Seiko Prospex Samurai PADI Edition Review - New Release for Fall 2017

Join us today for an exclusive look at the brand new Seiko Prospex Samurai PADI edition. The latest Seiko-PADI collaboration model is a brand new release for the fall of 2017, and does not disappoint. Powered by the self-winding, hacking 4R35 movement with 23 jewels, this automatic watch never needs a battery. It gets its energy from your wrist movement.

True to the PADI labeling, it is a serious dive watch, with 120 click easy to turn uni-directional bezel, copious amounts of lumibrite for low level viewing, knurled crown, hardlex crystal, 200 meter water resistance and a beautiful wave pattern dial. Presented on a solid link and endlink Seiko bracelet with diver extension, it is the ultimate tool diving watch.

I've worn my Seiko 009 for 44 years and I think I might be adding another to my collection. Mark, I really enjoy your channel, keep up the great work.

Recently learned about your business and heard many people speak very positively about you. My next new watch purchase will surely be on your website. Thank you!

I agree Marc, it’s a very cool watch and that lume colour variation is very nice, but for me, I’m still smiling from ear to ear when I wear the Samurai srpb51 I recently bought from you, so I’ll have to pass on the little beauty you’ve got on offer. No doubt it’ll fly out the door in sales. Very nice review too 👍🏻

Bought my 7002 in 1988 and still going strong...!!!

I’m so impressed with this samurai! So happy that I’ll be able to order one this week. I really hope they stay in stock!

Great video, Marc! I just placed my order - can't wait to get this gorgeous watch. I'm sure it will be a keeper in my collection. I love everything about this watch from the wave pattern on the dial to the case and bracelet.

I love the Turtle but can not find one with a good chapter ring lined up correctly. Tried on a Samurai at Macy's and was impressed by the bezel action. I was also surprised the Samurai cost less then the Turtle and do not have the chapter ring issue.

Yeah, that is a beast. My biggest is SARW007 (like Presage), which is 40mm. I have a 7" wrist. This one will be a new level!

Thanks for saying PADI is "the largest" diving instructor organisation, and not saying "the diving instruction organisation". People seem to not know that there are other (and in many cases better) organisations

[tzkflmzn]

That's definitely going on the wish list. Happy to see Seiko divers that don't have the second hand lume on the balance.

Hey Mark! Happy New Year!
You had a lot of Seikos going through your hands. Do you know what is the difference between the M0FPA37J0 and the M0FPA47J0 metal bracelets? Which would you recommend for a Samurai King Padi?

Ugh the PADI Turtle is gonna be my birthday present 😍

[joaquin]

Beautiful watch, yet at this price point I would of prefer to see sapphire crystal.

[cornycogwheels]

A turquoise loom?! It's beautiful!

[gedikoglu]

Hi Mark. What a great watch isnt it 😃...
I have a question. As i can see there is MOVT JAPAN sign on yours dial. But some others have no any JAPAN sign neither dial or back. So they are not made in japan. Maybe malaysia or etc. Right???

[VictorC]

Mark next time pleas reset the bezel if you don't use it, because my OCD can't handle that ! ;-)

[soylentgreen]

Mark, I am a customer and a subscriber and i have a suggestion. I was just looking at your Graf Zeppelin LZ129 and there are SIX photos of the FRONT of the watch! Having a least one photo of the front, profile and back of each of the watches on Island's site would be great for comparison purposes. Thanks for your time and I always learn something from your videos.

The Lume reminds of the citizen BN0151-09L blue lume. Beautiful piece, wish I could add this Seiko to my collection

[glens]

Hi Mark. First after finding your videos I've become a big fan. Well done. I've just purchased a SRPB99 and your video was the determining factor. I do have a couple of questions. 1. I want a Strapcode strap for it but can't find one for this watch, what do you recommend?. 2. What would be the approximate cost to have a sapphire domed crystal installed? Thanks in advance and keep yor awesome videos coming!

7:12 sorry, I'm still pretty new to automatic movements and watches, in general. Why should you not set the date while in between those times?
Edit: nvm I remembered I know how to use google haha
