Although they may not be the most luxurious, Seiko watches are loved by collectors both at the entry level and by the most discerning collector with a cult-like following. There is a specific sense of satisfaction that comes from wearing a Seiko– you become a part of a long lineage of excellent watchmaking and extreme attention to detail in a resilient fashion across the range of Seiko timepieces.

Of course, among the many amazing watches this brand has released over the years, there are several legendary dive watches among the fold, including Seiko’s original professional diver, the 62MAS. And while that was the one that really started it all, few are as captivating as those that bear the "turtle" style case. It started with the 6105, which was the first Seiko diver to use an asymmetrical case and integrated crown guards. But that case was just too good to retire, so it continued on even as movements and references changed. That's where this fantastic 7002-700J comes in. Featuring the same iconic case style, this JDM-only piece goes big with its faded "Pepsi" bezel and oversized hands, making it a truly remarkable watch to behold and wear. 

SPECS

CASE & BRACELET

The asymmetrical case is in wonderful condition, showing honest signs of use. The original "Pepsi" bezel has faded remarkably and shows some wear but retains its luminous pearl at 12 o'clock. The watch comes on a 2pc tropic rubber strap.

DIAL & HANDS

The exceptional matte black dial is well-preserved with some signs of aging. The lume plots have achieved a greyish patina and exhibit no degradation under UV light inspection. The original hands match the dial perfectly, with the hour hand slightly darker than the others, and exhibit no degradation under UV light inspection.

ACCESSORIES 

None. The watch is running and functioning correctly, though the service history is unknown. A movement service can be purchased upon request.
