Check out the Armida A12, in my view the best built of these 62 MAS watches. They pop up on Ebay every now and then.

Great review, you have a great voice over for reviews. I don’t know if you ever review San Martin but they have a 37mm MAS watch as well that’s only about 12.8 thick and with a high beat movement. It would be cool to see a comparison between this one and that one.

Great job, thank you! went through the comments. we are glad to hear more voice from market, and thanks for support us all the time :) cheers from China

[@EscapementWatch]

Thank you too!

[@marcuschamp1460]

.......Thanks for the excellent review ....... last year I bought the basic black dial ( actually like a sunburst grey ) with silver hands , C3 lume , single dome sapphire and of course the all important aluminium bezel ........ a simply stunning watch with superb finish ...... looks the absolute bees knees on a high quality contrast stitch ( not a two stitch though ) leather strap I added ...... probably the most faithful 62MAS homage watch around for an exceptionally good price given its quality ..... even the box it comes in is a cut above the rest ...... Its nearest contender is the wonderful Armida A12 but that is an extra $210 , but worth it ..... yeah I bought one of those as well .........

Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank u Markus. I remember u 😉

[@dangermuz]

Thanks for the great review. Do you happen to know what size crystal these use?

[@rubensanmaurodelbosqur1950]

Excelente video. 👏👏🤩🤩

[@alphagammabeta1]

Fantastic size and price. My only critique is the indices from 1 to 11; they look a bit too large.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Looks pretty solid but I think San Martin and others would be a viable option at a little bit less of a premium.

[@knowyourhistory]

San Martin's 37mm version costs way more than this

[@WesWatchRoom]

@@knowyourhistory it does, I was thinking of the 41 not the 37

[@kyleweber9760]

Stunning looking watch this......

[@denisdeschamps1472]

Female endlink H link bracelet sounds fab.

[@Marta-nl1xe]

Would you get that or any of Fifty Four watches (Willard, sl025) or the newest Seiko 5 38 mm over Seiko Prospex Solar 38,5 in terms of comfort/balance/ wearability for a small wrist? I know Solar has no AR, I just need a comfy watch :)

[@EscapementWatch]

seiko 5, 38.5 solar

@@EscapementWatch Thank you!

Sweet 62mas

[@paulhart2021]

@escapement and watch, do you think that the Fifty four brand is better than the Seestern?

[@EscapementWatch]

I haven't handled any recent seesterns so I can't say for sure sorry.

[@paulhart2021]

@@EscapementWatch no problem. I think we all cannot go wrong with the Fifty four!!!! Thx

[@CocoKoi321]

I actually know the creator of the brand and she's 100% a seiko enthusiast and great watch maker I like the idea of the black style hands and numerals it's sorta a homage to the rolex explorer 2 polar it has a deep contrast but on this watch it allows a cool void to appear in the dial and nothing be standing out too much , problem I'll say on the darker non green lume tho, it'd SERIOUSLY be improved by C3 and low lume always hurts everyday and green lume always is nicer on the eyes

[@watching_nyc]

I’m not generally a homage fan but this is pretty nice. I like the size (except height) very much but I’m gonna have to strongly disagree regarding the crystal. I like the boxed sapphire especially since it aesthetically matches a true vintage watch. Even sitting low you still get a nice distortion imo. Thanks for the share!

[@EribanSkywalker]

Realy like that they try to come as close as they can to the original. Therefor i think the black hands are kind of out of place. Hope they change that in the future. Not intrested in a bracelet, a 62mas should be on a rubber strap.

[@yvesleroy5740]

Ahhhrrzzzoo very nice 👍

[@DennisBible]

The best 62mas homage is the Armida A12 by far.

[@jerrysetyawan]

Is the bezel action similar to skx007?

[@EscapementWatch]

no. Very different. Light and air like. I turned it by mistake putting my shoes on and it rubbed on my side.

[@zezem]

FEMALE end links. Don't really mind any bracelet as long as the end links are female, unlike the Seestern monstrosity.

[@EscapementWatch]

Spot on!

[@jameshoward9700]

Nice - good, practical size. Of course, the 62MAS was a blatant rip-off (no polite 'homage' back then!) off the Blancpain Bathyscaphe from '56, which was 37mm too, so this could equally be a Blancpain homage... Funny when a watch homages the copy. But marketing aside, it's good to see some smaller divers returning to market. Let's hope it influences the Big R, O and S! And GS!!!

[@TheCdM1981]

37mm is a great ladies size watch.

Cool, a lifted truck owner in the comments today.
