introducing the all-new Seiko night diver Spb255 reminiscent of the 1968 classic 6159 but this one
a reimagination it is more closely related to the 6159 descendant the legendary marine master
300 with the jewel-like case and that flat brushed middle portion that breaks up those
two bold powerful strong lines that define the marine master's iconic looks if you want a true
recreation go for the sla025 and the affordable original marine master 200 spb087 now on to this
one so guys we already looked at the black series twice 63 mas a fan favorite and the high-end
luxury Uemura we're not going to do the Willard x this will be the last one in and for this marine
master 200 it's just going to be a quick short video if some of you are interested in buying it
available at Kavar jewelers email me to discuss it I'm a big fan of this case it's extremely
comfortable it cups it cups the wrist like no other Seiko a cushion case like no other but
I'm gonna ding it right away because the signature high polish bevel that runs along the side of the
case is matte and you know what they black mirror polished it on the Uemura and I think they should
have black mirror polished that bevel it would have definitely elevated this watch to the
stratosphere because it is a looker it's gorgeous Seiko is saying that the orange catches the light
in nighttime diving now nighttime diving sounds terrifying pitch black going into more pitch black
Seiko is saying that the minuscule amount of light that passes through the ocean at night
is absorbed by the orange color so visibility during nighttime diving should be excellent but
I'm going to ding it because the orange on the bezel is not loomed like the orange minute hand
the dimensions 42 millimeters in diameter 12.5 in thickness drilled lugs for easy strap changes
and a lug to lug of 48.8 so not bad I find that the mm-200 wears very similar to a Rolex
submariner on the wrist visually the new 41 so if you're a fan of the sub and you need like
a beater this might be a good option of course it's going to be more comfortable than the sub
the sub has that protruding case back that just destroys the wrist this one is going to
be comfortable when we flip the watch over we are indeed greeted by the limited edition number 500
units now that legendary wave does protrude a little bit if you measure with this wave you're
gonna hit 13 millimeters we got two straps with this limited edition I like it on the silicone
very comfortable 20 down to 18 we have a signed buckle and signed keeper both DLC coated as well
your second strap is going to be your most comfortable strap the psycho weave strap it's
phenomenal signed keeper you see the wave there you can actually dive with these just be aware
that these straps do raise the watch by four millimeters on your wrist the bezel teeth are coin
edge but they are thicker and broader than on the 63 mas this one closer to the marine master 300
with a stainless steel insert coated with black titanium carbon ghosted out grey numerals and
markers except for from 0 to 20 where it is painted orange now let's have a listen
everything lines up and it's a joy to use the dial is matte black no texture pressed indices
creamy loom and we have the fan favorite iso certification loom plot on that printed chapter
ring of course I would love to see a no date or move the date to the six o'clock position
the hands are half brushed and half polished I wish they were completely brushed to aid in
legibility because black on black on black is a little tough to see but the legibility believe
me is still good because of those thickly applied loom on the hands I do love that
stop light seconds hand ticking away there very nice touch little bit of flavor right there with
the red dot the crown is unguarded 6.5 at the four o'clock where it should be easy to grip
and operate 200 meters of wet tested officially certified water resistance grams on the strap
very light okay we're going to check her out on the timegrapher 6r35 hack and wine automatic 70
hours of power reserve 24 joules and we did the 63 mas it did not perform good and this one's looking
much better a little bit of noise there be air 0.2 very nice 283 amplitude nice and strong
and look at the rate plus four plus one and the fourth and final round plus two but it actually
just went to plus one good job okay we're going to do 12 down now to see how is this watch gonna
perform on your wrist amplitude did drop typical of these movements beat air went to perfect
wow all right but what's gonna happen to the rate oh it's dipping plus two plus two minus two let's
see if this settles I might have to keep it for a little bit longer because this is interesting
okay we're gonna do we're gonna do five rounds at least you know what let's go to six because we
got plus two and now we're at negative one fifth round negative one okay let's do one more oh wow
sixth and final round zero so is it possible to get a good six r movement it definitely is but
you know what it's hit and miss you're gonna have to get lucky I do recommend breaking them in for a
month and then regulating them okay there is the loom shot and it is powerful Seiko lume bright
even though it's patinaed and orange and the loom pip is green this night diver comes in at 1200 usd
and you are getting two extremely comfortable straps an iso rated pro diver sapphire crystal
with anti-reflective coating brand with history reinterpretation limited edition and it does
have a hard coating there's a lot to like it still has excellent legibility not as good as
a normal marine master 200 but it's still pretty good with a robust and reliable movement and hey
this one is performing pretty good so is this the marine master for you let me know down below and
