The line-up

Seiko SLA019 'Deep Forest'
10/10 · Unreal scenarioThe first of the new generation. I wanted it so desperately when it came out, and that verdant sunburst dial on my wrist is an unreal scenario.
- 2
Seiko SLA047 'Island Green'
9/10 · Beyond thunderdomeHandsome, with bezel action out of this world, though the painted-on loom pip instead of a shrouded one isn't for me.
- 3
Seiko SLA021 (black dial)
Write-up comingThe purist's diver and the simplest of the lot: understated, deep black and absolutely stunning, though not compact or lightweight by any means.

Seiko SLA023 Marinemaster 300
9/10 · Beyond thunderdome · Gethin's ownMy own blue sunburst, from very light blue to almost black depending on the light, and probably my favourite Marinemaster of all time.
