Seiko Prospex Owner Review : Accomplished, robust and modern

This new Seiko Prospex is a real success for the price offered. Ceramic bezel, 200m water-resistant, 72 hours of power reserve. It is good to know that it is a real diver, it is thick and that goes with the "professional" DNA of the watch. So it is not a GMT that can be worn as a shirt... especially since the beauty weighs its weight... once again it is a real "pro". Nevertheless, the complication is a plus on this diver. It brings novelty to the collection and a touch of gold on this green version which is appreciable on this green sunray dial. The ceramic bezel brings this modern side to the watch which nevertheless wants to be a reinterpretation of 1968... Although with a diameter of 42mm, the horn to horn is perfectly suited to my (chicken) wrist. The case is frankly well worked, alternating brushed polish and mirror on the chamfers... to the delight of the eyes! The crown is not "badged", which is a shame for a watch at €1700... but it's a detail. The bracelet is correct, nothing more. The clasp is not up to par for my taste, however. Noisy and leaving a little juice... it is also rather well done in terms of finishes (alternating mirror and brushed) but qualitatively not sufficient. The movement is also correct, nothing more in terms of precision. In short, a beautiful GMT diver which, with a ceramic bezel and 72 hours of power reserve, is hard to beat from a price point of view...
