The Seiko Orange Monster - The Monster can never die

- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- The legacy continues, the Seiko Monster in my opinion is a legacy diver. It will live on longer than any of us and no matter how much the industry advances, the Monster still never feels antiquated or outpaced. Sure the Gen 1 movements with no hacking or manual winding do hold them back in this regard, but that’s really about it. It’s still awesome on the wrist and awesome in the eyes and performs as expected in real world use as well as actual diving.

Excellent presentation. I still have my Gen 1 orange monster that I purchased from Island Watch in NY in 2012. Mine has the black rubber wrist strap. Still has its box, user manual, & silver hang tag. Never going to sell it.
Thank you. Finally good to hear and know of another DiveWatcher that absolutely will not wear anything less than a 42mm. I’m the same exact way and I’ve been that ay ever since I began collecting back in 2001/2002. I also just so happened to have picked up another first gen orange monster which like you, that I’ve owned several variations of way back in the early 2000s. Had we only known at the time what they to become. I have a small dive watch review channel called 4 O’clock Crown @TheDiveWatcher and just recently did a review of this same classic. Enjoyed and liked. Take care.
I have the Srph75 Save the Ocean Antartica. The one with the dark dial. I love the Monster. Nice video👍
God there was a time I had two of these…wish I still had both.
This is masterpiece
Brings back memories of watching you on Shop and World of Watches
The monster is seikos greatest design ever.
Great review! Very informative 👍

I just got the "Halloween Monster" today on ebay for $400 plus shipping. I must have lucked out!
wow you really did luck out. Congrats!
I've had the Heimdallr. Great watch but lume is good early but doesn't last . Otherwise excellent quality.
FUGU baby Thanks for sharing as always my friend Be well 👍
I have both of the SKX monsters. The SKX779 and the SKX781. They are mainstays in my collection. I don't have the SKZ or SRP monsters (yet). I have added the MM300 ti/steel ratcheting clasp to mine. Makes wearing them very nice with on the fly adjust. Cheers!!
SRPK53K is a sweet Monster
Oh if only you'd have kept your yellow 1st gen SKZ203. limited edition of 300 and fetching over $3000. Great video btw and that 781 is a beautiful NOS piece from your friend. Ive owned every model ever released.
Wait you said your taking 5 mins to discuss a watch, the channel is called 5 min watch review and the video is 27 mins long. WTF lol. What time keeping is that? Good Lord.
You can definitely pull off smaller sizes. From looking your wrist with the watch in, that’s the maximum before the threshold and anything bigger might look like a child wearing an adult watch, whereas if you go smaller sizes, you can generate a classic and minimal vibe.
$800 price tag isn't worth it! For that price you can buy a swiss made watch ⌚
Do they still sell Monsters? Wouldn't mine owning one

日本では、全てのMonsterは生産完了。販売終了した。現在購入できるMonsterは流通在庫のみとなった。
ちなみに、日本では、正規販売代理店で購入できるMonsterは【JDM】のみ。
具体的には、2024年8月現在、SBDY105とSBDY115の在庫を持っているショップがいくつかある。SBDY105/SBDY115以外はもう購入できない。
SRPG57/SRPH75は、曜日を漢字表示に設定することができない。英語/スペイン語、英語/アラビア語など。
SBDY105/SBDY115は、漢字表示設定可能。日本語漢字/英語。
4th Gen.Monsterでは、Orange Monster【JDM】は発売されなかった。恐らく、国外生産のMonsterでも4th Gen.Orange Monsterは存在しない。（見たことがない）
■Orange Baby-Monster
SRPB39
私は、Gen.1,Gen.2,Gen.3のOrange Monsterを購入することができなかった。
正規販売代理店ではない、輸入品を扱うショップ（グレーマーケット）でSRPB39を購入することができた。
現在は、グレーマーケットでも見かけることがなくなった。Orange Monsterを購入する場合、中古を探すしかないと思います。
あるいは、、数年待てば、Gen.5 Monsterが新発売されると思います。
ただし、、SAMURAIやTURTLEがSAPPHIREになり、値上がりしたので、、次世代MonsterもSAPPHIREになって値上がりすると思います。。
I have a purple monster!
That’s Awesome! Those were cool JDMs.
Great video, I love Seiko Monsters too. Random question: how did you turn off the lights if you had both hands on the watch?
He’s using some boom lights, the switch is a button on the floor possibly.
Its called editing. WTF lol. his hands were not on the watch when the lights went off lol.
