SEIKO PROSPEX DIVER 300M HI-BEAT SLA025 WATCH REVIEW


The SLA025 is really a modern re-interpretation 

SEIKO PROSPEX DIVER 300M HI-BEAT SLA025 WATCH REVIEW
From the 6159-7001 and it was Seiko’s first attempt for an expert divers watch. Launched in 1968, it had been their third diver, succeeding the legendary 6217-8001 also known as 62MAS and 6215-7001. The timepiece was well-in front of it is time, having a sturdy and distinct monocoque situation design which permitted to have an impressive water proofing rating of 300m - double from the 62MAS. And also to ensure better precision and reliability, the 6159-7001 was outfitted having a hi-beat Grand Seiko automatic movement running at 36,000 bph.

Sidebar: The word “high beat” 

Describes movements whose balance wheel oscillates quicker than 28,800 bph. Benefits include greater precision and improved reliability. Interestingly, the timepiece were built with a relatively short production length of only two years. Although Seiko remains silent about this, it's speculated the watch, although surpassing its 300m water proofing rating during tests, wasn't sufficiently protected against shocks which led to sprang crystals. Nevertheless, it laid the building blocks for those future Seiko professional watches for diving.

Large and chunky is easy way describe this diver, and that's the way it wears around the wrist. I'm able to accomplish a sizable watch with my 7 1/2 inch wrist, and with respect to the watch, I do not mind, but nonetheless wish it was 43mm such as the non diver. The rubber strap appears to become improved, it's not as stiff, or at best the black rubber isn't as stiff because the eco-friendly one I reviewed. Victorinox Swiss Army also opted for a typical lug width now, 22mm instead of 21mm.

The SLA025 dons a beautiful matte black “gilt” 

Dial with complimenting gold-colored indices rim and minute track. “Gilt” is really a term talking about the gold coloured printing around the dial and it is preferred by collectors because of its vintage panache. The colour matches the colour tone from the markings around the bezel, developing a look that's understated yet gorgeous.

Like a professional dive watch, functionality is prioritised among others using the dial being tidy and highly legible. The indices are full of Lumibrite: an exclusive Seiko lume that gives a powerful glow which lasts as much as 5 hrs. Furthermore, unlike other choices from the Prospex line, the dial doesn't feature the Prospex “X” emblem - a stylish design cue that includes to the visual cleanliness. Protecting the dial is really a dual dome azure very with anti-reflective coating. The option of azure inside a tool watch is really a natural one, given its durability.

SWISS MILITARY GMT WATCH REVIEW SWISS MILITARY GMT WATCH REVIEW With regards to inspiration or design There's without doubt the Swiss Military GMT used Rolex for example, more particularly the Sub C for me. The situation and crown pads are clearly similar, although the dial, hands and markers are totally different. In my opinion, the Swiss Military is much more of the homage than most, since many homages are nearly copies having a different name around the dial. Now, their will be many who disagree beside me, and don't take care of homages of any sort.
