If you’re a Seiko fan, you’re no doubt familiar with 1975’s Reference 6159-7010, aka the ‘Grandfather Tuna.’ Seiko’s first serious dive watch meant specifically for saturation diving, the first Tuna — like all Tuna models — isn’t a looker. Rather, it’s a no-holds-barred instrument meant to take a beating. The SLA041 is a tribute to said watch, and boy, did Seiko knock it out of the park!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular example is housed in a 52.4mm ceramic and titanium case with \u003cem\u003ehidden\u003c\/em\u003e lugs, a sapphire crystal, and a black unidirectional dive bezel. It features a luminous, matte navy blue dial with highly legible round and triangular indices, a matching ‘monster’ handset, and a date window at 3:00. Powered by the automatic Seiko Caliber 8L35, it’s water resistant to a whopping 1,000m and has a helium escape valve for decompression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAccompanied by its factory goodies and paired to a blue rubber dive strap, this SLA041 is truly a serious diver’s dream. Though if you’re not a diver, you could do much worse in a vacation watch…and you’ll be given serious props by those ‘in the know’ along the way!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39926085976151,"sku":"40990784","price":3550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS07394_40990784_SEIKO_PROSPEXDIVER1975_SLA041-6.jpg?v=1661523398","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/seiko-prospex-diver-1975-as07394","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
