The line-up

  1. 1

    Seiko SLA051 'Naomi Uemura'

    9/10 · Beyond thunderdome

    A glamorous reinterpretation with a beautiful charcoal textured dial and a sapphire bezel insert, but it has the horrendous X and a 4 o'clock date I don't really like.

  2. 2

    Seiko SLA033 'Captain Willard' Re-creation

    9/10 · Beyond thunderdome

    The faithful recreation: mint, Zaratsu even on the bezel ring, no X, and the smoothest bezel action there is.

In his words

"It's like a charcoal grey."

▶ Play from 05:03

"Smoothest bezel action there is."

▶ Play from 08:41

"It's really a crazy world, the world of Seiko."

▶ Play from 10:16

"Properness cannot be overstated."

▶ Play from 14:20
