I love a compass bezel, it's something I can use. I feel like it connects me with the universe too I have the night vision, the strap does break in well. It is comfy enough to get worn to bed and I can read the time until dawn or it's time to get up, so it does the job.

Back in the early 2000s, I got a Black Monster and Orange Monster when every watch forum nut was getting them. The lume was my first taste of Seiko's Lumibrite, and it was astonishing. It spoiled me for almost any other brand's lume application, making flaws and spottiness in other brand's lume glaringly apparent. Interesting how Seiko is now competing with itself to create the thickest and longest lasting lume. The Night Vision lume looks super.

Oh yes, that was my start too, and the gen 1 Monster is still on my top favorites list, I don't know how many I flipped before finally settling down on it. I also remember the next stage, the Monster mods!

Seiko knocked it out of the park with this night vision line.

These look really sleek and I noticed that my NV Samurai's crown screws in and out really smoothly like premium watches do. But the new lume isn't really better than the ones on the other Samurais. It also takes longer to charge up.

I scratchbuild my own watches (I don't sell them), and I use the Turtle case for most. I find it suits every look except Subbie-style. This Night Vision is the Seiko that Seiko should have made ages ago.

I have the night vision one with minute bezel. Absolutely awesome watch in every regard. Great for any casual occasion.

Thanks Seiko for the applied logo.

As someone who as admittedly fallen out of love with Seiko as brand and would easily recommend Hamilton/Tissot/Mido over them, at this point lume is the only thing they offer as a company that places them above their competition. I don't find that to be enough, but it's cool to see this new innovation.

Fantastic video! Is the green model on the right or left side of the video during the lume battle? Thanks for doing this. I recently bought the green and while I love the dimensions and the color, I’m undecided on if I wish I had gone for blue lume.

@EscapementWatch 2 жыл бұрын

Green one is on the left side. The one that died first.

The bezel insert is my only complaint too, but I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on this one regardless

@mharto456 2 жыл бұрын

The dimensions of the tortoise are perfect in my opinion, nice and short lug-2-lug. Do you know what the dimensions are for this “slim Willard” you mentioned?

@EscapementWatch 2 жыл бұрын

41mm is all I'm sure of. But it will wear smaller like a 39mm and we will talk about it in the video.

That bezel I find useful

I really like your video but that compass bezel is useless? 😮

@davidconstanzo7370 Жыл бұрын

Don't understand your concern with the compass bezel, can easily be mentaly converted to minute hashes as opposed to directional hashes.

@MarkACarroll 2 жыл бұрын

The gap between the case and spring bar is way tight. Haveston canvas straps I bought to match don’t fit, just the super skinny cheap NATOs fit. I’m going to have to get some curved spring bars.

Nice review. The compass bezel can be used for Sun orientation navigation, but I too would prefer a 12 bezel.

I use dive time bezel to time every day things. Like how long have I been working out. Or baking something. It is really useful for daily activities.

@Crespo_9125 Жыл бұрын

Puede ser útil para medir tiempos en la cocina, por ejemplo.

Can you confirm the case is DLC coated and not PVD with DiaShield (like the most recent Black Series)? I can't seem to locate specifics anywhere.

@EscapementWatch Жыл бұрын

Seiko told me all prospexs are DLC not PVD.

@jayeyesacks1604 Жыл бұрын

@@EscapementWatch Thanks for confirming.I'm very close to purchasing this piece, but the compass bezel is putting me off. I did reach out to Long Island Watch and mentioned the cult following the Tortoise has, so maybe Marc will put out a timing bezel for it in the near-term.
