    Very nice looking watch - the semi-covered bezel is a nice feature.
    I did some diving in the military in the late 1970's and was issued with a Heuer on a nylon strap. It was mechanical (self-winding) and rated to 1000ft. It said 'Professional' on the dial but I don't know what model it was. It was all black (probably steel - painted) with screw down crown which was a brass alloy (because the paint wore off after 20 years use).
    It had luminous dot markers, hands and numbers on the bezel - and it was easy to read in low visibility. It never failed after more than 2000 dives - varying in duration from 5+ hours in shallow water - clearing obstructions, surveying, reconnaissance and recovery, and later, as a commercial diver, up to depths of 500ft with mixed gasses - non-destructive testing of submarine structures, cutting, welding and salvage. In the days before reliable dive computers, a watch and depth gauge were all one had to avoid decompression problems.
    When I took up sport diving, in the 1980's many divers wore a Seiko (usually with an orange face). I did see one or two with misted glass but I think they were reliable - although I thought the orange face was harder to read.
    The Heuer was stolen from my hotel room in Paris in 1998 and I've often wondered who has it now and whether they know what it's been through. That would be my nominee as 'best dive watch'. Now I wear a Bremont Supermarine.

      Gavin Thomas I think I have found the model number of the watch you owned. Here is the reference: Vintage Heuer 1000 980.026.
      I hope u see this
      I did a quick google search of what you described and then found one that matched your description, then I found the serial number and googled the reference to make sure.

      @reality-cheque 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nandor Buga - many thanks for that. I’ve only just seen your reply after an alert. That certainly looks like my watch, although I think the crystal was flat and slightly recessed into the bezel, whereas this one looks like it is slightly domed. 980.026 could be a ‘civilian’ version but it looks really nice.

    “Seiko is my favourite watch company....ever”. I have a Speedmaster pro, Rolexes, a Pam etc. Just bought my sons turtles and Seiko 5s. I was so impressed, I just bought myself a MM300. My fist Seiko in 25 years. Seiko is now unequivocally my favourite watch company period.

Thats where it started - but it wasn't until I got my first proper watch (the Breitling B2) as a 40th birthday prezzie (15 years ago now) that it really kicked off. Been buying as I can afford spare change since.

    I love dive watches. No I don't go diving but I live in the Philippines and enjoy the beaches. I usually go swimming with my skx007 and use the dive time bezel to remind my sunblock retouch every 30mins. Massive respect for seiko after researching seiko's contribution to the development of dive watches. Love that seiko tuna!♥️

    I have two of these! And two of the Seiko black & gold titanium nitride watches. Of these four watches, two were purchased at the China Fleet Club in Hong Kong in 1978 when Hong Kong was still a British colony. All are running and keeping very good time. Whenever the batteries have run down, I send them in for cleaning, battery R&R, and service to dive specifications.

    I have had a SKX007 for about 15 years. It has been everywhere and still runs good with no service required. I have a Rolex that didn't do as well. I cannot fault Seiko at all. That's a nice watch. I am starting to like quartz a bit more for the less expensive servicing movements.

  • @jimrylander9143

    I always get a kick out of divers watches. They are beautiful, but no one really using them for diving.

    • @ROrneli
      @ROrneli 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      specially at 300 meters ! lol most recreational divers (also known as sport divers) do not get past the 160 feet mark because that requires a special mix. So the gold standard for most of the dive watches is 200 meters which more than covers 99% of diving. they may be maybe 100 saturation divers in the world. It is a nasty job, days in a capsule the size of a demolition ball and in total darkness and very very cold. Some people cross the 200 meter mark but a regular diving computer and ISO diving watch will easily cross 200 meters you just won't be able to operate the buttons on the watch past 200 (safely anyways)
      Old school diving watches like this are just for the look of the diver. almost all my watches are divers I am a big fan of the look. but when I go under I take my frogman GWF-A1000 on the left wrist and my diving computer on the right wrist.
      Besides salt water deteriorates watches and devaluates them quickly.I honestly only know 1 diver that dives with a Citizen aqualand but the rest use G-shocks as back ups. No one that I know would dive with a Rolex submariner or anything north of 1000 dollars.

      If you are truely diving with a watch frequently, gasket seals should be checked and replaced every 3-4 years. This also includes solar watches.
      With solar, the battery/capacitor will still die at some stage, in which case it will need replacing too.

    I own a super smart upscale watch collection but about a month decided to buy a watch for a friend as a gift. I chose a Seiko. Truth to tell, I didn't know a whole lot about 'em...above and beyond the obvious. But a month later...and I now know a whole lot more...
    And I have to say, I really am super impressed.
    The Grand Seiko is outrageous. But that aside and despite owning a Rolex Sub and a Bell and Ross, I have a Mini Turtle arriving imminently in the post. Gotta say that I'm pretty stoked about it! A super cool little watch I think that represent Uber bang for buck.
    Seiko I think should rightly be super proud of what they're doing.
    So keep up the good work my man. You're doing a bang up job. Subscribed from the other side of the pond!

    Hey Time teller tell me this please, The Tuna comes in many forms and prices (about three ranges) can you make sense of this for us?

Did you compare all and consider this one as best or are you saying any Tuna is best?

    I HAVE BEEN collecting Seiko watches since I was in the U.S. Army, 45 years ago. From the first time I saw a Seiko automatic, I was hooked. Overseas in the military was the perfect opportunity to by brand name watches at incredible prices. Often, right at the base exchange. Since a Rolex at that time cost under 200 dollars, you can imagine what great Seiko's cost. Obviously much less and very affordable. Yes, there is something about Seiko watches that goes beyond the good value and reliability. Its a cult.

    Indeed the quality does show. I can't tell from the pictures but does the shroud come off? On rare occasions I've had to clean fine sand out of my Seiko 5H26-7A19 bezel after some tropical diving and the thought of sand getting in between that bezel and shroud is scary. Also if it is removable, it would be interesting to see what is beneath.

    beautifull watch man. why is it so thick? if it is quartz whats inside it?

    • @thetimeteller
      @thetimeteller  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Ronald Kaim its thick because it has a serviceable Quartz movement that's fully metal, unlike the cheaper non-serviceable plastic movements. And the rest of the girth comes from sheer protection.

    I'm sold on this watch I have a seiko presage and I love it. But I have no idea where to get this watch in the uk. Also how much do these cost to have it serviced?

  • @hobbyoftheday4017
    @hobbyoftheday4017 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wish I could have the enthusiasm you have about Seiko...but I bought I seiko samurai dive watch, loved it, however the first time I wore it in water it leaked. Yes the crown was screwed down tight, no I never opened the case back. All the lume was ruined, do I sent it to be fixed/ I tried to get them to replace it with a different watch( same model). All they did was fix the dial they had no idea why it leaked customer service was horrible and it took a few months and cost around 100 bucks. So now I can't even take my dive watch diving because it will almost certainly leak. My casio duro has done several dives down to 100 feet and works perfect.

    Just were looking for a diving watch, this one looks quite amazing. Sorry for asking but it would really help me to know what is the size of your wrist to know how it would fit/look on my wrist. Thank you and awesome video by the way. You have a new follower

    Wow man, I love watching your channel, but it is so funny to watch this clip now-knowing what you think of Seiko by now😄. By the way I am a Seiko guy and still you’re mostly right about the limited edition overload.

  • @romeotoledo9986

    Nice review. I have the 009, Orange Monster and a Cocktail Time, which should be enough Seiko's for anyone. However, I've always wanted a robust quartz that I don't have to wind or worry about and keeps great time, and the Tuna will be it.

    Love how the Big Tuna looks - trying not to let the quartz movement put me off (I think there is a watch snob inside me I didn’t know was there ?!!!). Maybe time to add a seiko to the collection ...

    • @thetimeteller
      @thetimeteller  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +James Welling If the Tuna being quartz is putting you off, you may not know or care about the Tuna's history. (And that's totally fine! 😊) the fact is, the tuna's transition to a quartz movement was an important step for Seiko and I think that's super rad!

  • @mkhilario
    @mkhilario 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have the all black MM 300 ninja tuna. First Seiko diver I bought since my 6309 purchased new in 1982. The 6309 still works perfectly. Fyi, the 7c46 movement was developed for the first 1000m tuna released in 1986. It is a 7 jewel hi torque metal chassis movement and can only be found in Marinemaster Professional tunas.

    I do like your little films, I’m a Seiko freak too, always thought they were amazing watches, this year I treated myself to a NY0085-86EE Citizen Diving Watch, quite similar to an SKX007 in a face way, I was wondering what you think of it
