Buy/Sell Recommendation: Seiko Prospex Landmaster Spring Drive SBDB005 - BUY

I did a review on the Seiko Prospex Landmaster Spring Drive SBDB005 back in October 2013. To read the full review, please click here: http://easternwatch.blogspot.com/2013/10/seiko-landmaster-spring-drive-sbdb005.html.

Below is a video of the watch on my wrist. After considering the positives and negatives of the watch, I recommend that this watch is a BUY.





Below are some of the aspects of the watch that made me recommend the way I did.

Positive TakeawaysNegative Points
  1. Super accurate Spring Drive technology
  2. Unicorn crown design
  3. GMT Function 
  4. Power Reserve Indicator
  5. Titanium casing
  6. Finishing 
  1. Expensive
  2. Lack of a quick-adjust date function
The SBDB005 is no longer in production. Instead, the latest SBDB015 has better illumination with parts machined with better tolerances. The SBDB015 looks very similar to the SBDB005.


Final Thoughts

Overall, despite the lack of a quick-adjust date function, this watch is superb. The quality of engineering and construction is precise and excellent. I appreciate the power reserve indicator. I wish all automatic watch makers should considering putting it as standard function on their watches.
