This is DEFINITELY a watch to be happy with here John !
First of
all it's a Seiko, so that's enough to make you smile right there.Then like you
said it's a watch that effortlessly combines a diver's stylewith a pilot's style
which makes it double the FUN ! On top of that, this watch does it in a
TREMENDOUSLY classy, as well as SMOOTH way. Don't think it can really
get any NICER than when you have that DEEP flat
black dial at the center of everything, setting off, along with showing off the crisp white markings
and numbers.
It's one of the, if not THE most CLASSIC of looks imho,
and it just works SO well here !!! ..Staying with the dial for a second. I REALLY
think the the look, and maybe even texture of the dial is TERRIFIC sir. Seems
to be a stealthy flat
black, but it catches the light too. Giving an almost slightly textured near sand-like texture theme. THAT is EXCEPTIONAL ! ..So is the way
in which those aviation or pilot style numbers FLY off the dial. Not only do the
12, 3, 6, and 9 have the pilots look down flawlessly. They also blend in and
contrast in a VERY unique way with the dive theme you also mentioned. Also
enjoying how the numbers seem to raised up off of the dial surface too. The
same goes for the markers, and markings which look so cool as well, and are
just about seem ready to take off also !
..Another neat detail about the
watch is how those markings have a way of moving from the dial, to the
EXCELLENT chapter ring, and bezel in one fluid motion. Makes for one VERY
NICE optical effect, but is also just fun to see too. By the way, I think that
chapter ring helps make the dial look even better , and feel much deeper as well.
Again, some NEAT stuff there ! ..Even the extremely LARGE and VIBRANT hands
are phenomenal John. They have that aviation style down just right, AND they
burst right through the
dial in an explosion of SHARP bright white. Also thinking
that second hand is just TOO GOOD as well with it's shapes, and fins there mixing
the diver, and pilot theme together once again.
..Have to add that the bezel
is AMAZINGLY eye-popping also with it's bright numbers, and markings. Even the
way the chunks on the side of the bezel are separated, is up into the stratosphere
John ! While the shape, build, and TOUGHNESS of that case let's you know this watch
can stand just about anything on land, see, or air for that matter. This Seiko seems to
have the ability to be sporty, and smooth, all while giving you the signature Seiko quality.
Even the look and angle of the crown is off the charts imho, and how about THESE
case-backs John ?! ..Yowza ! That's BEAUTIFUL as well !!! ..One more thing also,
the strap looks not only GREAT, but also indestructible ! ..This watch and
lume is
SUPER,
but then again it's a Seiko !!!
Congratulations on getting another one, and I hope
you ENJOY ! ..P.S. Thanks for the info about the movement inside this one too John !
Spectacular watch along with photos !
