Homely, but steadfast
Calling this charmer of a watch by its official name (Seiko Prospex Land ‘Navigator Timer’ Mechanical GMT Limited Edition SPB411J1) is quite a mouthful, so the other day a good friend of mine christened it much more succinctly as “homely.”
I had a good laugh at that, as I couldn’t have agreed with him more, but the piece has been what perhaps homely does best -- reliable, simple, unobtrusive.
Turns out pleasingly accurate, too. The 72-hour power reserve Caliber 6R54 inside has been ticking along at +1 sec/day.
The GMT and date functions are adjusted by turning the crown either clockwise or counterclockwise.

Charming
Is it a screw down crown? I suspect not, just curious as I still don't have a gmt.
Thanks Arronax
No, no screw down crown but still a reasonable 10 bar W.R. The watch's bezel and case profile kind of reminds of your cool Doxa !
A fabulous piece 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
And like you say, a watch reminding us of different times - in a good way! Maybe I do need to visit the local Seiko dealer after all 🤞🏻
Much appreciated, KMII 🙏😀
Different times indeed -- this model's design is from Seiko's archives and is a dead ringer for Seiko's first GMT with rotating bezel that was introduced in 1968.
I unsuccessfully bid on three Seiko classics from that era over the past days…
Two Olympic chronographs and a world timer. Lost all three 🤷🏻♂️ And luckily this is a well executed one - some of their reimagining of the past has been hit and miss lately 🤷🏻♂️
Good luck hunting !
I'm not very familiar with vintage Seikos, but this Worldtimer does look quite nice image from the web ...
Was a slightly different case but yes, this type 👍🏻
The only Seiko Nico would consider 😂👍🏻
