grew Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 With everyone so fascinated with Rolex no one has really paid as much attention to IMNSHO the greatest dive watch out there! The Seiko Marine Master 600m (SBDB001). It is honestly a fantastic design but the nerd inside of me gushes at the engineering marvel of the Spring Drive movement. Which uses an electronic brake instead of a traditional escapement to unwind the mainspring at a constant force (correct me if I am wrong). My watch is accurate to 4 seconds a month. I just think more people should think about Seiko Spring drive watches when they think about purchasing a luxury watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 My all time favorite Seiko watch!!! I too quite enjoy the spring drive mechanism and will one day own that watch!Can we see a wrist shot of that bad boy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 No question the Seiko Spring Drive is perhaps one of the most horolgically significant movement in the last 50+ years. Technologically speaking it SMOKES Rolex. Great watch!!! Is that also also a GMT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I honestly cant think of a watch that I would like to own more than a Spring Drive Seiko. The one above Is stunning to say the least. I hope one day to purchase a Ananta GMT. Wont be anytime to soon unfortunately. Something like this would do quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I am with you grew. Amazing piece of horological technology. I truely admire Seiko for pursuing new developments and technologies where most other companies are just playing with appearance. Great looking diver there. You are lucky to own such a great piece. I now officially hate you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Love the Spring Drive 600M. One of my all time favorites I hope to own one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 The high end Seikos, MM and Ananta, are true tehcnical marvels. However I have never really got to like them. Design wise, they are too similar to their cheaper sliblings. I guess some finds this rather an advantage. For instance, the hands does not extend all the way to their registers, making accurate reading difficult. The dials are also a mess of different type fonts and hand styles. Never the less, nice watches and kudos to Seiko for being a true innovator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
