Why We Like It We are extremely partial to titanium watches and this original Seiko Samurai is a great example. Not only do we love the look of titanium, but we also love it's strength and lightness. This was also the watch that kicked off the successful line of Samurai watches from Seiko in the early 2000s. It's a true classic Seiko diver's watch.
Notes We no longer have the box or card from this Seiko Samurai. It lived in our safe for a few decades until we recently discovered it. The original rubber strap snapped while in a watch box in our safe. We will include it, but we replaced the strap with a brand new black rubber Seiko Prospex strap that has never been worn. The watch has mostly minor scratches from wear, but does also have a scrape on the side (seen in picture 10). We can have polished if you would like.
