Check out the 62MAS Re-Make Video Right here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKepeqiHmrmsiKs.html

I'm definitely loving the looks of it, and I hope Seiko continues to make use of the 6L movement in various watches. Seiko going thinner is absolutely something I would like to see.

I actually prefer the unsigned crown.

Well executed. Much more affordable than a Rolex Submariner w/date ($10,250). Buy the Seiko, and take a 2-week trip to Mexico, and still have money leftover!

Thanks for making this video and sharing your points of view on this new Seiko diver. It’s no doubt a great looking Seiko diver, but it makes me appreciate my SPB299 Marinemaster 200m Glacier dial and SPB149, the 62MAS LE reissue much more! Luckily, both of mine are running within COSC specs.

Beautiful! Wearable dimensions, an elegant dial and the crown at 3! The unfinished indices are somewhat disappointing but all in all I love it!!

This is a great looking watch. Very modern with so many Seiko call backs. It's a great modern Seiko. I agree very Seiko evolved. I'm a watch enthusiast and I don't mind date windows, if well implemented. Like if it's at 6 o'clock most of the time I think it looks fine. This one is subtle enough it's not distracting and feels like a bonus feature.

I like it… the 3 things I do not like: 1. the greenish lume 2. the price 3. the clasp Christmas greetings from germany

That thickness is to die for! 😱

I was a bit apprehensive about this at first, but damn they're stunning in the flesh! I'm sold!

39.5mm. Perfection👌

Always enjoy your reviews! Way to go seiko for bringing it back, loveee the new look!

Wao!! Great review 👍 keep up the good work and merry Xmas

I love it. Wish I could afford it.

Yes!!! They put the name!!

Excellent watch! i just wish they kept the marin master indices and made that date window more prominent. would still buy one though

Thanks for the Christmas gift FT! The watch looks great... It's going to be a hit!

Great review. Not for me, I prefer the 62MAS 😂

I love the 4:30 date window!! I need all indexes and the symmetry!

Very nice.

So they have named something "Marinemaster " that isn't actually a Marinemaster. Well done Seiko.

Nice to see a Marinemaster back. Good looking watch. Cons out weigh the Pros especially at the price point. Good review. Thanks.

Beautiful watch which looks like it will be great for everyday wear. I believe it also has the Seiko super hard coating. A lot of competition at that price though.

Excellent video, absolutely excellent. Thank you.

I was under the impression that Marinemasters only came in the form of the MM300/600 or Tuna 300/600/1000m. This 62MAS-inspired Marinemaster honestly looks out of place and kinda like an imposter 😂

Great review as always

Love the look of this one!

Eu amei, muito lindo e barato.

Love your work promoting Seiko mate!

Always enjoy your reviews. Can't wait to see Seiko's 2024 line up. Merry Christmas!

I love my 62mas mocachino on the brown rubber strap.

So what will the community end up calling this watch? 1.) 62MM 2.) MM200 3.) 62Evo 4.) 62Master ? I think we might have to strip the title from the spb mm200's as maybe it shouldn't have never been called that. The first Seiko MarineMaster was a 100M quartz watch. Now we got a 200M and of course the MM300 everyone knows. The Tunas are the 1000m MM's as well.

Fun fact: Spb 185 and Citizen nb 1050 are the only medium price watches in the world with Zaratsu polishing.Citizen cost 550€ with brushing and polishing worth of 5k watch.

Thanks for taking a look at this one, as I've been waiting to see a good hands on review. I think the dial is cool, and the hands are gorgeous. It's a shame Seiko still can't use applied markers at this price, but I'm also not going to be lookin at it on a macro level. It's not a deal breaker. It's frustrating that Seiko can't spend a few Yen on signing the crown on a Seiko LX model. I would love to get into a discussion with the person or people that made the decision to really only do that on their Presage models. I personally think anything above Seiko Essentials should have one. I think the bezel looks great, but I'd prefer if those edges were brushed. I'm sure it would help the grip a bit too, but it does look great and a bit more high end with the choice they made. I do actually appreciate the display case back, but it's really just Seiko bending to modern tastes. A smart brand doesn't ignore what customers want though, and that goes for the date as well. While I get the watch fan's desire for a no date model for ease of setting, I actually still appreciate the date. I think I use it more than I think, because when I wear one of my watches without a date, I inevitably get annoyed when I have to dig my phone out of my pocket to look up the date. My now aging eyes (you'll get there eventually haha) would probably struggle with a date that small though. I recall when Monta added a no date option to the Ocean King line. I asked them later about the sales break down, and I recall the no date was only about 30% of sales. I think the no date crowd is just a vocal minority. I really don't care for the way the end link contrasts so much with the case. I wish they would have gone another route in the design, but I also can't say I have a suggestion on how to fix it. I'd just send them back to the drawing board. The links themselves look fantastic though. Only 2 micro adjusts is a bit frustrating, but I guess they're trying to balance elegance with functionality in this level of watch. I think even just a 3rd slot would be a huge win. I have some watches with 5 micro adjust slots and I just don't use them all, plus it makes for a bulkier clasp. Seiko really just needs to engineer their own quick adjust clasp. Overall, I think this is a nice release though. I might end up putting it on a nice rubber strap if I pick one up. The fact that these are not limited (unlike the SJE093) is exciting news.

I need this watch in my life !

Pity they didn’t ditch the pro-spec logo from the dial and have it etched into the crown instead.

I like it more without the Name on the dail. Probably when they put it on the bottom half, it would look better.

awesome marinemaster 200

I actually like them a lot even tho I won’t buy it for myself. I simply see no reason to replace my spb143 but for a marinemaster 300 (big one). But it’s really good for them to have a modern skindiver in their premium segment which they where lacking.

Thank you for the nice video and nice telling. Is there a dust particle on the 8 marker or am I wronning ?

wow wow this watch is great

INSANE price tag

I bought this watch like a week ago. i was checking totally diffrent watches and the seller showed me this and oh boys i like it! + The fit is super nice! most comfortable watch that i ever tested! + really good looking braclet Most commented things - Signed or unsigned crown? Honestly i don't care. - Open caseback, i love it! - Date window? really nice atleast for me. I don't so often look the date, but when i need it, it's there! kind of hiding, but still being able to read it clearly. - 200m water resistant? well ofcourse would be nice to have 300M, but honestly how many people really dive with these watches? Only real downside was for me that when light is coming certain side angle, dial looses all contrast and it's hard to read. everything else i like it! -Bezel first sight i was in love! But know been watching also classical 10-20-30-40-50 bezels, but for this 15-30-45 is super good. would be nice to see this colors and specs,with SPB299 style indicates and bezel. Great review!

You are absolutely correct. It should say what it is on the dial for all of their watches.Also the crown should be signed.

I think Seiko should have made it a no date to keep the dial's symmetry.

Great video! Can you tell me what watch (blue dial) you wear in the start of the video? Cheers.

Looks-wise, it's not for me, but that's subjective. What isn't though is how poorly those end links integrate with the lugs. This bracelet was specifically made for the watch, why doesn't it fit? What were they thinking?

I love this watch 😍nice review

This watch would look so much better with more simple dials

2.900us$ ?? ?? ??? ??? ?/ Seriously ? ? ? ? Is it made out of gold?

Pros: Good thickness and size Lovely case finishing 6L37 Movement Aligns??? Cheaper than the 62MAS Cons: Bracelet doesn't match the case Clasp is trash Bezel is ugly Unsigned crown (WTF Seiko?)

That pressed divers extension is a crime against Horology

I❤❤it

WISH...... Seiko can use "tapered" metal bracelets similar to many swiss brands .... will look awesome!!

Does anyone know if this bracelet is compatible with spb143?

Not a fan of the overly-aggressive bezel edge. The rest of it is pretty fantastic. This new movement has me excited for the future of Seiko divers

Nice watch

This looks fantastic and I love the dimensions. However, pressed indices, pathetic bracelet and $2800.00 price tag make this an instant no. Seiko marketing must be based on "there's a sucker born every minute."

Referring to the bracelet links... You referred to them as "eclipse-shaped". I think you meant to say "ellipse-shaped"

Excellent review as usual! Like Rolex, Seiko seems to be moving aways from a tool look to a jewelry look. I prefer an aluminum bezel and a non-textured dial. I also do not care for the 15-30-45 bezel. I've always preferred the Seiko fully graduated 10-20-30-40-50 bezel. This is something different, so I'm sure these will sell - Seiko knows what they re doing.

$20 clasp on a $3,000 watch 😂

No signed crown : (

They ABSOLUTELY bit off the Ginault silent service.

A porthole date window and it's at 430? That's a huge 1,2 punch from Seiko and not in a good way.

I liked those big knucle-busting MarineMasters, either quatrz or self winding, but they SAID MareineMaster on them above the 6.!!!! Now available used only. Why does not Seiko bring those back? The black dial Seiko Turtle I have on my wrist cost $295 on a rubber strap in Dec. 2016. Had a new movememt put in June, 2023 for Total of $175. Runs great, looks great. Got to losing 10 min in 3 days. The 4R36 is still very available, so I had a new one put in. Cheap. He could not regulate the one that was acting up. Now the Turtle s around $350, so for half the price I had my mint Turtle get a new movement.

0:47 Wow which watch is that?

At that price i expect a quality clasp and better finishing. Those indicies are rough!

Too expensive is what I call it. Seiko needs to show it has confidence in it's movements, you can't charge that money and give basic selitta guarantees and if there is dust on the dial at that price then send it back.

I think the face striations look like an Aqua Terra , not the Seamaster.

When will Seiko realize they don’t need to put the Prospex X on the dial…

Sorry, the date at 4:30 is a complete turn off to me.

Why are them indices so rough on the edges of such a beautiful watch???

Excellent release overall!!! I would prefer a sunburst dial. The bezel edge reminds me of the Aquis. Nice looking bracelet, but the clasp is disappointing. Is the bezel insert ceramic or treated steel?

That’s a good size.. nice review.

Gorgeous

No signed crown I no buy!

When getting into Tudor and Omega money, I would rather own either of these two brands. Seiko trying to move up and join the big boys but without the chops. Nice $1200 and not worth $2800 watch but the 4:30 little peek-a-boo date window kills the aesthetic. Would rather have the SPB143 for the money and spend 3 grand for a watch with more cache than a Seiko.

I've been on the lookout for content like this! Ready to believe in myself and shape my life's path! - "Believe in your abilities; they shape your future.."

put them on a Divecore HP strap and ouuuu

It still carries the Prospex logo. Why Seiko, why!?

I'm a huge Seiko fan, but I strongly dislike this release. The world did not need a 62 Marine MASter. It looks like a half hearted Seiko mod.

It looks beautiful. However, I won't be spending that kind of money on a watch only to have to purchase an aftermarket bracelet to get a proper fit. Wtf with only 2 microadjusts?! C'mon Seiko, enough is enough!

I don’t care they changed the original case it looks beautiful

What material is the bezel made of?

Hey, is the bazel ceramic or not? 😢

But.... it's a SEIKO! :)))

Is it a Marinemaster or a Prospex? For the sake of dial real estate it should not be both!

Thanks seiko i hate the date window still 🤡

$2800 and hour markers poorly finished? No monocoque back? So-so lume? Not a good buy. Sounds like a watch that would be a good purchase in the $1500 price tier.

Thanks for the excellent review. I love so many Seiko models and to my relief, this is not one of them. The overall look doesn't win my heart.

So its still a 40mm watch?!

p.s. Slapping “Marine Master” on dial sullies the TRUE Marinemaster- kinda like the all electric “Mustang.”

Hate the date placement.

The X on the dial is a shame.

When did signed crowns become essential!? I’m super confused when it’s claimed to be an obvious negative

I’ve really got a huge block on these watches. I adore Seiko divers and own five of them so this should be right up my alley but …. I think it’s a disaster for the money and a really incoherent design. The design of the hands is the bright spot for me. I appreciate all your videos FT, and I know you give your honest opinions rather than try and sell every watch to us, but this a rare instance where I respectfully disagree with your take.

why do crowns need to be signed?

I've experienced a similar bracelet and the exact same clasp on seikos enough to make them a deal breaker, especially at 2800$, astronomical with such a poor quality bracelet

I'm all for naming the watches instead of just giving them impossible-to-remember model numbers.

I've been a life-long fan and collector of Seiko divers. I still own many of them. My current daily driver for the last 3yrs is the Prospex Kinetic GMT (SUN019P), AKA 'Kinetic Tuna', and I absolutely love it. However, it continues to blow my mind how often Seiko drops the ball. Even at this price point they don't equip their SS bracelets with proper clasps and ratcheting dive extensions. You have to get the MM 300 for that I believe. Meanwhile Citizen's Promaster Aqualand series do, at a much lower price and are some of the best ratcheting clasps in the industry. For a real diver like myself who lives on an island and dives most of the year this mistake is not easy to forgive. That's why when I'm in the water I wear my titanium Citizen Promaster Aquamount as my backup and my Seiko stays at home.
