| By Frank Geelen | 1 min read |

Seeing the beautiful photo below was enough reason to write about the Seiko Titanium Samurai. A beast of a dive watch of from the PROSPEX range and is only available as JDM – Japan Domestic Model. 

The JDM are popular among dive watch enthusiasts and so is this Seiko PROSPEX Automatic 200M SBDA001, also referred to as the Titanium Samurai. The PROSPEX collection has more very collectible Seiko dive watches, like the Seiko SBDC001 “Sumo” and the Seiko SBDX001 Marinemaster.

  1. One of a kind Seiko diver. The current S/S rendition of the Samurai doesn’t come even close. Have both but wear my SBDA001 most of the time. It’s also smaller than the new S/S edition.

  2. How much smaller is the original Ti version vs the SS one please? Mostly interested in the lug to lug
    Thanks
