Did Seiko fix their previous mistake what's up guys falling Titan here and today this is it we
got one a watch that created a lot of controversy and heated debate among watch enthusiasts the SSC
813 because it looked like a Rolex Daytona homage and there's no doubt there is a similarity but I
don't think Seiko liked being compared to Rolex that's why we got an emergency refresh pivot
introducing the all-new ssc911 and what a fitting number 911 emergency because maybe Seiko saw this
as an emergency we got to fix our watch we got to inject it with some Seiko DNA and a lot of my
friends are Seiko fans more so than me and I got some DMS when this came out you know what they're
happy although it's a step in the right direction they're not 100 satisfied but right off that bat
the biggest change and my favorite update is that at bezel we got a gorgeous high quality scratch
resistant anodized aluminum with that granular texture tachymeter bezel so that's a huge nod
to the original speed timer the case design is basically the same as the older version with a
high polish side slab sides with brushing on top of the lugs even the taper on the lugs downwards
to the faceted tips both exact same so all they did was just enlarge it a bit I'll be
the first to say it I love the changes even though I prefer smaller watches I don't mind this bigger
one doesn't wear that much larger now speaking of bigger let's do the measurements I got 41.4
millimeters in diameter secret measurement the sapphire crystal 32 millimeters the old one was 31
13 millimeters thick we got no drilled lugs and a lug to Lug of 45.9 now the bracelet it is nothing
special just like the old one however there's a new annoyance it's 21 millimeters now instead of
20. so it's going to be a tad more difficult to find straps tapering down to 18 just like
the old one we got solid end links solid links I would say it looks like a rounded out oyster or a
less aggressive presidential style bracelet it's a two-piece with I believe pins and collars fully
milled clasp twin button release signed Seiko and yes a lot of people mentioned that the end link
looks like it belongs on another watch I believe that was on purpose for style points um yeah if it
was Square I don't know because the case is almost like a 62 Mas it's a little bit more difficult to
pair up the end links now the dial they don't have a white dial version yet of this new one
but they got this gorgeous Sun Ray silver it's got a beautiful Shimmer it looks much better than the
panda 813 which has more of a eggshell matte dull look I'm in favor of this new whitish silver and
I love the splash of red the red sweep and 60 Minute sub dial is another nod to the original
but it just gives this watch a little bit of X Factor that the old one did not have and speaking
of the 60 Minute sub-dial at the six o'clock the new one is larger so legibility is going to
be improved the date disc is still at an awkward position hugging the four o'clock industry think
they should have put it in the middle or just got rid of it it looks a little bit weird this one is
black and on the old version it was white they both have the exact same movement the v192 plus
minus 15 seconds a month with a useless 24-hour sub-dial at three o'clock huge huge negative and
they both have the running seconds sub-dial at nine o'clock now this new one does have a chapter
ring instead of a rehaut that goes straight down like the older one let me know which one you
prefer down below and now let's check out the loom another big difference the old one had pathetic
Loom only at the Cardinal indices tiny blobs this one all the applied indices fully loomed but the
old one has an advantage The Sweep arm is loomed this one has no Loom on that red sweeping seconds
it's not a big deal because well the loom on the old one was so tiny it was barely noticeable the
water resistance Remains the Same coming in at 100 meters thanks to that 6.5 millimeter push-pull
Crown same diameter as the old one I believe this one is a little bit thicker and protrudes out from
the case just a hair I couldn't get a measurement though pushers are bigger here 4.8 millimeters the
old one 4.3 so you're gonna get easier actuation it's still a mushy feel because it's a quartz
solar Chrome phonograph non-mechanical not even a mecha courts so don't expect that crispy actuation
now the hands are much improved completely High polished they got a dividing line in the middle
slight taper downwards to give it a little bit of Dimension they're beautiful and the loom to
hand ratio is perfect legibility is much better here if we look at the old one the minute hand
was a little bit too thin plus the hour hand had that weird taper inwards this one is much more
balanced big fan of the updated handset it reminds me more of the original speed timer now the price
it got bigger but the price also got bigger 700 USD retail and we get to check both these out
