The Seiko SPB149J is a 2020 Reimagining of the Brand's First-Ever Dive Watch

We've become accustomed to the sight of a vintage reissue in the watch world. The Seiko SPB149J is a modern reissue of the 62MAS, which was Seiko's first ever dive watch and it opts to proffer a modern interpretation of the OG, rather than a slavish 1:1 reproduction.

This is a modern Seiko dive watch that employs some design cues from the original. The case has a similar shape. The dial layout is also clearly inspired by the 62MAS. But it is a thoroughly modern watch in the movement, bracelet (the original was sold on a rubber strap), and proportions of many other elements of the watch. As a result, we aren't presented with a watch that looks too vintage for the modern enthusiast, or misses the details that would upset the vintage collector.

The result is a watch that feels very coherent in the impression it gives and the way it sits on the wrist, making it a very compelling option for anyone in the market for a relatively affordable and well-balanced sports watch.

And don't you all know it. The fanatical response to the SPB149J puts it among the most positively received Seiko dive watch models of the last five years. There's some very stiff competition in that echelon, and even still, it's possibly a podium finish for this very comely watch, and we can confirm it delivers on the hype on the wrist.

The Seiko SPB149J has an Australian RRP of $1,995, and is limited to 5,500 pieces worldwide.
