introducing the all-new Seiko sla061 not quite a Willard not quite the Willard-X this one has
a streamlined flowing case that gives the watch a little bit more elegance and it is of course the
Uemura we did review the first Uemura ever SLA051, now we got the 061 it has joined the black series,
Seiko fans have taken to the black series so all their dive watches are getting the black
series treatment here I think they did it the best it's very subtle it does have that creamy
patina but not overdone and there's not too much orange we have an orange seconds hand and divers
200 that's it it's a little bit more classy and clean versus let's say the 63 mas with the orange
loom and the orange bezel which is a little bit more playful which one do you gravitate towards
I think I like this one best it is much more expensive more than double the 63 mas black series
coming in at $3300 USD! WOW! Okay that's marine master 300 territory but this one does have the
8L35 in it. a hand assembled movement and it is chronometer grade it's not regulated but it
is truly a top tier caliber we're going to see it on the timegrapher at the end of the video
one of my favorite details about the Uemura is that beautiful stepped case right on top of the
cushion it has a gorgeous line that travels throughout the watch right on that shoulder
blade mid case beautiful and it does wear slimmer than its size indicates because of that cushion
now speaking of size these are the measurements 44 millimeters in diameter but we have the secret
measurement at 40.7 what's the secret measurement that's the bezel how our eye sees the watch on our
wrist and perceives the size we have a thickness of 13 even drilled lugs and a lug to lug of 49.3
that's the crucial measurement that's the longest one but it is under that 50 mark and we're gonna
see it on my wrist in some far away macros throughout the video and you judge for yourself
six and a half inch wrist okay guys now the strap Seiko was tricky here they gave us a silicone
strap but it's not the same one that comes on the affordable okay you know how I know that when I
tried this one on it felt extremely comfortable so did this one but this one was much more
comfortable and when we look at the back we can see the Uemura has ridges or reliefs that maybe
let a little bit of air in let your skin breathe these little details for the higher priced watch
and also the Uemura has a thinner keeper and a thinner milled out buckle 63mas is thicker with
a thicker buckle and this Uemura is limited to #1000 units you can see the case back it is flat
and we got number #137 we have a flat sapphire on top curved on the inside so it is a single domed
sapphire with anti-reflective coating the crown is nice and big at 6.4 millimeters and it screws
down perfectly every time giving the watch 200 meters of water resistance ISO wet tested and
certified now I forgot to mention that it does come with a bracelet all right and it's
a fantastic bracelet the finishing is excellent it's oyster style unfortunately does have a dive
extension twin button release fully milled and of course it does have the super hard DLC diamond
light carbon coating okay so no affordable pvd cheap paint spray this is gonna be very durable
it is pins and collars and just like the strap it's 20 down to 18. all right so the affordable
come with two straps this one comes with a strap and a bracelet now the dial does have texture but
you know what it's so subtle it's tough to see I wish they made it a little bit more in your face
it's supposed to represent the sea bed floor the sands of the sea okay so that's what it's supposed
to represent and it's just tough to see you need the right lighting just the right lighting to get
to it I do love that we have the symmetrical loom because the date is at 4 30. all right printed
chapter ring the bezel stainless steel just like the affordable and just like the affordable coated
in black titanium carbon but this one is a glossy finish and now let's hear that bezel
lines up perfect and it's super buttery and smooth much more refined than the affordable it has
a creaminess to it and big fan of the soft coin edge with a gentle taper over the 63 mas now the
dial is pressed it is a prospect style it doesn't have the deeply filled loom that we would see on
the mm300 even though we have an mm-300 price here so keep that in mind the hands are half
brushed and half polished and I'm going to say the same thing wish it was completely brushed
for better legibility even though it's still very legible the weight on the bracelet is 185 on the
strap let's check it out 124 all right much better okay we have the caliber 8l35b fully in house made
in the grand Seiko studio uses mems technology and it's an absolute gem as you can see here
Seiko does not regulate these these are plus 15 to minus 10 seconds a day 26 joules hack and wine
automatic with 50 hours of power reserve and you get that smooth 28 eight vph sweep beautiful okay
we are gonna do 12 down now to see the positional variance how is this watch going to react on your
wrist we got powerful amplitude still with no beat error plus six plus five plus five
all right so doing very good the al usually does very good let's ignore the first number
and the fourth and final round plus five so one plus five it's gonna do about plus two
to plus four on the wrist okay there is the loom shot very powerful Seiko lumabrite in green and
i love the reflection off the single dome on the inside all right not as strong as marine master
for sure but it's pretty good and look at that symmetry because of the black date disc at 430
the new Uemura is absolutely gorgeous and it feels premium positive impression of quality here love
the bezel the sapphire the dial texture the hand assembled movement the bracelet pretty good this
strap though is amazing so comfortable it gets a thumbs up from me and if you have the wrist then
you got to get it if I had the wrist I would get it I'm wearing a 36. I do gravitate towards the
smaller watches but if I had the wrist I would get this for sure it's a beauty
