I have a bone to pick with you Mad Watch Collector man. A few years ago I had about 4 watches but because of you and your wonderful silly videos I now have 24 watches, of which 16 or so are Casio. Thanks. ;-)
Glad you reviewed this one. As much as I sometimes tire of Seikos endless limited editions, this one is absolutely fantastic in my eyes, which is why I bought one on release last December. The anti reflective coating is the best I've ever experienced highlighting that amazing dial and indices. I love the details like the silver date wheel background. It just feels so special. I highly recommend. I can't keep it off my wrist even after 9 months
Get it mate - you deserve it!! Love that you start the year talking about reducing the collection, then add multiple big pieces along with many more general additions! It’s good to know I’m not alone! 😂
You not alone haha, some how I find my new precious source of used watches and I bought more than 20 this year when in beginning of year I promise to my self that enought, time to go clubbing, drinking and travel and I finish with adding so many watches and zero beers.
I bought this watch last year when it launched but was puzzled that not many people reviewed it, or let alone were aware of it. The anti-reflecting coating on the inside is pristine and the weight, feel and polishing of the titanium is mesmerizing. It is indeed one of the more affordable 8L movements and I think it's a great value purchase. The landmaster series is like an unsung hero within the Seiko lineup. I'm glad to see one of my most-watched watch youtubers (pun intended) review and love this watch. Finally got validation for my purchase, albeit a little delayed.
Love the Landmasters, great pick Russ! If the old ones had automatic movements instead of kinetics I'm sure they would be more highly regarded by collectors today. While you're absolutely right to call out the issues with kinetics, I would add that you can get watch winders that spin fast enough to charge them, meaning that even if they're worn sparsely a quick spin every other week will keep the battery from degrading. Personally I have an SBDW005 that I absolutely love, and I would recommend them to anyone who likes tool watches, especially since many can be bought from Japan for well under £500!
Because of you, when I look at one of my watches on my wrist, and I love it, I scream dial time, in the same tone that you scream it. My wife always looks at me like she's reevaluating her decisions concerning me.
When I’m ever on the edge of deciding whether to buy a watch or not I always hear in my head the “YYYYEEEESSSSSS” and now my bank account is that much less. Thank you MWC. I regret nothing and love every one one of my watches like they are my children. “Life is too short to wear a cheap watch”
Just had my love at first sight when my Hamilton Ventura automatic arrived from Japan. Somehow Seiko manages to make their fairly affordable watches to look much nicer than their grand seiko’s
The dial looks VERY similar to the new Citizen Forza chrono. I too like the looks and size, it's a tool NQAI. I will say that the 12 indice looks like the Tudor logo. Kudos on the choice of 8L movement. The case looks like Citizen Super-Titanium finishing, the bracelet, not so much but still wicked.
Not normally a SEIKO fan yet I do like this! You also mentioned to me in a previous video comments that I should look at Longines as a next step up from my PRX, well I did and now own a 41mm Conquest sunray
I owned this briefly. Have two other SLAs I love, but I didn’t enjoy the friction bezel, the dial looks much more dynamic in pictures than real life (it’s quite a muted blue), and the titanium scratches rather easily. My own favorite dial remains the SLA063 (only 500 made). The 8R movement completely justifies the price in my opinion, especially because you can get good deals on these high end Seikos used.
Great looking seiko, I have the LX land master blacked out version, and it’s really one of my favourites in the collection. Can’t be a high end seiko as long as it’s at the right price.
I have this piece as well, number 3XX, unbelievable finishing , 8L movement , crazy detail dial and indicators, and the glass coating is insanely well. Finally, finally , a TH-camr have good taste of watches
That’s such a great looking watch! I’m not really into titanium or plain metal bezels but this is a proper STUN-AAAHHH! It’s not in my price range unfortunately but it’s hard to argue with looks as good as that! Awesome show as always MWC!
I love Seiko, there are so many JDM models that can be picked up on Japanese websites in Yen. I got a beautiful watch for my birthday, it's solar quartz, titanium, sapphire crystal, about 39mm, and radio controlled. it's total precision and the black dial with all the time zones is so cool to me. check it out the SBTM 291 so clean. I do love titanium for everday wear and while some people hate quartz, there is no better grab and go watch (to me)
Oh great piece that. What's the strap/bracelet like? Feel that's sometimes what let's down the more affordable Seikos. Which is completely understandable
Don't listen to this guy, just listen to the section in his videos which states" what the wife said", she has better taste than him and describes the watch in question within 10 seconds 😂😂
That was funny. The silencer on. I had to chuckle. Congratulations on your new watch. I opted for the SJE099 marinemaster myself because, well, it's smaller. But very similar set of reasons there. That said, the Marinemaster in 38,5mm is made of steel, so it's proportions vs material. That being said, if they start cranking out SLA and SJE based watches with the 6L series movements, they will all get smaller and thinner, as there's a bit of difference between a 3,7mm 6L and a 5,5mm 8L movement.
No capacitors in Kinetic watches any more, they replaced them with rechargable batteries many years ago. As long as you wear it once or twice a month they are fine.
As soon as you said, "Limited to only 1000 pieces across the world" I figured it would be made from Vibranium and only available to the Marvel Superheroes.
Well first off my Seiko sharp edge has the 6r 54 a movement and that my friend does beat at 288 bpm. And as far as Seiko kinetic is concerned I have one of those watches for 16 years now. Never serviced and it's still working to this day. Just pick it up shake it and the hands come right back to life to the right time.
I have the SLA071 too and I love it. I also have the automatic titanium 10th Anniversary Landmaster with its nicely styled and polished Marine Master like case. Only 500 of those were made. 👍👍
🤔 from 100 to 5500! That's what I paid for my Seiko LX Spring Drive GMT in Titanium. Anyhow, as always, great review. You handle one of my favorite channel. Cheers from Italy
[emits long, low whistle] Well, that Seiko *is* mighty impressive, but not entirely my cuppa. However, I DO love that MarineMaster clasp-so much so that I went to the trouble of tracking down a source for that clasp and buying it to replace the original clasp on my SSK003 GMT. Takes the already-damn-good wearing experience of the watch up that extra notch, and, speaking of notches, the diver's extension *does* come in handy for the hotter months (like right now), when my wrist expands in girth: quick bracelet expansion on-the-fly, without dealing with extra buttons. One of the coolest Seiko innovations next to no one talks about. (Oh, my advice on you buying the Landmaster? Use the silencer.)
I have a kinetic sun045 gmt Seiko diver that i bought in 2016. I only wear it maybe once every three months and it still works great. I think the later Seiko kinetics like this one don't have a capacitor but a rechargeable battery in it...
Very interesting review. I’m not a titanium fan at all but would definitely like to check one out . Just last week I added the SLA047 MM300 . I’d have to say that to me the MM300 is the very best watch Seiko makes . This however is an amazing 🤩 Seiko watch 👍🏻💯
Funny thing is that you never know when you fall in love with watch you never wants, I just bought first gen sumo in nos condition and I have more than 30 Seiko divers starting with 70' turtles througt all skx and many mm200 to mm300 and today I think I bought best looking in my opinion watch from all I have, and I never wants it coz people complain about it, movement, glass etc and new models are just new and nothing special. O boy this first Sumo is spectacular and I wish I bought it sooner.
Great looking watch. Well made, but I would prefer a minute timer. Seiko has make great titanium watches for a long time. The ti samurai, or early Shogun are outstanding watches. Seiko does titanium!!!! Sarx057, GS at seiko price. The 8l35 is a great movement. Worth the extra cash. Love the wife's comments😂. But......the best Seiko your ever reviewed is...... The sla055❤
“I bought a lab coat on a whim two years ago…”😆. The watch is phenomenal. But there are several watches I would purchase for the same money. Of course my collection is not as extensive as yours…yet. Thanks for the great review and mini history lesson!
A true stunner and goes some way to justifying the price increases on Seiko's. Although it looks like a character called "Brains" from Transformers is missing an eyeball.
if the hour markers are rectangular like this, the date window should match the hour markers, not the dial not an iso divers watch also means Seiko dont need to squeez an extra block of lume beside the date window (they should consider dropping the iso stander even on their divers watch. we trust seiko, and most of us dont wear theme to dive anyway) good job Seiko
Great review as usual. The dominance of the bezel kills it for me though. Have you looked at the Seiko Prospex Solar Blue Diver Watch SNE593P1 ? Now that's a gorgeous watch. :)
Hey buddy! Just bought the New Speedtimer pogue Tribute and i would Love if you did a review of it! Since well i got a feeling you really like Pogues and you own one! so make a nice and well selected Compear! Would love it! :D keep on the Good and fun work!
Wow. Even in titanium this is an absolute stunner. One question, is a friction bezel less robust than a click bezel? I mean is there more of a chance of it... well... popping off?! I realise this may be a stupid question.
Dude, I bought the Seiko LX SNR029 last year. Most money I ever spent (or likely will spend) on a watch. Its my grail. If I ever meet you and you're wearing that 8L Landmaster, I'll have to give you a high five. Left handed. Watch hand to watch hand. In my humble JDM/Seiko fanboy opinion these dunk on Rolex.
Nice watch, but Citizen made a lot of titanium watches with the same or better level of finishing. The dial is amazing indeed, but you need to see and handle Citizen NB1060-12L with a handmade Lacquer dial in blue. Amazing review for an amazing watch nonetheless.
Great looking watch matey , but remember to show another video when you are shouting Click It! ( no pop up for another video) was evident , you are still the top dog my friend!
There's something magical about Seiko's watches isn't it? They are sometime weird and quirky, with their fair share of flaws and compromise. And many of their design is definitely not for everyone. But when you find the one that hit all the right spot for you, despite all its flaws and weirdness, and many hate it, you love it more than anything. I feel the same way towards the SLA055
Small niggle with you. My MM300 has Zaratsu and the same movement. Basically this watch is at the level of the MM300, but sold as an explorer versus a diver.
In the terms of blue dial nothing and I mean nothing beats Vacheron overseas and Sarb 009,to this day I still regret of not buying the Sarb 009 for 2500€.
This watch is amazing. That said, serious question, are you a fan of 'The Fast Show'? Cause there's a character on the show that has your exact energy and I'm curious if that might've been an inspiration for you.
I have a bone to pick with you Mad Watch Collector man. A few years ago I had about 4 watches but because of you and your wonderful silly videos I now have 24 watches, of which 16 or so are Casio. Thanks. ;-)
Keep going till you have 31 so you don't have to be a commoner who doesn't wear a different watch everyday.
Me too!!!
me too, it's torture, i am now addicted to buying cool Casio and seiko watches - thnks MWC ! grrr 😊
The watch bug is real.
So you are easily influenced and you are prone to addiction?
One hell of a Seiko! Shame not enough people buy a more expensive Seiko. This is on my radar Russ!
Kees!!! It’s a phenomenal watch!!!!
What is the price from this Seiko?
Glad you reviewed this one. As much as I sometimes tire of Seikos endless limited editions, this one is absolutely fantastic in my eyes, which is why I bought one on release last December.

jeez, whenever I see something good, I forget I'm out in the real world and go 'schuper!" a little louder than I should...
When I’m ever on the edge of deciding whether to buy a watch or not I always hear in my head the “YYYYEEEESSSSSS” and now my bank account is that much less.
Thank you MWC. I regret nothing and love every one one of my watches like they are my children.
“Life is too short to wear a cheap watch”
Top man! All the best to you my friend!
Grand Seiko level ! The blue dial is 🤯. I didn’t know about the silenced trigger. Might be useful…
Just had my love at first sight when my Hamilton Ventura automatic arrived from Japan. Somehow Seiko manages to make their fairly affordable watches to look much nicer than their grand seiko’s
The dial looks VERY similar to the new Citizen Forza chrono. I too like the looks and size, it's a tool NQAI. I will say that the 12 indice looks like the Tudor logo. Kudos on the choice of 8L movement. The case looks like Citizen Super-Titanium finishing, the bracelet, not so much but still wicked.
Thought of Forza straight away as well 🎯
“ the trigger may have to be pulled with the silencer on” Russ, I fell out of the chair with that one. 😂
Hahahahahaha
After watching your videos , i bought 2 seiko models, landmaster titanium and mont blanc. i guess i gona get even more nowadays.. goodness grace
Not normally a SEIKO fan yet I do like this! You also mentioned to me in a previous video comments that I should look at Longines as a next step up from my PRX, well I did and now own a 41mm Conquest sunray
🌊 SEIKO 💪
You enabler Russ. My mm 300 doesn't like me looking at other 8L watches.
Hahahahahahaha he doesn’t need to know Dr B!!!!!
I was getting hypnotised by the beauty of that dial through my TV screen
Today i got Myself Nr 140/1000 and i Love it. Thanks for this Video it made my decision for buying it easy.
I owned this briefly. Have two other SLAs I love, but I didn’t enjoy the friction bezel, the dial looks much more dynamic in pictures than real life (it’s quite a muted blue), and the titanium scratches rather easily. My own favorite dial remains the SLA063 (only 500 made). The 8R movement completely justifies the price in my opinion, especially because you can get good deals on these high end Seikos used.
Great looking seiko, I have the LX land master blacked out version, and it’s really one of my favourites in the collection. Can’t be a high end seiko as long as it’s at the right price.
I have this piece as well, number 3XX, unbelievable finishing , 8L movement , crazy detail dial and indicators, and the glass coating is insanely well.
Finally, finally , a TH-camr have good taste of watches
That’s such a great looking watch! I’m not really into titanium or plain metal bezels but this is a proper STUN-AAAHHH! It’s not in my price range unfortunately but it’s hard to argue with looks as good as that!
Awesome show as always MWC!
Thanks Gareth! Can you believe it!!! A titanium watch I like!!;)

We should all listen to our wife’s regarding watches, we would have more money in the bank if we did 😂
That was funny. The silencer on. I had to chuckle. Congratulations on your new watch. I opted for the SJE099 marinemaster myself because, well, it's smaller. But very similar set of reasons there. That said, the Marinemaster in 38,5mm is made of steel, so it's proportions vs material.

I have a vintage Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay Date Titanium 5J22-0B89 IT STILL WORKS 😁!!! This one is a BEAUTY!!!!
I saw this one in person at my nearest AD. It’s fantastic! If I hadn’t bought a Tudor BB58 and a Doxa Sub 300 this year I would be all over it!
I feel bad for your Willard that you loving that Landmaster so much, when he is in his case waiting for your love again.
No capacitors in Kinetic watches any more, they replaced them with rechargable batteries many years ago. As long as you wear it once or twice a month they are fine.
2 minutes in, and that bezel is HUGE. Your wife is gonna have a field day!
A lot of metal
Great review Mister Mad,, I enjoyed every second of it - solid watch Titanium! Seiko
Bought it at the same time. I cant get enough of this dial. A pleasure to wear, definitely my new favorite
Great review as ever and a lovely looking watch. Looks like there could be some future collaboration with Tudor from the 12 O’clock marker?
This watch is an absolute beauty just waiting to be bought & worn Thanks for showcasing this beauty just as you do always
Beautiful looking watch, very grand seiko level. especially the polishing and the clasp ratchet micro extension.
It's a gorgeous watch and I think it's fairly priced for what you get. I'm hoping one comes into my local store so I can check it out
i truly appreciate you stating dial diameter cos not many does it. at 28.5 dial dia, it will wear like a 40. great vid!
" a transformer eyeball"...hahahaha! i totally see that as well now
It's a nice watch. It reminds me of a mix of Seiko and Breitling.
As soon as you said, "Limited to only 1000 pieces across the world" I figured it would be made from Vibranium and only available to the Marvel Superheroes.
I think it is y’know!!!
I offered this watch to my father some months ago, the dial is just phenomenal, hypnotize me every time I look at it
If that had a gmt with world cities on the bezel, it’d be perfect!
Well first off my Seiko sharp edge has the 6r 54 a movement and that my friend does beat at 288 bpm. And as far as Seiko kinetic is concerned I have one of those watches for 16 years now.

Nope, the '54 beats at 3 Hz.
Now that was an entertaining review! Well done 👌 Lovely watch! 🙏🙏
Thank you!!!
Great vid. I picked up a King Turtle PADI today on a trade up. Now I want this! We all need help!
I have the SLA071 too and I love it. I also have the automatic titanium 10th Anniversary Landmaster with its nicely styled and polished Marine Master like case. Only 500 of those were made. 👍👍

Awesome my friend! Wonder why these movements have been discontinued?
Totally with you on the lume pip! And it is a beauty.
Easily one of the best offerings from Seiko I've ever seen - moreover, it beats the Hamilton Explorer hands down! Great video, thanks for posting!
Really would like if Seiko left out the Prospex X on some models. Just tired of it but I do agree the Land mechanical GMT was a homerun

Fantastic vid Russ - love the watch and your perspective. You bring out the heritage cool factor (some others miss), you miiiight just win me over ;)
Thank you my friend! Yeah I’m all about the meanings behind the watches !!! Not just a money grabbing exercise!
Stunning watch and dial,the titanium build a winner,i wanted one till i looked at the price out of my league.
"With the silencer on!" LOL, unfortunately that's so true!!🤣
the trigger may have to be pulled with the silencer on!
HAHAHAHAHA
I love you man!
“I bought a lab coat on a whim two years ago…”😆. The watch is phenomenal. But there are several watches I would purchase for the same money. Of course my collection is not as extensive as yours…yet. Thanks for the great review and mini history lesson!
Hahaha!!!
Wow what a beauty! I hate friction bezels though. Not a bad price for an 8L movement
A true stunner and goes some way to justifying the price increases on Seiko's.
Although it looks like a character called "Brains" from Transformers is missing an eyeball.
Finally introduce this review. This watch was released last year Nov.
After all entertainment and knowledge you shared, you deserve that watch more then anyone. Screw on the silencer and gooo....😊
if the hour markers are rectangular like this, the date window should match the hour markers, not the dial
not an iso divers watch also means Seiko dont need to squeez an extra block of lume beside the date window
(they should consider dropping the iso stander even on their divers watch. we trust seiko, and most of us dont wear theme to dive anyway)
good job Seiko
Man that's nice. The blue is amazing
Great review as usual. The dominance of the bezel kills it for me though.
Have you looked at the Seiko Prospex Solar Blue Diver Watch SNE593P1 ? Now that's a gorgeous watch. :)
Hey buddy! Just bought the New Speedtimer pogue Tribute and i would Love if you did a review of it! Since well i got a feeling you really like Pogues and you own one! so make a nice and well selected Compear! Would love it! :D keep on the Good and fun work!
Channel is really growing on me, keep up the good work!
I just love SLAs. The 043 is now my daily wear.
Nice watch. Wish it had a divers ceramic bezel though. I'm a divers fanatic
Just looking at it on the seiko site , apparently limited edition 1000 units made .
It is a cool looking watch.
Wow. Even in titanium this is an absolute stunner.
One question, is a friction bezel less robust than a click bezel? I mean is there more of a chance of it... well... popping off?!
I realise this may be a stupid question.
I’m not sure about Seiko friction bezels but I know that Vostok uses them and they come off easily.
That is a very nice watch but I would go for the old kinetic version. As long as you are active and wear it once a week it will stay fully charged.
I love it, just not keen on the compass bezel, but maybe I could grow to like it. It is a beautiful piece. Love that it is titanium 👍
Beautiful dial but your wife was correct. That Seiko is indeed “more than meets the eye”
Nice!
My Seiko watch I got in 1970 for my birthday aged 10
Old bugger
Dude, I bought the Seiko LX SNR029 last year. Most money I ever spent (or likely will spend) on a watch. Its my grail. If I ever meet you and you're wearing that 8L Landmaster, I'll have to give you a high five. Left handed. Watch hand to watch hand. In my humble JDM/Seiko fanboy opinion these dunk on Rolex.
It is fantastic. You said and it does look more like a stainless than a titanium. Is it because of lighting or did SEIKO treat it(?)
Wow, that's a beautiful watch, that dial is so "Grand Seiko".
Its nice russ , but I love my sla043 more . The blue dial on the 043 is as good as it gets. Of course you needed over 4k to get one new.
That is one awesome watch. The altitude blue is perfect.
Nice watch, but Citizen made a lot of titanium watches with the same or better level of finishing.
The dial is amazing indeed, but you need to see and handle Citizen NB1060-12L with a handmade Lacquer dial in blue.
Amazing review for an amazing watch nonetheless.
Great looking watch matey , but remember to show another video when you are shouting Click It! ( no pop up for another video) was evident , you are still the top dog my friend!
Cheers Mal!!!! Great to hear from you! How’s the band?
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR All good my friend , also fronting a Bowie tribute band as well as The Kix!
Beautiful watch but I’m not sure I could justify the £2k+ price tag.
There's something magical about Seiko's watches isn't it? They are sometime weird and quirky, with their fair share of flaws and compromise. And many of their design is definitely not for everyone.
But when you find the one that hit all the right spot for you, despite all its flaws and weirdness, and many hate it, you love it more than anything. I feel the same way towards the SLA055
😂 … love that “Click It!” variant at the end!! 😅
That dial is sharp, nicely done.
Any thought to not using purple lights that reflect in the watches finish? Good videos.
Nope! I love it!!
Some Of the Seiko Selection series (SBTM337,339 etc) have Sapphire, Super Clear Coating. Quartz tho but a nice, cheap dress watch.
You HAVE to get your hands on a Shogun. Its phenomenal.
Woh that's a lot of bezel, watch out for door handles when you get it Russ.
Small niggle with you. My MM300 has Zaratsu and the same movement. Basically this watch is at the level of the MM300, but sold as an explorer versus a diver.
It’s not ISO certified
you are absolutly right with this watch.. i have to say iam official jealous..
In the terms of blue dial nothing and I mean nothing beats Vacheron overseas and Sarb 009,to this day I still regret of not buying the Sarb 009 for 2500€.
When you went macro on the dial I couldn't take my eyes of the 12 o'clock knickers..
Hahahahahaha more like a shield! Go to Citizen for pants my friend hahahahaha
Does not tickle my pickle at all, currently fancy the new Pogue speedy.
Don’t be swayed by a lazy homage!!!!! Seiko can do better with a proper Pogue reissue!
I can't believe that dial. After watching your video I've seen it online for £2160 new. I've been hovering over checkout since. Damn you TMWC!!
Oh matey!!!! Listen it’s a Seiko that will hold its value! I meant everything on the show. The watch will be mine. It’s even better up close!;)
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR
STOP IT 😅
This watch is amazing. That said, serious question, are you a fan of 'The Fast Show'? Cause there's a character on the show that has your exact energy and I'm curious if that might've been an inspiration for you.
It reminds me a bit of a king samurai blue ocean dial… what you think about it? Is it really that good in person?
