Over the years, Seiko has produced thousands of different models of watches. They usually come with dry and obscure reference numbers as their name such as skx007 and sng015 that are not easy to remember. So Seiko fans have given watches more affectionate monikers or nicknames that are easier to remember. In this list, I present you with the top 10 Seiko watches with nicknames. Watch the video first but here is the list.
10. Seiko Atlas: amzn.to/2Q7Vajw
9. Seiko Stargate
8. Seiko Bullhed
7. Seiko Ripley
6. Turtle: amzn.to/2MW1JI4
5. Seiko Sumo: amzn.to/2Qb5BCP
4. Seiko Sea Urchin: amzn.to/2MVNhzF
3. Seiko Monster: amzn.to/2oJctem
2. Seiko Tuna: amzn.to/2CtvKtO
1. Seiko Samurai: amzn.to/2Q4SB1L
Plus a couple of honourable mentions: Seiko Arnie & Seiko Pogue.
Also thanks to the people that the following watches were not included in the list:Seiko Snowflake,Seiko Helmet
, Seiko Frankenmonster, SeikoJohn Player Special
,Seiko UFO, Seiko Sawtooth,
Seiko Bottle Cap, Seiko Golgo 13 and Seiko Cocktail time.
Rolex Watch nicknames
Other watch manufacturers such as Rolex also have nicknames for some of their watches. Examples include Rolex Batman BLNR, Rolex Hulk, Rolex Bubbleback, Rolex Great White, Rolex Stelline, Rolex Solo, Rolex John Player Special, Rolex Pepsi, Rolex Root Beer, Rolex Coke, Rolex Kermit, Rolex Smurf, Rolex Polar, Rolex President, Rolex Paul Newman, Rolex Pussy Galore, Rolex James Bond, Rolex Steve McQueen, Rolex Jean-Claude Killy

Back in late 1968, I asked a friend of mine to bring back a Seiko Watch from Japan when he went there on R&R from Vietnam. We were both assigned to the 20th Special Operation Squadron, USAF stationed at Nha Trang, Vietnam. I gave him a $100, and I told him to get something nice and flashy. All I asked was that it be an automatic with a day/date display. After two weeks in Japan, he brought me back the most beautiful Seiko I ever saw. It was gold in a chronometer/diver case with an automatic, 23 jewel movement. The case was 12K gold back and all. On the back, the case lid was engraved with two diving dolphins opposing each other. He told me the name of the watch was "The Diving Dolphins". He said he bought the watch wholesale for 60,000 jen at the Seiko factory, and he gave $40 back. This watch was absolutely too beautiful to wear especially flying as a gunner on a UH-1F helicopter and running both sides of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. I always kept it locked up in my B-4 bag and I kept it locked in a metal locker. At any rate, the watch was stolen shortly before I came back to the US in 1969. I would like to know if anyone else might know of such a Seiko. My friend told me it was only made for the Japanese market. I have owned Seiko Watches since 1968 going on 55 years. Most of my buddies from Vietnam do the same.

@ronwinkles2601 Год назад
@@wristaction Any help will be appreciated in finding out some history on this watch. I do know Seiko had only entered the diving watch market in 1966, so this must have been an experimental model. To my knowledge, it was never offered in the US market. I always regretted losing it. My friend went to a special effort to get it for me, and he certainly exceeded my wildest dreams in finding such a beautiful watch. I regretted its loss so much when I got back to The US I bought a 10K gold Longine 5 Star Admiral day/date watch. I still have it, but it never took the place of the Seiko Diving Watch.
@wristaction
@wristaction Год назад
@@ronwinkles2601 I have posted a message on a forum. It seems that the 2 opposing dolphins is throwing people off. Can you give more details on the case, for example the shape, and did it have a bezel, any other buttons apart from the crown, any extra info will be useful. Also, was the day/date in English or Japanese? Is it similar to the 6216: www.hubcityvintage.com/archives/1967-seiko-6216-9000-seikomatic-39j-baby-grand or the 6217: www.fratellowatches.com/seiko-watches/tbt-buying-a-seiko-6217-8001-aka-the-big-crown-62mas/#gref

Love my pepsi samurai. My first real watch. My now wife bought it for me when the rerelease came out. It will never leave my collection as it was worn on my wedding day, and in the delivery room the day my son was born. Threw on a sapphire crystal and added a strapcode hexad bracelet (strongly recommended doing both, at LEAST the sapphire crystal for more resilience). really feels like a luxury piece. Seiko club is like a family! Blessings

The Pogue should have been the #1 watch. It dial’s Orange color with the Pepsi ring is very unique, and could be recognized from across the room. Also, since it was the only watch that was used in space (first Automatic Chronograph in space), makes it’s a special watch in history.

The "depth rating" is only a measurement. It does NOT mean how deep you can immerse the watch during a swimming dive. It ONLY represents PSI. Pounds per Square Inch. Static pressure resistance test. Non-static is a person wearing it and moving around. A 30M watch you may get away with ACCIDENTALLY washing dishes. A 100M rated watch can be worn in gentle swimming. 200M means you can go snorkeling, skin diving, and swimming robustly. 300M is SCUBA (Air Tank) dive rated. Greater numbers, the more robust.

Hey There, you got to get your waterresistance terms right.100 m waterresistance does NOT mean that you can dive to 100 m with it. 100 m or 10 bar is only for swimming and snorkeling. You will have to go to 200 m resist (20 bar) for light diving.

Hi Jeffry. You're pretty much correct.

Maybe i missed it, (i doubt it) but how could you leave out The Shogun? You've got Seiko 5's in there and gave special mentions and yet couldn't find a place for The Shogun..really?

Who cares what you believe son. The real question is, why the faak aren't you as pissed that the Shogun was left out like that? Why you went on the offensive with me brah? That shit ain't cool.

Instead of using reference numbers as the name for their watches Seiko should use the nicknames as the watches real name. That is good marketing and advertising .

The fify five fathoms looks like a seriously expensive watch, if you didn't know what it was.

the first automatic in space was the Vostok of Yuri gagarin, the Pogue is the first automatic chornogrpah in space

Gagarin wasn't wearing a Vostok. People get this incorrect a lot simply because his capsule was called "Vostok 1". He wore the standard soviet issue 17-jewel Sturmanskie (made by First Moscow Watch Factory). The Sturmanskie was a special issue watch for Soviet Air Force pilots only.

Baby tunas are usual monsters with 200m water resistance, the shroud on the case is plastic, just for the matter of design. Great video though!

I knew that the baby tuna was a cut down version of it's big brother, but I didn't realise that the outer shell was plastic. Thanks for the tip.

My favorite is the Starfish, either in gold body with black rubber strap, or in stainless steel with black bezel.

Thanks Jules. Must admit, I'd never heard of this one. It looks like a Monster with an ususual bezel, hence it's name I guess.

Frankenmonster. A short run. And never reissued. But still a Seiko unique. Great list, it's so hard to give a run down on unique Seikos. I don't think ANY other watch company has this branding.

great comment. It seems that everyday, someone, somewhere knows about a unique series of Seiko watches.
