Recommended 2020 Diving Watch - Seiko 62MAS Reissue SPB149J

In 1965, Seiko released the Seiko 6217 62MAS with a water resistance of 150m. This was Seiko’s first attempt at a serious diving watch. The 62MAS is equipped with large luminous hands and hour markers, a rotatable 60-minute diving bezel and a rubber strap. It already has All the elements of modern diving watches. The new Seiko Prospex SPB149 has a cool blue-gray dial, and now the bezel is made of frosted ceramic. A smaller 40mm case and an updated self-produced 6R35 automatic movement.
 
The case of SPB149 is made of stainless steel and has a super hard coating. It retains the classic shape of 62MAS. The strap is straight, the crown is at three o'clock, and the lugs are angular. The thickness of the Seiko case is 13.5mm, and the screw-in crown and screw-in bottom cover achieve a practical 200m water resistance. This is another upgrade to the original crown. Yuanzu only has 150m water resistance.
 
Seiko SPB149J is powered by the 6R35 movement. From the specifications, 6R35 has 24 gems, one more than the 23 of 6R15. The vibration frequency is maintained at 21,600bph, but the power is increased by 40% in one fell swoop, from 50 hours. Up to 70 hours can easily cope with work from Friday night to Monday, about 60 hours of weekly holidays, which is also in line with the current practice of various watch factories to upgrade the basic movement to more than 70 hours.
