Seiko Prospex Marinemaster 140th Anniversary MM300 LE SLA047/SBDX043
Seiko dive watches are about as cool as they come. Whether that be the Willard, SLA017 or the Turtle, they have a clear design language all of their own, are tough as nails, and rightly coveted by Seiko collectors, and greatly respected by the watch enthusiasts the world over.
What we have here is a limited edition release in celebration of Seiko's 140th anniversary. Known as the SLA047 for export markets, and SBDX043 for the OEM market, it's based around the original 6159-7000 from 1968. It features a 44.3mm monoblock steel case with 300m of water resistance, and is 15.4mm thick with a lug-to-lug of 50.5mm.
It’s topped with a Uni-Directional ceramic dive bezel with a lovely action, which surrounds a sapphire crystal. Underneath this crystal lies a deep green green anniversary dial designed to mimic the verdant jungles and mangrove swamps on Iriomote island in Japan's southern Okinawa prefecture. Powering it is the 8L35 automatic movement, and its mounted to a steel bracelet, with the option of a green silicone bracelet to match the dial.
This particular piece presents in TZ 'Near Mint' condition. Case shows some small marks around the lug holes, a few minor scuffs near the bevel lines, and minor marks on the rear of the lugs from strap changes. Please see images for full condition details.
Currently mounted to Seiko's steel bracelet, and includes all links. The clasp has been changed from the original extendable version to Seiko's more simple, and thinner, folding clasp. Shows some desk dive marks.
Comes with outer sleeve, inner box, hang tags and green Seiko silicone strap.
