine presentation.

@itsallrobbish 6 лет назад

A lovely timepiece! It’s what the Squale wants to be when it grows up!

@cedarcanoe 6 лет назад

Wonderful watches. Seiko is killing it lately.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Indeed; really knocking it out of the park.

@mjk2613 6 лет назад

Marc, just wanted to let you know that your videos really got me interested in Seiko, and because of this video I purchased a SBDC051 from your store. I am an avid collector and have watches from Patek to Rolex to GP to Omega to Panerai and this Seiko I find to have the best value for an everyday diver. I also purchased an SKX from you because everyone says you have to own one, but this model is 10x the quality. It might not have the same prestige as my submariner but it’s a damn good watch. I strongly recommend this watch to anyone watching.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your business.

@itsallrobbish 3 года назад

I JUST GOT ONE, TODAY! I love the look, it’s definitely a cut above the SKX, turtle, sumo, samurai and even the shogun. It can easily be a one watch collection, just get a stainless steel bracelet a shed load of straps, sorted! Great review, once again.

@David67811 5 лет назад

My SBDC051 that was purchased from you just arrived. It is perfect. This was my 1st watch purchase online, out of country. Add one more satisfied customer, due in no small part to your videos.

@melchizedekpsj 6 лет назад

You have not emphasized it is one of the few Seiko divers with a sapphire crystal. I think it is a solid all rounder tool watch. Thank you very much for the video!

@scottlalonde2878 4 года назад

Nice video from a couple years ago. Thank you, Marc

@TheBadGuy1974 6 лет назад

Great information regarding the fact the spb051j is actually the same as the sbdc051 you are the first one that said this and I have been searching for a while, many thanks.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

It sure is.

@thefusilier4702 6 лет назад

Wow.... I just rolled on a Seiko sumo, I had no clue Seiko was going to come out with a 62mas inspiration..... At what I consider affordable price..... Those watches would be deserving with the old school waffle watch strap (AKA) the Vietnam War/ (Apocalypse Now) Amazing,I need two or three months to get back on my feet, so I can purchase one.....

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching.

@Mrhaoable 6 месяцев назад

I have the 053 and it’s blue is absolutely stunning ! I find myself looking at it every time I wear it !

@LastNineBreaker 6 лет назад

Speaking of people complaining about the new Presage line. I think Seiko went the 4R35 route to make the new Presages cheaper, thinking they would sell better in the US market with a lower price tag. Unless they plan to widely distribute them, I think it was a miscalculation because, c'mon, only watch addicts like us that are "in the know" have any clue what a Presage is, and boy are we picky about our movements. Seriously, though. The 4R35 and 6R15 are the same design to my knowledge, just different alloys used in the mechanism. The 4R35 is still a damn good, simple movement.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

I do agree with you. My watcher is not the core Seiko customer by far.

@user-et8vm9cc3t 5 лет назад

Yes, I'd also agree that the 4R35 is a very fine movement, however it doesn't have the "cachet" of the 6R15, which is a higher-tier movement (at least in my opinion) and is "better", somehow (more accurate + 50 hour power reserve). And you're right about the distribution/marketing stuff. Well said !

@robertcalkjr.8325 6 лет назад

Thanks, Mark. The blue looks nice.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Does and is!

@HeadUpKneeDown 6 лет назад

For weeks I've had my mind all made up I would be getting the black version of this. Now that I've watched your video, I'm not near as confident.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

LOL, sorry, and you're welcome!

@triples4good 6 лет назад

Very nice. Love the blue one, but, I love blue dove watches. It needs a signed crown, but definitely not a deal breaker.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Some love the sterile crown, some don't. I would rather see signed, but as you said, certainly NOT a deal breaker.

@gilliebrand 5 лет назад

Probably my favourite watch for comfort, I love my Air-KIng and that is comfortable, but, not as good as the SBDC. One of my best purchases I think, time will tell.

@hersheysquirt6526 4 года назад

The 053 is just so unique. Love it. Was torn between this and the 065/blue hole but I think the blue bezel and uniqueness of the 053 wins out.

@javaman_54 5 лет назад

Mark, you should’ve taken them outdoor. I’d like to see how they look when exposed to natural lighting. Great review for (especially the BLUE) a gorgeous watch.

@Kurtis4hyr 6 лет назад

@ThePSMA 6 лет назад

This watch is beautiful, design wise, the perfect balance between a jewel and an utility diver. Mine is 4 days and its +12 seconds, has been consistently +3 seconds a day.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Nice performance.

@itsallrobbish 4 года назад

Quality is right up there with any Swiss timepieces.

@kingsi4869 4 года назад

@RandomUser221 in all honesty the 6R movements are actually fantastic pieces of timekeeping. I've been lucky that all 3 of my watches with 6R's have all been well within COSC specs with my single 6R35 watch being the better performer, if seiko put a little more time and effort into regulating these movements before throwing them out of the factory doors you would probably find that far less people would have the complaints they do about it. I mean my anecdotal experience can be attributed to luck, but more often than not I hear and read that the movements performance far exceeds expectations.

@sureshobhan 6 лет назад

Nice watches...the blue one is the winner...would look amazing with a brown leather strap with white stitching...

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

+Suresh Obhan It would. Dark brown I thought, no?

@strapped2time 6 лет назад

Picked the sbdc051 as soon as it was released in Japan. Such a lovely piece. One of my favorite watches. Best Seiko I've owned (I put it above the MM300). A perfectly balanced watch aesthetically, IMO.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Wow, that's fighting words! Nice grab.

@FINEST-uz9ek 6 лет назад

Sean how is yours on accuracy? I have seen other videos where they are reporting unbelievable spot on time keeping....

@strapped2time 6 лет назад

Ray Caroli accuracy has been pretty impressive. Around -1 to +1 pretty much. Must be something they did with the D variant of the 6r15. Couldn't be happier. It's my most accurate watch.

@jkidesto714 6 лет назад

Does it wear big? Bigger than the skx007?

@wilsonfreitas8418 5 лет назад

@@jkidesto714Late response here. I have both the 053 and the 007. It wears bigger than the 007.

@pavlinlako3059 6 лет назад

Wow, the blue dial is astonishing, and in my opinion the rubber strap with that perfect stainless buckle and holder, such a great match...I hope i get the chance to own that some day.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Great watch! I love it.

I’ve had the SBDC053 for about 3 months and really like it, I put it on a Uncle Seiko waffle strap. I would like to get it on a bracelet when it becomes available. The lum is amazing, definitely the brightest in my collection.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Long Island Watch don’t know how I can show it here but I will email you a picture

@FINEST-uz9ek 6 лет назад

Keone how is yours doing on accuracy ? I’ve seen other videos where the time keeping on this piece is reported as really top notch.

@ikakau 6 лет назад

Ray Caroli the accuracy is great about +4 seconds a day when I first got it, I will do a more updated check soon. I actually got the Japan issue SPB053 which is the same but the SBDC053 is the export issue.

@FINEST-uz9ek 6 лет назад

Smashed the wrist watch check!

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Is that a good thing?

@ryanmallory8687 6 лет назад

very good

@22Phanatic 6 лет назад

I have the 051 and I must say it is very nice, the hour hand grows on you as you wear the watch at first I was kinda meh but now I like it just fine, the Diashield on the case and bracelet do keep it nice . Don’t hate me for this but I put a handmade leather strap on it from Vintager straps and it’s super comfortable, I’ve also worn it on Natos it’s a strap Monster for sure. If you want one of these JDM models guys buy it from Mark before they’re gone , you will love it!

@FINEST-uz9ek 6 лет назад

Rob how is your doing on accuracy ? I’ve seen videos on this piece where accuracy is reported as incredible good more than what I expected from 6r15

@22Phanatic 6 лет назад

Ray Caroli accuracy is well within spec , strong on a Timegrapher +/- 3 sec. on the wrist different story 7-10 sec slow day

@FINEST-uz9ek 6 лет назад

Thanks Rob, that’s what I thought would be the case....7-10 seconds a day is what my SKX does ... I like the look of the watch, would be nice if the time keeping was a notch above a 007.

It is too expensive for me, I just bought a discontinued "Air Blue" with lumibrite, Miyota 9015, sapphire crystal for less than $200. Just received a Seiko SKX009D2 from Marc, I absolutely love it, the floppy bracelet is great.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

It's cheaper than $5K!

@user-lg2jm9zg6l 6 лет назад

Going to have to scrape up funds for the blue on a bracelet (I wouldn't mind if the price were to drop a little by then ;) ).

@Lee_K_5555 6 лет назад

Finally -- a milled clasp, sapphire crystal, and it's actually all aligned! Things are looking up for Seiko. Now, about that 3 Hz 6R15 movement... I have the same movement in my Sumo and it's just okay. At least ETA gives you 80 hours of power reserve when they slowed down the frequency of the 2824-2 to become the Powermatic 80. I do hope Seiko seriously considers bringing the 8L35 down to the lower price range, or perhaps considers making the 6R15 a little more competitive against the 4 Hz ETA and Miyota movements, or even against its own 4R35. I would be very interested in learning what the bezel insert is made of.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Me too!

@jdelaney9325 6 лет назад

Marc, The bracelet does have the pin and sleeve. I actually purchased both watches from Japan and also picked up a bracelet from Hong Kong off of eBay for the blue model. It was the exact bracelet. I compared it with the bracelet from the SBDCO51 and it matched exactly. I have to say that both watches are also stunning even on the rubber strap. I have small wrists and these watches wear remarkably well. To be honest, the blue is my favorite, but I enjoy both of them.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

Thank you sir! Enjoy those great catches!

Hey Mark, these two time pieces are stunning, have you had any problems regarding them loosing time and have you seen any problems with lubrication on the movements in this range, I’ve seen a review on the Prospex PADI SBDC055 which is having slouch issues cool vid mate.

@wontondestructxn 6 лет назад

I bought the SBDC051 on a recent trip to Japan. I actually like the SBDC053 more, but I prefer the SS bracelet. I think there's also the SBDC055 PADI edition.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

I hear there are more versions coming out.

@robvanstraaten683 6 лет назад

Great video and a great blue watch. Does it have the same fit as a squale 1521? Or does it wear a bit larger?

Larger.

@Chazman1946 6 лет назад

Mark, would the bracelet on the SBDC051 fit my 8" wrist without needing an extra link? I used to have the titanium Shogun and that bracelet was too tight.

Hi Mark I just bought the sbdc055 for my son on his graduation and it said its manual winding but when i go to wind it, it never tops. I went as far at so 200 turns and it never tops off. Does any one know whats going on? My other watches they normally top at around 40 to 60 turns. Also can I get the Bracelet of the 051 and use it on the 055. I think it would be great to have both the rubber for the pool and the Bracelet for him to go out to dinner with his girl. Thanks for all your great videos Love the info.

@FatSamEIE 6 лет назад

Luis Padilla it’s automatic not manual wind so you can wind it but it won’t stop like a manual wind only watch- and you don’t need to wind past 30 winds as long as it’s being worn. The bracelet fits perfectly- there are two kinds, one with polished centre links and one with brushed(my favourite of the two). You can pick them up on eBay anywhere between $110-200 I think 👍🏽

Still waiting for the prices to come down further. I expect the black dial SBDC051 to come down to $700. I'm seeing it now selling for $798. The blue dial SBDC053 is selling usually for $100-150 less.

@islandwatch 6 лет назад

+Shipmate The blue is less due to the bracelet.

@shipmate3577 6 лет назад

Figured that was the case. Unlike most Seikos, I like the bracelet on this one. That new rubber strap (same one on the new Turtle/SRP777 I believe) is amazing. The keeper is perfect... the buckle is a bit big, but stylish. I'll buy the SBDC051 w/bracelet for $750. Great video Marc.
