Thread: Seiko Navigator Timer (1968 GMT Reissue)

  1. #1

    Seiko Navigator Timer (1968 GMT Reissue)

    It's been rumoured but I see it is now on the Seiko website as a November launch:





    SBEJ015 (Japanese model reference) I think the overseas ref is SPB411J

    It came after the GMT Master but three years before the Explorer 2, which I often see Seiko accused of homaging in their recent designs.

    Rotating bezel, box sapphire (anti reflective coating on the underside). Dimensions: 12.6mm x 38.5mm. Movement is the 6R54

    Limited edition of 4000, of which 500 for Japan. It's in the Prospex range, but with 100m WR and no X, not even on the back

    Oh yes, list price is ¥209,000 (about £1,150) including tax

    Looks lovely but expensive for what it is.

    Looks good. Very faithful to the original right down to the bracelet.

    I would always prefer a traveller GMT to an office GMT, and this is the latter. Seiko used to only offer traveller GMT watches, now they seem to favour releases with the office type, a less useful complication to my mind

    An original 6117-8000 for reference:



    Note the re-issue includes the shorter Seiko logo

    Feels wrong to be an office gmt on this watch. Is this the same movement as per the Seiko 5 gmt? And though no X, still feels expensive for what it is.
