Surprise, we have a special episode discussing quite possibly one of my favorite watches of all time. Look, if you’re new here, I’m a SeikoBoi, a Seiko Fan (and btw you can be too!) I have been collecting and obsessing over Seikos forever. It’s how I got into watches – and the golden goose, the holy grail; whatever expression you want is the Seiko 62MAS or what many people know as the classic Seiko diver. 

Seiko recently launched a new version of the 62mas which is almost an identical re-issue of the classic 6217, the SJE093.

Naturally, I enlisted the help of Rob Caplan and Zachary Piña from Topper to help me understand this watch, unpack its origins, and learn more about why this little dive watch has every collector going nuts.
