New Seiko Prospex PADI SPB501: Thoughts?
I’m new to Seiko and have never owned one, however this emerald green beauty caught my eye. I love the throwback nod to the MAS era with the perfect dial symmetry, vintage inspired hand-set and retro diver case shape. If you look closely at the sun burst dial, it’s a view of the surface of the ocean, with waves, from the perspective of a diver looking upwards from underneath the surface. Considering adding a green diver, and this checks many boxes and looks very attractive. What do you guys think of this special version? And the asking price of $1,550 USD? And Seiko divers in general? Thanks! 🍻

Thanks Filip!
40 x 13 x 46.5 mm! No Seiko store nearby to try one on. So going by pics and wrist shots for now. Those proportions are just about perfect for a desk diver like me! 🙂
Not yet
On my wrist… 😂 But certainly considering. In my exhaustive search, I couldn’t find better at the price point. Appreciate your insight! 👍🏻
The unlikely chance there is something better 🤪
But this is def the frontrunner right now ! 👌🏻
Quite charming
The shade of green is distinctive enough to avoid looking like a green submariner, I like it!
Great proportions and good looking green dial
Fits your bill. You have to at least try it on. Enjoy!
Agreed 100%
The dial is special on this one and I love how the bezel matches green too. Unfortunately there is not a Seiko store nearby to try before I buy. If it were more expensive , I’d want to see it in the metal first. But I may just go rogue and order it sight unseen! 😂
That is a great looking diver and that particular green dial & bezel is eye catching.
Thanks Larry !
It’s the best I’ve found after looking at a hundred green watches online ! 😂 I just dislike that feeling, maybe there is a very small chance of there being something better I haven’t discovered yet 🤪
