Seiko has Emailed me and confirmed 2 things: 1.) This is a Special Edition and is Discontinued. 2.) The bezel insert MATERIAL REVEAL: insert is a metal insert coated with titanium black carbon. Words from Seiko themselves. I know i'm a year late but hope you guys enjoy this beauty still and like the video!

[@kikomachine8276]

Awesome watch!

[@boldold]

If that is in fact what they call titanium carbide then it is the same as on the Grand Seiko SBGA229/231, and it is awesome.

[@a.y.s.101]

If you had to choose between this SPB083J1 and SRPE37K1to buy which would you get regardless of the price? I'm stuck between these two and don't know which to get.

[@kikomachine8276]

One of the best modern Seiko divers out there...

[@sladkru]

The Great Blue Hole is the most famous dive site in Belize and was discovered by Jacques Cousteau.

[@EscapementWatch]

Awesome! I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing!

[@you.8208]

Belize?

[@chazfromtheburg]

The MM200 is my favorite Seiko Diver. I have the SBDC063 or I would jump on this one in a heartbeat. Nice video. Thanks!

[@EscapementWatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@christiaanvanderree1740]

Nice to see you’re covering the exact same watch I’m wearing now. My wrist really isn’t that big, but the watch wears very comfortably indeed, both on the bracelet as well as on the silicon strap. Thanks for the video!

[@fungus70]

This looks better than the new MM200.

[@TheBoldHairspring]

I just got the green limited edition one (zimbe 12) can't wait to get it. Great video mate!

[@EscapementWatch]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@paranormalskeptic3893]

I have this one, and in my opinion, this watch has the best dial ever. It’s truly mesmerizing. Wears fantastic, looks ever better. Truly my favorite watch that I own. And I own Hamilton’s, Oris, etc.

[@EscapementWatch]

Agree the dial is something special

[@jodysilvia2]

I bought one and I'm impressed with the dia- shield coating.

[@jonathanstoddard2081]

I have this same piece but in the JDM reference # (SBDC065). Like all the MM200s it wears very comfortable, looks fantastic, and has the added advantage of the DiaShield coating. This particular dial defies accurate photography and videography and really should be seen in the metal. Perhaps a bit late, agreed, but nice review all the same. 😊

[@EscapementWatch]

Thanks for sharing!

Couldn't resist just bought one for me :) My first Seiko 🙂

[@evangelossarikas367]

Hi I have both watches. SBDC065, Like: Dial, size, bracelet, hands and indexes, Don’t like: glass, Bezel insert .......... MM200, Like: Dial, Bezel insert, glass, luminous indexes. Don’t like: size. I preferred to buy these two Seiko watches instead of the Tudor Blackbay Heritage 41 mm. And I did not regret it

[@faizalridho499]

could you tell me whats the different?

[@garyk8285]

These Gen1 MM200's cases look like a large 41mm tbh. 9:32 At the side by side with the newer release 63MAS, the MM200 Gen1 just looks a tad longer, but quite similar. 9:23 But its when you compare them at the profile view, the MM200 Gen 1 looks much bigger due to the thin bezel and the large dial space. That's why I reckon it wears like a Large 41mm. The dial space is quite a bit for my taste, but it's still a very nice watch.

[@mrpipspoppersv9093]

I have the green dial one, It is a special edition but does not say it on the case back.

[@twstrchasr]

Damn what a beauty !!!

[@manuel_winde]

I have one and was planning to sell it but it’s really nice and every time I look at it I’m thinking “why?!”- it wears well and looks so good.

[@MKIVGTIVR6]

I am having that battle with myself constantly. I know if I sell it I will regret it but the new MM200 looks sweet. Definitely prefer the older lume though.

[@resjon7981]

Just bought one.

[@ahojnazdar3656]

Which do you prefer? This one or the 140th anniversary limited edition SPB207J1?

[@marcjs183]

Hi! Great Chanel, nice video. I got the twilight blue. And its alright but I am not so happy about only one issue. The lumubrite at the left side is not so even aplícated, like a Ballon which inflates to the inside and you can see like a carve at the surface of the lumubrite. It's that ok, is that normal seiko quality, should I Reclam or giving it back? Please help. Greetings!

[@EscapementWatch]

sounds like an air pocket while applying it. this is not so common. If its under warranty I'd try to get a replacement. ask your local AD if its bugging you.

[@blackcatsarenopussies]

Any chance reviewing the Twilight MM200? Great job and lovely watch

[@EscapementWatch]

not sure if I can get my hands on one unfortunately!

[@blackcatsarenopussies]

Guess it is discontinued as well. I will probably order one as I found it at 805 $, brand new from AD. They have a sale and I really like the case and finishing touches. Wonder what this range will be replaced with

[@larsdragl670]

Could you do a indepth comparison between this mm200 and the mmr? Would be great👍

[@EscapementWatch]

I did a comparison video I don't know how in-depth it is but check it out on the channel

[@shawnlavigne9069]

Nice watch. Great review. Sure looks like ceramic.

[@EscapementWatch]

It does! but its not! It does scratch kinda easy.

[@sumeetdhalla007]

@@EscapementWatch even with the diashield coating? Thinking about getting worried about scratches as its not ceramic!

[@sanjaymariner]

I own this watch any idea whats the market price rightnow and the perticular demand for this model?

[@mariosimas]

did you mention that the case and the bracelet has a dark greyish tone ? looks like titanium. Is it the diashield treatment ?

[@EscapementWatch]

Yes it's coated with diashield and it does darken SS

[@marcosramon1014]

Hi! great video, very infomative, how similar is this watch with Seiko Twilight Blue Limited Edition? Greetings

[@EscapementWatch]

Same chassis. Very different Dial color. And insert on twilight I believe is aluminum.

[@marcjs183]

@@EscapementWatch so the question is, is the twilight worth it?

[@EscapementWatch]

if you like it then yes of course!

Hi can you tell me how much does it cost thanks ☺️

not that I know of. discontinued and I was holding the last one. It sold in a couple days after the video. Only mm200's left are the green one.

What model Zelos is that on your wrist 👀

[@EscapementWatch]

Mako 3 Whirlpool dial I did a review on it

[@stanleynadulek4195]

I just purchased this on the bay BNIB and it is exquisite. The cyan blue is breath taking. BTW, you keep mentioning 63 MAS it is 62 MAS

[@EscapementWatch]

63 mas is the "6" r "3" 5a movement. just like the old 62mas used the first 2 numbers as a nickname. the new 6R35a 62mas re-imaginations are nicknamed 63mas

[@EscapementWatch]

a 62mas would be the real one or the offical Re-Creations *seikos own words* SLA017 SLA043 SLA037 and the BEAMS.

@@EscapementWatch I actually have the original 62 MAS 6215. Haven't worn it for years

its a sapphire bezel insert

[@EscapementWatch]

No it's not. But it does look shiny like one. I emailed Seiko and they responded with what is made out of. Feel free to email Seiko USA and ask them

[@manuel_winde]

The mm300 I had looked the same but it was metal that was heavily lacquered, which was good and never scratched in the year or so I wore it every day.

[@supermash1]

Your review was not critical, more just a few measurements and you gushing over it. Not very helpful. I found a used one locally and want to know about this watch in depth.
