I own this same watch purchased from Wempe in NY. I simply adore this piece simply because it's a true unique design and extremely well made. I tried on the bigger brother but it wears to big even on my 7 inch wrist, it wasn't huge at all it's that it's tall at 15.5mm. I find that the 39.5mm version is the sweet spot for me.

39.5mm is a large watch. The 5 digit Subs we’re about that size. I believe the original Subs were more like 38mm.

That truly domed sapphire crystal gives off an acrylic type distortion look, especially at oblique angles. I need to see this in person.

The plug for the B&J Straps is rapidly becoming my favourite part of the review!! Another great video!! :o)

Your color grading is on point here mate! I have this one in & you perfectly captured this piece.

Just bought the SeaQ on a bracelet. Absolutely amazing watch! AD had both black and green dial versions in stock. Both beautiful, but I had to go with the black as it will be my daily wearer. I agree, it could have more power reserve.

Got mine at the AD in Blue with a fully brushed bracelet but I wear it on a rubber strap. Finishing is a level above my GMT Master 2. Nothing beats an in-house movement compared to the lack luster quality controls in current ETA movements. Keeps better time in all six positions versus the Master 2. Daily wear for me so no need to wind, ever. Best, not an attention grabber at a distance but up close it is a scene stealer compared directly to a Rolex.

I had the same thoughts when I first tried both models in September. And then bought the Panorama Date with the blue dial.

I like it 🙂 and I’ve been to Glasshütte and while there I visited the museum. This visit has helped me to appreciate this company and the others that are there.

Beautiful....completely agree about the case back , but it’s a watch I’d love to own . Excellent video

The segue into the B&J shop advert is brilliant.

Great video Adrian, really glad you covered this watch, I really like the look, what's your on this v the Omega Seamster 300 1957 Edition?

I love this style of case. I have the 62mas reissue and it reminds me a lot of it.

Superb looking watch, but knowing the finishing that Glashutte Original are capable of, it needs a display back. Another great video Adrian 😀👍🏼😎

It’s a great timepiece as I acquired this watch a few wks ago. Great addition to my Rolex collection. Only drawback is the power reserve...should be better for the money. Fit & finish is phenomenal however & no regrets

I own both the Oris 65 2017 in all steel including the bracelet and the Glashutte sea q . Totally different watches from top to bottom. From unscrewing the crown and hacking to setting the time and winding, the GO is amazing. The Oris 65 is a nice watch, especially the 2017 with that translucent dark blue edge on the dial it’s gorgeous indeed. The Sellita SW200-2 on the Oris is okay, the Soprad A10 smokes it escially when winding. I had plenty of time to return my GO back to Wempe and I just could not do it. Amazing watch. I put the GO with my recent JLC Polaris Marine Date. Well, close.

I appreciate the sincere review. I agree with you. That watch would be interesting at less than half the price

I agree that an open case back would help justify the price on this one and the new 39.5mm model with the blue dial and applied numeral (and no fauxtina), which I prefer. In fact, I will likely get that blue dial variant when it’s available on the secondary market for a more reasonable price.

This looks like Glashutte inspired by what Oris doing with the Divers 65 heritage version

My money would go to the Oris tbh, your'e getting a rather functional watch (it has an ISO certification which many people don't know) and it has a movement that is easily serviceable. Of course the biggest thing, as Adrian mentioned in the beginning, is the look of the watch: the 12,3,6,9 with the dimensions of a vintage rolex sub on one of the best interpretations of a rivet oyster style bracelet is really hard to compete with. At the end of the day, you just have to go your own way ;)

Lucky to see the green in person and was extremely impressed. Wish they'd make a black dial version with the applied numbers and BGW9..the 42mm is just too big for me :( This is real luxury dive watch at its best.

Completely agree with your assessment. Problem is for that kind of money you could get a Blancpain fifty fathoms......there’s a lot of competition in that price bracket

I can’t help but think of how much more balanced this dual would look without the date. The white date wheel clashes with the faux patina, IMO. Otherwise, I love everything about it. There are plenty of watches though I’d buy before it at that price point.

I completely agree with you, Adrian. If I had this amount of cash, I would go for the Panorama Date.

Great review, as always, Adrian! What are your thoughts on “horological smartwatches” like the ones Frederique Constant have?

I like it. An honest tool watch with solid content. But you're right, if faced between this and the earlier seaQ, I'd go for the admittedly more expensive version. The display back, strap and aesthetics make it better. Love both tho.

The SeaQ is an incredibly beautiful watch

I love this watch so much, and I'd snap it up were it in my price range, but I do agree with the grievances you put forth

I don't quite understand why everybody keeps comparing this watch to a Rolex Submariner when the obvious point of comparison should be a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Also, a dive watch does not need a display back. It's another potential weak point which could compromise the water resistance. Fair point on the 40 hours power reserve, though. I prefer the blue version, as I can do without the fake patina.

Old review but just picked up this watch with the blue dial on the bracelet. Everyone talks about the power reserve but it is about the same as a PP 5711 or 5167 (35-45 hrs) that cost substantially more. I'd love to have a longer power reserve but isn't a deal breaker for me.

Finally you are moving into endgame divers. Now the Blancpain and the GS diver, there is nothing I know about after these two.

Great review Adrian! Wearing a Seiko SBP145 (blackbrownish dial) and had a coffee while watching your video. Surely, amazing engineering, nevertheless the price (and looks) does not make it attractive. Great video content as always! 👍

Thanks for the video, nice watch , but do they have a GMT and ISO rated, thanks

I love the rubber strap and solid case back.

With a longer power reserve and an open case back to see the exquisite movement definitely worth every penny of it! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Does the regulator only regulate the beat of the balance on this watch?

The size is perfect. If only it comes with 100 hour power reserve & exhibition case back like the SeaQ Panorama Date, I would have gotten this instead.

Great Video, Adrian. Thanks. I totally agree. This is a nice watch, with a very good finish at all. But what is the unique selling proposition? I would prefer, as you said, the BB 58. Half price, better bracelet and outstanding on the wrist.

I agree, this watch needs a sapphire caseback. With higher horology the movement is the star and we need to see it. In general, I like GO watches and am happy you’re reviewing them. Would be nice to have a review of the Glacier Blue Sixties. Also, a video about the good, the bad, and the ugly bracelets.

Good video, good analysis !!

In my opinion this watch is just stunning one of my favourite dive watches

Put everything aside, I really like the watch.

This reminded me of the seiko 62 mas the case and the strap. My question is whether the price of the seaq really worth it when 62mas is like 3 times cheaper and 62mas is also an original iconic watch

With white lume and no pcl it would be a goer. Love the style and size. The clasp is exceptional.

Another great video brother! Love your strap on this bad boy!

I prefer the blue-dialled version, same size, scheduled to be released later this year. And unlike the similarly priced Submariner, I'm guessing these will be readily available at ADs. Having said that, it's still way out of my budget. So I reckon I'll have to console myself with the Tudor BB58 blue as a more affordable alternative 😟😟😟

I’m deciding between those two but with the black dials

They are wonderful, super accurate, watches. The new gold ones have the open case back, which hopefully will move across the line of the 39s (it is a beautiful movement). Even at retail they are more watch for the money than the Submariner (which I still love, but it just isn’t the same league). And you can usually get one for less than full retail. As for power reserve, 40 has been fine, rarely is 70 hrs any better for me (maybe for just a two watch rotation, but for either I put them on a winder). They should at the least offer an open case-back you could switch in like Blancpain used to do with the Leman.

It needs exposition case back with the bracelet and the rubber bracelet thrown in that would be a nice package at this price !!

The design of the case and the bezel reminds me of the Seiko SPB051J1. Obviously, the dial and the caseback are very different however.

Great watch but I'm with you, the Panorama is lots more watch for the money. The display back, the large date window with the separate numerals and the gorgeous dial all add up to far more than the extra cost. Luckily I have a 7cm wrist that it doesn't look too big on, now I just need the cash :/

About power reserves - it's a fun stat, but never seems useful, because I change watches too often. Even give a watch a 100hr power reserve and it'll likely not be running when I pick it up again. I guess it's nice if you have an everyday watch you wear to work, and wear whatever else over the weekend, so you can put the work watch down Friday evening and it'll still be set when you pick it up Monday morning.

Power reserve should be 70 hours. I don't mind the closed case back. The trident is quite striking.

I want to like it as i respect GO the watchmaker, but I find the numerals to be cartoonishly large on the SeaQ - but less so on the SeaQ Panorama Date. And I agree, for that money there are so many choices...and one has to be a dedicated GO enthusiast to choose the SeaQ/SeaQ PD over other exceptional watches at that price point.

It is interesting how the size specifications are so close to the Black Bay 58.

When you think GO you usually associate them with dress watches so those looking for dive watches would probably look elsewhere. Also I think you get alot more value in a Panoreserve with only a slight increase in price.

The preference toward display case backs, especially those with beautifully finished movements, is a very new trend and I don't think it should be a requirement to justify a high price tag. This model is a freaking home run. I just wish the lume color was white.
