Love the new date window. I was never a fan when they put the lume plot on the chapter ring to the right of the previous date.

@daleyfamily2179 5 месяцев назад

I love Seiko, but at this price point I don't know that they can command this price with the competition out there, like Doxa, Mido, Longines etc.

@pk1342 5 месяцев назад

The SJE and SLA line is more than good enough to go toe-toe with Longines/Doxa and the SPB line can compete pretty well against longines. Although the spb line doesn't offer cosc accuracy like mido Seiko makes up in other areas with superior design/ dials, finishing, ergonomics etc

@Andrew-yy2ye 4 месяца назад

I've a spb147 and a longines and my Seiko watch gets more wrist time although the movement is crap haha 👍

@jayeyesacks1604 5 месяцев назад

I'm very interested in this line from Seiko, but I have doubts as to the accuracy of the 6R55. The previous iterations of the 6R movements can be erratic at best, which suggests that less emphasis placed on power reserve and more placed on timekeeping at this point would be a better strategy. And on-the-fly adjustment is an absolute must for all brands going forward.

@michaeldasilva5079 Месяц назад

Hi Chris. Would you still pick the blue Citizen Fujitsubo over the blue version of this Seiko?

@HonoluluBlue81 5 месяцев назад

How many variations of the 62MAS can Seiko milk their customers for? With increasing prices and poor QC this is gonna be a No MAS for me.

@dragoljubzdravkovic1737 5 месяцев назад

Kinda reminds me of something I would like to see from Seiko, a new interpretation of SPORK

@petergrams6390 5 месяцев назад

Just a note: seiko has multiple 62mas reissues. I think it would be helpful to use the actual model numbers when you’re comparing it to previous watches

@RedwoodAggie 5 месяцев назад

I think these look fantastic. I love the refinements they made, but of course a quick adjust clasp would always be welcome. I sincerely hope Seiko is working on engineering one right now. The shade of blue offered is excellent. I was previously tempted by the SPB297 with the blue textured dial and black bezel, but this may be better. I've been hoping Tudor would come out with a blue Pelagos 39 or a blue version of the new Black Bay 41 diver, but they keep disappointing. I may just get this Seiko instead, as I've been itching for a blue diver for a couple years.

@superdad4324 5 месяцев назад

I hope the movement has been further refined as the 6r35 is and was such a hit and miss in terms of accuracy and consistency at least in my opinion compared to the 4r series. The skx ran 20 plus years without a facelif though :D

@wayneturner1336 5 месяцев назад

I have the first gen spb147j1 without the lume plot at 3 and I’d be hard pressed to update it. It’s the old mustang problem, get the four cylinder or the six but it still looks the same. I like the 6r35 movement, the 70 hour power reserve, and I put it on an uncle Seiko bracelet and it’s pretty well the best Seiko I have in my watchbox. Not sure if I’d get this to basically have the date window at the 4:30.

How does it differ from the Spb143? Which is 40.5 mm, which I bought for $650 on the Grey market I do love the SPB495 though, still unsure whether the bracelet suits this style. I usually put it on a leather nato or sail cloth

@brianmurphy8154 5 месяцев назад

I like this offering. However seeing the decline in Seiko over the last few years, makes me nervous. Their prices go up and their QC continues to disappoint. I would be nervous spending over 1K for what I know is going to be a mediocre bracelet, sub par clasp, and very high chance of alignment issues. I expect Seiko will find people demand more than an offering of brand history, when spending over the 1K price point.

@WatchChris 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate it!

@nightstalker824 5 месяцев назад

For real! Well said 👏. I just sold my Prospex GMT diver LE. Paid $1700 out the door. That was my most expensive seiko ever. I guess I was expecting a $1700 watch. OK, sure, in house movement. What good is an house movement when it consistently lost 25 seconds per day? The crown movement and setting felt just like the cheap $300 prospex models. You know? That seiko "cheap" crown feeling. It did look great, but at the end of the day, I realized there was nothing in terms of quality/fit/finish separating the $1700 GMT diver from a $500 king turtle or samurai. I have since moved on from it...

@ralpingpong 5 месяцев назад

Seikos numbers are going up again since 2017, each year is financially better than the year before. Why should they change their strategy? Also QC got waaaaay better.

@psyteo3130 4 месяца назад

You’re tripping if you think Seiko is declining. They’re getting more popular & their status is going upmarket, no matter the whining & crying from certain people. More and more people are choosing SPB Seikos vs entry level Swiss now(Tissot, Hamilton)..

@@psyteo3130 if you are a $500 price point or under, maybe. 1K or over there are far better options. Christopher Ward, etc…

@ryan850r 5 месяцев назад

This tier of seiko is stuck in a hard spot price wise. The 1k to 2k watch market has really become challenging. You either want name recognition, in which case youd probably just go up higher and get tudor or you stay below 1k and get a better quality microbrand. i also agree that seiko needs to upgrade to on the fly with everyone else doing it now.

@tonytrinidad5294 Месяц назад

Love the size, wearability and even the date placement. However, the lume is disappointing.

@dustinr16 5 месяцев назад

I like some of the changes to this watch: smaller size, like the new date and the improved bracelet. Unfortunately the downsides are the cheap aluminum insert (the SPB143 had a nicer brushed steel insert) and no grey sunburst dial available (yet). Wish they had done a matte brushed ceramic insert. I would have then sold my SPB143 to get one.

@FurkanCemTurfanda 5 месяцев назад

Even Tudor has aluminum.

@dustinr16 5 месяцев назад

@@FurkanCemTurfanda I could care less what Tudor has. Besides, Tudor has ceramic on the Pelagos too. Aluminum inserts scratch very easily. Ceramic doesn’t fade or scratch; it’s very durable. The only advantages of aluminum are that you can colour match it perfectly and it’s inexpensive to replace (except on a Seiko where you have to buy the whole bezel and insert together for $200). I’ll take ceramic over aluminum inserts any day of the week hence why most of the divers in my collection have ceramic inserts.

@lukewalker1051 5 месяцев назад

Nice watch and some good improvements. One regression however...I personally hate the 4:30 date window. It is a stain on an otherwise very clean dial. Also, I am into dive watches that are quartz but still with old school dive watch aesthetic. I dislike mechanical movements, an antithetic view to watch fairy collectors...due to their inaccuracy and maybe because I am a mechanical engineer who have owned too many Seiko's with inaccurate movements and see them for what they are. Btw, one of my very favorite Seiko dive watches that I own and will never sell speaking of 300m, is the Seiko Tuna Sbbn033 with Stainless bezel which you can find in nice shape for $1100 or so used with domed Hardless which has more character than the flat Sapphire more recent Tuna. The Tuna has a more tool sporty vibe compared this most recent reimagination of the MAS

@borassictime918 5 месяцев назад

My take on this is Seiko were (past tense) great watch designers; 62MAS, 6105, Alpinist. Visually simply fantastic. Four + decades later it is now homaging itself for lack of any original thinking. The 6R55 is still dragging itself along at 3Hz, the pin’n’collar low-rent bracelet with its nasty 1990s clasp is really subpar in 2024, case finishing is meh, and this festival of mediocrity is priced at $1300 😳 Not too crazy??? It probably costs

@Theflyguy522 5 месяцев назад

I love the history of seiko and have many in my collection. But they are smoking crack asking $1500 for a watch where the chapter ring or bezel doesn’t line up and you get no on the fly clasp adjustment…. Utter lunacy…

@Apex_Apeq 3 месяца назад

But not with this new 62 mas. I already tried this watch in AD. The bracelet is much more comfortable compared to the old 62 mas. The bezel alignment is also in the right place. Seiko really upgraded their product on this model

@DedekMartin 5 месяцев назад

I stumbled upon the previous model of this watch so many times and was so close to pulling the trigger. And I always realized that the visual difference between the watch itself and the bracelet is so drastic I just could not look at the watch and not notice / hate it. It feels like they took some random bracelet from another watch and used it here to cut down the costs. For me it is ruining the estethics of this watch completely.

These watches are $2000 AUD in Australia. Great looking watches but the type of QC appropriate for a $300 watch. A watch has 2 jobs. Look good and keep the time. The accuracy of these movements isn’t good enough for a $2000 watch.

@waffle911 5 месяцев назад

Seiko tends to wear a bit small for their size with relatively short lug-to-lug dimensions for a given diameter; 42mm wears like 40mm, 40mm wears like 38mm, etc. 6.25"-7.25" circumference is common wrist size range for most men. Historically, case sizes for men's watches tended to fall between 34mm-38mm, with 40mm being considered "large." Case sizes ballooned to oversized proportions with 42mm-47mm becoming relatively common by the 00's, and since the 10's sizes have been shrinking back down to more classic proportions that actually fit most men's wrists without looking like a helicopter landing pad.

I'll build my own 62MAS with reproduction parts and an NH35 of Seiko wants to insult its customers so badly, or better yet, I'll grab an Islander Northport for a bit more charisma and QC at the price Seiko _should_ be selling a 62MAS at.
