introducing the all-new Seiko Sumo SFK001, SFK003, the first of its kind with an all-new solar GMT
movement the 5K65 with three jewels 9 months of power and if it ever dies 15 hours in sunlight
outside will get it back to full this movement is a flyer GMT means the hour hand jumps which
is fantastic because some people when they go diving they travel oh let's go to the Bahamas
and dive for example I'm in Canada I'm not gonna dive in Lake Ontario gross so if I were
to go diving I would have to travel so having that GMT hand in a grab-and-go reliable tank
is very appealing now how much is this appealing gonna cost you $775 USD for a solar professional
diver remember it's still a Pro specs ISO rated and it does come with a sapphire crystal with
anti-reflective coating on the underside and my favorite an aluminum bezel insert I actually just
filmed the third gen Sumo with the ceramic insert that was one of my negatives because I love the
granular textured look of high quality anodized aluminum anodized aluminum is still pretty scratch
resistant now the Sumo is a modern Seiko dive watch with intricate laser sharp transitions
between brushing and high polish throughout and I love the faceted tips brushed on the
top high polish on the bottom this case has X Factor and it gives you a high impression
of quality and although this watch does wear smaller then its size indicates I still hope
and pray for one day Seiko making a mini version of the Sumo a 40 mil that would be incredible I
would go crazy I would do backflips that's how excited I would be now let's do the measurements
45 millimeters in diameter 13.2 millimeters thick we got drilled lugs and a lug to Lug of 51.8
so just like a sumo wrestler we got a big boy here but it has the Seiko magic it wears fantastic so I
definitely suggest you try it on it's got a ton of presents and the case is just so cool the crown is
a core smearing unsigned seven millimeter screw down Crown giving the Sumo 200 meters of water
resistance the bracelet is the exact same as the first and second gen with the female end links
big fan of that high polish on the flanks of the mid-links it's 20 millimeters tapering down to 18
pins and collars and unfortunately it still has a pressed clasp I wish they put the third gen clasp
on here it's more refined and it's fully milled the watch does have a dive extension as well
the bezel is silent on this one I don't know if my mic will pick it up but let's give it a shot
the bezel feels a little bit different than the third gen I just reviewed it feels softer more
dampened less precise I don't know if that's due to the aluminum I don't think the mechanism is
different so it could just be a difference in manufacturing but overall a great bezel
everything lines up and you know what a seconds hand is actually hitting the marks here maybe a
hair off on some of the hash marks but otherwise pretty good the dial is the solar cell maybe my
eyes are playing tricks on me but the indices do look a little bit smaller than on the mechanical
diver the Sumo style hands are completely High polished we got the date at three o'clock and the
GMT hand is pretty thin the mini hand can cover it completely which I'm not a fan of I think the
GMT end does suit the Sumo style of hands but I wish they made the arrow tip a little bit wider
we got even numbers printed in between the hour markers 1 to 23 and a two-tone chapter ring we
got baby blue on the bottom and dark blue on the top representing the night and day it's pretty
nice but um the date is a little bit harder to read because it is more recessed than the
mechanical so there is a little bit of shadowing on top but if you angle the watch just a bit the
light will hit that date window and you can see it a lot better we got Seiko prospects X divers 200
printed in white and GMT in Orange to match the orange GMT hit very nice now let's check out the
loom is powerful Seiko lumabrite and uh yeah there is a little bit on that GMT hand so when you're uh
when you're swimming across a time zone you'll know what time it is back home for some reason
first the Seiko 5 GMT shook the watch world and now with this solar Sumo we got the larger watches
covered but will we see this new movement in a future Seiko alpinist GMT or a new 38 millimeter
midsize diver I'm a fan of this movement everybody needs one grab-and-go watch and this one is quite
compelling but I want to hear from you down below and if you like this video then I know you're
going to love the two videos on the right of your screen right now and I'll see you in the next one
