For sale or trade is (in my opinion) the ultimate Seiko Diver !

Key features:

SPRING DRIVE - with 72 hour power reserve. Seeing the silky-smooth movement of the seconds hands is absolutely mesmerizing !

GRAND SEIKO-LIKE FINISHING- This watch has the fit and finish of the GS Seiko divers including the polishing detail on the case and details on the face

ALL TITANIUM BUILD - This watch is made of Seiko’s high-end titanium and the surface has an ultra-hard treatment to resist scratching. Also - VERY STRONG wrist presence - this watch is menacing, but it is so comfortable because of the lightweight titanium.

CERAMIC BEZEL - Yes indeed. this is not lacquered steel like on the MM300 or the GS divers. And this ceramic bezel has the finish quality of Rolex ceramic. i tried to capture this below in photos. The bezel also has the same silky-smooth action as a current Submariner.

SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL - Fantastic quality, AR-Coated on the inside.

LUME - WOW - this thing glows like a torch, even when it is not in the dark. This is the strongest lume I have seen (other than a Ball)

BRACELET - CHUNKY MONKEY - The bracelet completes this watch, and gives it an incredible tool look. There are no shiny areas on this bracelet, it is all brushed to a beautiful satin finish.

You can find all the other specs online and some videos as well.

This was originally purchased in December 2019, and comes with a 3-year warranty. Warranty card is stamped but not dated.

This is the full kit with all inner/outer boxes. Comes with all hang-tags and extra links.

Condition - I would call it about 92-95%. The ultra-hard surface treatment is exceptional and there is very little evidence of any wear.

I have tried to capture the detail of this watch, particularly in the case, bezel and crown. it is truly a titanium masterpiece !

The retail price on this is 7800.00 CAD. Current price (Gnomom Watches has this currently for sale a 5680.00 USD, which is just north of 8K CAD)

Sale/Trade value is an aggressive 5,000.00

Trades considered: (+/-/= cash)

I’ve had a few questions about the bezel.

I have had a number of Sub-Cs. The ceramic insert is very close in texture and quality to that of the sub-c. The only thing it doesn’t have is the platinum filling in the numbers and the markers.

I would say the action on the bezel is as smooth as a sub-c, but with a slightly “dampened” feel.

The edge detail of the bezel is very tactile.
