If you're a Seiko fan, then you've probably heard of the Seiko Orange Monster. It's a must-have for all Seiko collectors. And if you're a real Seiko diver fanatic, you might even have the Seiko Yellow or Black Monsters, as well. But now, there's a new monster to add to your collect: the Seiko Blue Monster.
The Seiko Blue Monster (Ref. SKZ213K1) is a beautiful, limited edition piece. Features include:
- Thick, brushed stainless steel case.
- Domed sapphire crystal.
- Uni-directional rotating bezel.
- Screw-down caseback.
- Water-resistant to 200 meters, or about 650 feet.
- Screw-down crown (at the four o'clock position).
- Luminescent hands and hour markers.
- Automatic movement (23 jewels).
- Double folding safety clasp with diver's extension (to fit over a wet suit).
I have the Orange Monster myself, and it's a great watch with a very robust feel. They have a reputation for being high-quality automatic watches sold at a reasonable price, and for having unusually bright luminescent hands and hour markers. Seiko uses a material called Lumibrite which is very effective, especially on hands as wide as those found on the monster series.
