Seiko Prospex "62MAS" Black Series Limited Edition Watch Review - SBDC153 (SBP253)

Seiko Prospex "62MAS" Black Series Limited Edition Watch Review - SBDC153 (SBP253)

Nick Lehner

As you might know, I'm a big fan of the Seiko 62MAS series of vintage-inspired divers. I owned SBDC101 (SPB143), and currently own the blue Save the Oceans Special Edition SBP297. When my friend recently picked up the 1/5500 pieces Black Series Limited Edition SBDC153 (SPB253), of course I had to ask to borrow it!

Seiko Prospex White King Samurai Watch Review (SRPE37)

Nick Lehner

Although I've previously owned and enjoyed an Orange Samurai, when I was offered a white dial SRPE37 King Samurai in trade, I couldn't resist. I'm a sucker for a white dial Seiko with black accents, and thought it would be a fun one to experience.

Seiko x Beams Solar Prospex Fieldmaster Digital Tuna Watch Review (SBEP021) - Did Seiko Make A G-Shock?

Nick Lehner

On the off chance that you're familiar with the Seiko x Beams Fieldmaster, you might be thinking I'm a fan of Japanese streetwear. In truth, I just thought the Seiko Digi Tuna looked cool in bright orange and I "accidentally" bought one on eBay. Read the review to find out what happens when Seiko makes a G-Shock.

Citizen NB6021-68L Challenge Diver Fujitsubo vs. Seiko SPB297 62MAS Save The Ocean Watch Review

Nick Lehner

The Fujitsubo is Citizen's answer to the Seiko 62MAS, which I said was the best dive watch for around $1,000. I purchased a blue Fujitsubo, as well as Seiko's blue glacier SBP297 Save the Ocean, to find out which one is my new favorite.

One of the most visited StrapHabit articles is the review of Seiko SBDC101 (SPB143). Seiko has since released more colors, so a revisit to the 62MAS was in order. I found myself purchasing the Save the Ocean Special Edition (SPB297) to check out due to its beautiful dial. Click to read the review.

Seiko Prospex White "Slim Turtle" Watch Review (SPB313, SBDC171, SPB313J1)

Seiko Prospex White "Slim Turtle" Watch Review (SPB313, SBDC171, SPB313J1)

Nick Lehner

In truth, I often miss my SPB143, which I sold to fund a Prospex LX. It was one of my favorite watches for around $1,000, and had very few flaws. I chose to buy the SPB313 because I liked its white dial with black hands and indices, but my hope was also that the Slim Turtle could fill the shoes of the 62MAS. Was it able to? Keep reading to...
