- Sometimes looking backwards pays. Everyone is over the watch from last month already that got me thinking... what about quality watches released 2 years ago!? They have been completely forgotten about but I bet there are some real gems. And I was right.
This Heimdallr Dive watch is an homage to the Seiko 6309 dive watch form the 1976 to 1980 era. It has been over-shadowed by the Seiko Willard and the Seiko 62MAS but it is still a beautiful case design.
Good quality Dive watch homages are pretty hard to find...I mean real quality versions. I rate this one highly.
This is my first champagne dial watch and it is also my first Heimdallr watch...you can bet it won't be my last Heimdallr watch!
This dive watch has all the attributes you could want. Stunning case, champagne dial, 300m water resistance, strong 120click bezel and a logo to die for!
Check out the review and see if you agree with my opinion.
I think the Heimdallr HMSC11 is one of the best budget dive watches you can buy...and wit till you see the price :)

beautiful watch! what a great value with that price level
It really is!
Excellent review. Back in 2020 I bought the San Martin, the Steeldive and the Heimdallar versions of the Seiko 6105. The 3 of them were/are fantastic watches, specially if one shops during a sale. After a few months I kept only the Heimdallr and it is today my daily beater. Reasons: the finishing, perfect alignment, price and the shark logo!
Nice one ;)
Definitely a cool homage of a classic Seiko! I kinda dig that champagne dial as well! Great review as always, John!
Thanks for watching!Thanks Dan. It took me by surprise! :)
I would never have thought such a big watch attract me so much!
Great review! Thanks for sharing, John.
You and me both! :)
I have a Heimdallr Captain Willard homage. I LOVE it.
Thanks for the review 👍. There just a few things that put me off it, short hands and lint magnet straps, but the quality and finish look great. If they did a grenade dial, I could be tempted.
Great review! Heimdallr makes some great watches & this one looks stunning.
Ah yes, here it is! 😉 Another great review and a cool watch! Very attractive dial. I believe that bezel insert is probably ceramic. Seiko is famous for their big watch case design with short lug to lug to suit slimmer wrists.
Thanks for watching!
I own this and bought this when I first saw it on Aliexpress. I knew I had to have it because there was no champagne dial watches. It is one of my favorites that came with a very comfortable rubber strap. I used to wear a color matched Nato with it but it didn't always fit very well. I might switch it out later if I want some variety. The lume is great. Has drilled lugs. The bezel has some playback and I wish that the crown was signed. The bezel has a nice, satisfying click when turned. I love the bezel side texture which makes gripping easy. The bezel insert is ceramic. I used this watch when I went kayaking. I was in the river and it performed well. I'm not sure why more people review this watch. It seems to be under the radar but a very good watch.
Thanks George. Glad you also like it 😊
I’ve not had one from them either. The quality looks good
Hugely surprised. Awesome watch!
Crazy that is so good on the smaller wrist keeping in mind the bogger size.
It wears perfectly on me :)
Too chunky for me, but wow, that is an attractive piece. I agree, the Heimdallr shark is probably one of the better logos to have come out of AliExpress.
Oh, and thank you for the descriptive thumbnail.
Haha thanx
Bought this during the recent sale after seeing your initial unboxing and for the price it cannot be beaten. Owned and got rid of addiesdive. This in my opinion is much higher quality and as a bit of a bonus mine on the wrist is running almost perfectly at around +1sec day. Absolutely blown away by this one. I own a few San Martin, Cronos, Sugess and think value for money wise this beats them all. Had a spare silver grey nato from an old Seiko and it looks stunning on this watch. Keep up the great reviews 👏
Nice one Paul. Glad you are on board with it. Seems to divide opinion being a Champagne Dial !
That's nice , ooh so nice , i love it .
I'm glad you like it
Stunning!
Thank you! Cheers!
That dial is sumptuous but the divers strap is a bit of a lint monster. It’s gorilla sized too and great lume. Don’t own a heimdallr, will have to watch for it in the sales
It is a stunner and now in my top 5 budget dive style watches from Ali. :)
That’s a nice looking watch. I already have a Willard Homage, but I want to get a Heimdallr Monster so I’m glad the finishing is up to snuff. Thanks for the great review as always.
Thanks Albert. This one seems to be dividing opinion. I knew it would as I thought the combination was unusual. Didn't think it would be for me but it is just so good. One of the older hidden gems on Ali.
@@johnswatchjoint It’s the champagne dial. It’s one of those love it or leave it situations. If we all liked the exact same watch, this would be a boring ass hobby.
Great looking watch at a fantastic price. Thank you for another great review
I like champagne as a dial colour and I like 6105 homages. But I'm not quite sure whether they belong together! 😬
Neither was I. That's why I had to see it for myself. Weird combination in pics but if I am honest, this is one of my favourite watches from AliExpress! Never say never :)
Great watch, but I don't like the font they used for the printing on the dial. That's a personal preference thing, however.
She’s a beauty! On my list for sure! Cheers John!
Thanks Jez. Got this not knowing what to expect. It is a very nice watch and why it's not often talked about is strange.
Great review 👍. When I bought the black dial version, the bezel was described as ceramic. The champagne dial does look great.
Good to know. My Diamond Selector ll is toast. Thought it needed batteries but it is a "deceased diamond selector" 😆
@@johnswatchjoint That's a shame, I hope they aren't expensive.
No they are very cheap and it's good timing I suppose with me taking the second part of my hols. Have ordered another one :)
A Diamond Selector II would help you tell if the insert is ceramic or Sapphire, most likely Ceramic.
Great honest review.
Usually would Jon but mine is now in Heaven haha! Another on the way :)
The case shape and dimensions are perfect....in my top two case shapes....not a fan of the champagne on this style of watch but that's extremely subjective....🏴⌚🏴⌚
It is unusual...so I had to review it. This is now one of my favourites from Ali now. Surprised myself! :)
Looks really good in the champagne colour John to big for me but finishing Looks as good as my seiko Land tortoise i recently got.I will wait for the Tandorio review as that looks good dimension wise
Great content as usual
Thanks Anthony.
You'd be surprised how good these wear even on small wrists, lug to lug of 47mm is right in the sweet spot. I only have 6.5" wrists and can wear them fine.
Good to hear 😊
I have one Heimdallr, they are a solid value.
I am impressed with this one for sure.
Anyone bought the titan version of the 1970? I wonder how light that one would wear.
97$ with code 980 current sale.
Nice 👍
seagulls in the background
Yup...typical Scottish seaside town :)
Minute hand is too short in my opinion.
Ah well some see the positives while some pick the negatives.
Tandorio is that a curry ?
Oh no...there's always one haha. If I had a penny for everyone who has said that :)
The Shark logo on the dial ruined it for me it looks like a toy IMO .
Really? I'm surprised. You're the first to say you don't like this logo. But everyone has their own likes and dislikes ;) Thanks for watching!
@@johnswatchjoint I enjoy your channel ✊
Thank you 🙏
so it costs less than the seiko, is better finished, and has no alignment issues....so not an accurate homage then!🤣
Succinctly put 😆 !
