introducing the Seiko snr049 limited edition lx line nicknamed the skyline and it's an absolute
gorgeous stunner batman gmt wow right off the bat we can tell that the watch is absolutely gorgeous
is not new but there are still new examples lying around why is that because the price 5500 usd now
what are you getting for your money is it worth it well that's what I'm going to try to find out
in this video now the skyline got its nickname from its beautiful dial it is representative
of looking at the earth from low orbit space gradient sunray dial fades from blue to black
the blue representing the horizon of our beautiful planet and the black representing
deep space hugging our planet phenomenal dial and we have a blue gmt hand those two differences are
basically the only things from the non-limited and i believe because the non-limited edition exists
that's why we still have units of the limited because people have more negotiating power
on the non-limited and they rather just save and get that one than the limited the 5r
spring driver is an undecorated 9r66 from grand Seiko it is a true traveler's gmt three days of
power reserve 0.5 seconds a day and it's fully jeweled 30 jewels we are not gonna see it on the
time grapher because it doesn't tick the seconds hand glides very fluid mesmerizing and stunning to
look at a welcome addition to any watch collection a spring driver these are the measurements 44.8
in diameter so pretty big there and a thickness of 14.7 wow so it's also thick although Seiko did
engineer this case with a lower center of gravity so it should help out in wearability no drilled
lugs and a lug to lug a 50.9 okay so right on that rim for my six and a half inch wrist but it does
have the Seiko magic and it wears surprisingly well the sapphire crystal is completely flat and
it absolutely disappears here Seiko uses their super clear coating and it shows it's just world
class ar coding we have a batman bezel that is also sapphire so dual sapphire here and it's
bi-directional it turns buttery smooth with just the right amount of tension fantastic the case is
made completely from titanium wow it tricked me I thought it was stainless steel because of how well
finished it is bracelet is also titanium pins and collars you have that traditional marine master
300 large high polished bevel that's hand zeratsu polished so you're getting a little bit of old
time watchmaking in this watch now we do have male end links they do downturn almost immediately and
it looks like there's no micro adjusts but there is you hold both buttons down and it will extend
did you see the link disappear
fully milled titanium and there you can see the solid case back is flat the crown is nice
and big at 6.9 millimeters it screws down flawlessly giving the watch 100 meters of
water resistance I don't know why it can't get more it looks like a marine master case here I
wouldn't be surprised if it could do more being a traveler's gmt you pull out the crown once
and you can jump the hour that's the traveler's gmt
so to change the date you actually have to keep jumping it forward and if you want to go back
the date goes back so amazing movement here if you are a traveler you're gonna love this the dial has
the odd numbers in between those applied indices so the bezel has the even I love when gmt's have
all the numbers and you can see the power reserve right at the nine and eight o'clock hour indices
it is also applied there frame date window at three o'clock now the finishing I don't think
this was made in the Grand Seiko studio I'm sure the movement was of course it's a spring driver
but we do have dust here finishing on the indices my king Seiko surpasses it and you know I've seen
some SLA's like the SLA055 and the SLA043 that I know for a fact were made in the brand new grand
Seiko studio those ones were a lot cleaner this one is still great I've seen worse watches from
Rolex from Longines from from for many other brands but this one does have a speck of it seems
like honey or goo right in the middle of the zero where it says 10 bar on the dial so gonna ding
that for sure the finishing is not the greatest for this price I think it should be a little bit
better but again it's only under extreme extreme macro here it is on my six and a half inch wrist
and oh my god it's unbelievably gorgeous I can forgive the finishing I can forgive the size
wow what a statement piece it looks like a boss it's gorgeous man phenomenal
a full titanium watch with all the links
grams wow very light for such a tank there is the lume shot impressive Seiko lumabrite gmt
hand loomed the back of the seconds hand is loomed you can see it it's pretty wide and the sapphire
bezel is also loomed awesome this is gorgeous as a Seiko fan it is tough not to love this thing fully
titanium has the legendary spring drive batman colorway sapphire oh man love it love it love it
the finishing if it was better I would be over the moon I would be going nuts in this video
and it wears magically even though it's a huge tank it wears great on my wrist now guys if
