Great idea, they should have done it years ago.
Two questions...
1. does anybody leave their dive computer behind to slip on a watch these days ?
2. will PADI now be announcing a Desk Diving course ;-)
Do I sense a little rivalry?Originally Posted by Gren
MUST have that SRPA21!
Available in the Autumn apparently, can't wait.

OMG nice one
The SUN065 would be the one for me, really interesting alternative colour scheme to the others in the SUNxxx range. Just a shame that they are truly massive on the (my) wrist.
Oh oh, to much bait. Not good for the wallet
1. I wear a watch when I train in a pool but not a computer
2. Probably! :)

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
This is the Turtle to have.
I actually threw my money at the screen but nothing happened.
Then ,I screamed - Take my money but no response except people around me looked at me as if I was crazy.
Guess, will have to wait till it shows up on some website for sale and then pull the trigger on this bad boy.
Some may be turned off by extra writing on the dial but I really like this one.
Really quite like the look of this. Too many options, not nearly enough cash!
Could be worse, could be the dissertation on the front of a Pelagos ;)
I'm a NAUI, SSI and TDI guy, and even *I'm* tempted...
No idea what that all means, but it is certainly a very tempting watch!
I'm going to get me one of each just to ease the wait for the next Scubapro labeled model...
Perfect excuse to post Dive watch used in Diving shot:
I had just qualified as Padi OW, AND its a Seiko.

Edit - BSAC now, doing my Sports Diver
^^ Good work Dave. Nice to see the watch doing what it was born to do :)
Re : Edit - BSAC now, doing my Sports Diver
If you are really 'doing' your watch, you should seek professional help.
I too love watches but not this much!
I'm CMAS, so if I turn with that on my wrist, my guys would probably drown me! Nice watch thou...

NAUI is the *other*, original, US dive school (founded 1960).
SSI was founded in 1970 (Scuba Schools International).
I've also studied with TDI (Technical Diving).
Never studied officially with PADI.
I like this one, have to see the dial for real!
I'll wager the chapter rings on these versions line up....!
I'm in the queue to get the Turtle version of these PADI specials...
Just to add to the list
PADI is professional association of dive instructors,
And BSAC is British Sub Aqua Club
Dave
The Turtle to have, definitely.
Always thought it was contrary not to have the blue dial with the Pepsi on the standard model.
I dove back in the day with only a single regulator and the ability to breath directly from the tank without a regulator. All while wearing my trusty Seiko 6309 7049, 1981 purchased and still have....mint condition.
Any info about this or just a rough guess?
Was quoted June/July by my local AD.
Now take that with a pinch of salt but at least they did call Seiko (not sure if JP or TH HQ) before getting back to me, so hopefully more substantial than a wild guesstimate.
I'm willing to be that these never officially come to the UK.
Thank you!
Have been informed by Seiko Australia of a tentative July release date also, no pricing.
Cheers Michael
Are they limited or will they be generally available? I really like those. Not screaming 'take my money' like them, but I would own and wear that
So it seems that this is the best info:
...or as good as any other.
Will be worth 5 or 6 times the price of a normal one in 20 years time with a commercial logo on the dial (oh wait, that only works with Rolexes)

Unfortunately this is a marketing tie-up, not a commercial one.
Like the Domino's Rolexes (and I'm sure I've seen some others).

PADI 'Put Another Dollar In'
BSAC 'Better Sign Another Cheque'
NAUI 'Not Another Underwater Idiot'
Now that's cleared up, like the watch!
Fixed that for you.
No idea what CMAS stands for. And as for BEFOS-FEBRAS...
Pay And Dive Immediately
Dave
Pay And Die Immediately is the one I've heard!
I'm a BSAC diver these days, but I started off with PADI and dive at their centres on holidays still, so no axe to grind (although some BSAC old-schoolers seem to have!).
M
So...does anyone know if these will be actually be available to the public??
NO, that's the point, you'll have show your PADI dive certificate !
Only joking ;-)
That's alright...I've got one of those! Somewhere....
There's little to go on, but see: #1, #5, #28.
Cheers.
If anything, it's introduced me to the SUN019. Now trying to internally justify spending £400 on one!
