Seiko SBDX014 Marinemaster 'Emperor Tuna' Rose Gold/Black - 2019
Seiko SBDX014 Marinemaster 'Emperor Tuna' Rose Gold/Black
Seiko manufacture some of the coolest, most historically significant and toughest dive watches out there, and the Tuna line encapsulates all of these traits to a tee. Every watch collector should experience a Tuna at some point!
Released in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Seiko Dive watches, it features a very distinctive 52mm ceramic shroud surrounding a titanium inner case. It wears smaller than this size would suggest as it is almost a lugless design, so the traditional lug-to-lug measurement is not dissimilar to a Black Bay 41.
Within this case lies a black dial with large luminous plots, heavily lumed rose-gold plated hands, and gilt lettering which is a lovely touch. It's surrounded by a 120 click uni-directional dive bezel with rose gold plating to match the crown and hands, that is then protected by the Tuna ceramic outer casing. It's powered by the magnificent 8L35 automatic movement, and mounted to the supple silicone Seiko strap with rose gold tone hardware.
This particular piece was first purchased in 2019 and presents in TZ Near Mint condition, with the only real blemish being a couple of small rub marks on the side of the case. Please see images for full condition details.
No known service history. All functions operate as they should.
Comes with outer sleeve, inner box, instruction booklet, warranty booklet (expired) and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
RRP on this watch was 3,450 Euro, so quite an expensive proposition. Save big on this near mint example.
