Received my new watchdives Daytona two tone watch its truly beautiful the luster on the watch gives an impression of the exquisite finish and craftsmanship.
Thoroughly enjoying the watch. I like the finishing & the regulation on the movement thus it's accuracy is above my expectations. The is is average though.
I'm very happy with the watch and thank you dream watches for getting this to me.
Always wanted to add this Tourbillon complication to collection.Can recommend it!
Excellent complication available at an attractive price point!
I have always been fascinated by Tourbillon complications. This special timepiece has an exquisite dial (much better to look at in person!), than pictures and comes with a complete functional Tourbillon.
The service is excellent as always!
Itβs is the best among the watches which claimed to be mechanical. I enjoy wearing the Seiko movement with unmatched designing of this watch.
From 1965 to 1968, Seiko produced its very first dive watches. At that point, saturation diving (divers working at depths for extended periods), was an upcoming new concept. It necessitated dive watch design to be altered to prevent crystals from popping off when the watches filled with helium.
In 1975 Seiko produced an enormous 51mm dive watch with a protective shroud, 600m depth-rated, the first Seiko Tuna (ref. 6159-7010), as the result of more than 20 patents and world's firsts with ground-breaking features, to become industry-standard.
The ceramic shroud around the case, secured with three rivets offered extra protection to the bezel, particularly during deep-sea diving, prevented accidental impacts or jostling that could disrupt its crucial timing function underwater under extreme conditions. This shroud also gave the watch its nickname βTunaβ due to its resemblance to a can of tuna encasing the watch case.
Seiko Tunas have since come a long way featuring a variety of high-end calibres in automatic, quartz and solar movements. The case sizes have shrunk from 51mm to 43.2mm.
The Steeldive homageβs overall dimensions and appearance (dial, indices, bezel font and pointers), primarily pay homage to the Seiko 7549-7010 Tuna Can, a.k.a. Baby Tuna, with a rated water resistance of 300m. The text on dial at 6 o'clock, is inspired by Seiko Prospex SBBN031's three-line nomenclature ('MARINEMASTER' 'PROFESSIONAL' '300m'), here 'MARINEENGINEER' 'AUTOMATIC' '300m' instead. I believe this watch is depth tested at Steeldiveβs lab for the claimed water resistance depth.
While the original featured a Seiko 5-jewel, 7549-calibre quartz movement, a day/date window at 3 o'clock, tritium pointers, a bi-directional bezel, aluminium protective shroud and mineral crystal, the first homage (SD1975) is powered by Seiko's NH35 automatic movement featuring a date window (no day) at 3 o'clock, a 120-click unidirectional ceramic bezel, 316L stainless steel protective shroud and a sapphire crystal with AR coating. Case dimensions vary marginally by 0.5 to 1mm. Both watches feature a 22mm lug width and a slightly domed crystal.
The SD1975V varies from its sibling - date window at 4 o'clock (like the Seiko Prospex Solar Tuna Stainless Steel Diver SNE497P1), BGW9 blue lume (bezel graduation 21 to 59 minutes), Swiss C3 green (indices, pointers), and graduation from 0 to 20 minutes on the bezel with Swiss orange super luminous.
The screw-down crown and case back both with polished and brushed surfaces, bear the Steeldive logo - the case back announces the watch's chief characteristics around its etched logo.
Despite the 47mm dia. case, lug-to-lug measures just 44.5mm with recessed, downward lugs from the case appearing as tiny bumps beyond the shroud on its return sweeps. So those conspicuous gaps between your wrist and the watch case at the lugs are avoided.
The watch case is polished but the shroud is brushed. The bezel coin edge has brushing on the outer surfaces while the inners are polished. The ceramic insert of the SD1975V offers a distinct sportiness with dual-colour graduation.
The Tuna Can design shroud checks the movement of the bezel to small advancements in true design form. Bezel action is firm without back-play and perfectly aligns with the chapter ring.
The engineer-style, 5-link, solid, brushed finish bracelet with polished edges, is something to behold! The multi-links ply very well so the strap closely follows the contour of the wearer's wrist. It does not taper but boldly road-rolls its 22mm track all the way, complimenting the strength and durability that the case and shroud abundantly exude. The signed clasp is milled but the clasp lock could have been of a thicker gauge. The clasp has six micro-adjust points, ensuring fine adjustment to your wrist size, a must in the circumstances. The lugs are drilled and slots are provided at the spring-bars for easy accessibility.
With a NATO strap to match the dial, indices and bezel, my SD1975V is a beauty from the depths of the ocean with whom I am ready to take that deep dive!
The Steeldive homage checks all the boxes in my book - strong fundamentals (SS316L case/shroud & Seiko NH35 automatic), applied indices with long-lasting lume, finely finished pointers, a legible date window with lume surround, a precisely printed dial, firm bezel and a screw-down crown with smooth operation.
The watch dimensions (diameter 47mm, height - 14.4mm) and weight - 215 gms., make it impractical for daily wear. However, the 'Tuna' is an absolutely essential collectible, the design an integral part of dive watch history kept alive for half a century, and immortalized by homages from many micro-brands as also Seiko's Alba!

Customer Reviews
Bell & Ross (B&R) is a French luxury watch manufacturer producing watches in Switzerland.
Beginning with the BR-01 in 2005, the company began producing square watches meant to resemble instruments found in 20th century aircraft cockpits. These square-cased BR models became its most well-known design.
The Bell & Ross BR 05 integrated bracelet was introduced in 2019 with the chronograph version in 2020. This model represents a combination of design attributes from several of its existing collections:
- the rounded-corner case shape of the BR01 collection,
- the round dial and a square frame,
- the signature Arabic numerals,
- the four securing screws on the front of the watch,
- crown guards.
New design features include:
- extensions of the case flowing into the first center link of an integrated bracelet.
The BR 05 is gently steered away from its aviation tool-watch predecessors and designed to reach a wider audience, and appeal to a broader taste.
When I first saw the Specht & Sohne (S&S) SP0004 homage, I was drawn to it by the degree of reproduction. It was incredulous to note that initially this watch had a TMI VD53 movement. The VD53 requires two chronograph sub-dials as the central seconds pointer is for running seconds. To keep the visual reproduction accurate, S&S blanked out the crucial chrono seconds sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position, leaving only chrono minutes sub-dial at the 9 o'clock position. So when one started the chronograph, 'nothing' seemed to happen until minutes went by, literally!
However, PD then sensibly changed that to the VK63 movement wherein the central seconds pointer is now for chrono seconds and the sub-dial at the 9 o'clock position records chrono minutes. The sub-dial at the 3 o'clock position continues to be a 24-hour indicator. One can live with a watch without a running seconds pointer but never without one for its chrono seconds!
The SP0004 case width matches B&R's chronograph model at 42mm. With a lug-to-lug size of 50mm, and thickness of 12.8mm, this is quite a big boy watch! However, thanks to the revised design of the B&R BR 05, this watch favours being a style statement, rather than a utilitarian one.
The case and bezel are brush-finished with only the edge of the bezel and four securing screws polished. The flat sapphire crystal retains the 20th century flight instrument appearance.
The dial has been reproduced very well with a sunburst finish, two sunken sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock with colour differentiating borders mirroring the shape of the bezel - square with rounded corners. The rounded date window located between the 4 & 5 o'clock hour markers is also exactly reproduced, albeit for its standard black & white date dial, unlike the B&R which has a colour-coded background to match the dial, and the date in white. Hour markers are applied and so are the with Arabic numerals at 12 & 6 o'clock. The minute track is printed with the seconds count printed on the chapter ring at each hour marker. Hour & minute pointers and hour markers are lumed.
The rear case cover bearing the manufacturer's logo and key attributes of the watch, is secured with four screws, all brush-finished.
Following my preference of leather/silicon straps over stainless steel bracelets, I chose this model, once again for the dial-matched, colour-coded belt that lends greater colour continuity to this timepiece and a flowing form around the wrist.
The integrated belt is secured to the case with screws rather than spring-pins. The signed, single arm fold-over clasp is also brush-finished and released by two pushers.
So if you would like to have a Bell & Ross BR 05 homage on your wrist, there is no better option than the Specht & Sohne SP0004 homage.
I am pleased with the sales and post-sales service offered by Dream Watches, which over my various purchases, has always been very prompt and dependable.
