Mini Review: Seafighter

by Jaimie on July 30, 2008

So after a day of wearing the watch I thought I would post some thoughts.
Seafighter

1st Impression
The watch feels very solid and has a super clean look to it. When I ordered this watch I wanted to try the UCN look with all the trimmings. I also wanted a day/date watch as I like that on the OM. I thought that the way the logo and day/date are on this dial was a nice clean look. The one thing that does take some time to get used to is the lack of text below 12 o’clock (this is the same with the c3).

Weight:
This is not a small watch but is not huge either. I find that it is like the OM in weight (have not weighed it yet).

Case & Bezel:
This is the first polished case I have had and at first it was a little to bling for me. But after sometime it grew on me and helps make this watch stand out from the rest. The bezel is like a safe tumbler with solid clicks and little play.

Dial & Lume:
This watch is easy to read a glance and is not cluttered up at all. I particularly like the way the hands have the black base and all line up when they pass each other.

The lume on this watch is not a bright as my others but then I have some of the brightest watches (OM, SAR, MM, Blackwater). The main reason is that the markers are not that large and the hands are narrow so it is not a fault of the lume but more the dial and hands that I picked. The other thing that was weird for me is that the second hand does not have lume on it (all my others do) so this made the watch look different when I did the first lume check. I did a test with the Blackwater last night beside it and while not as bright it kept the lume all night.

Strap:
The rubber strap that comes with the watch is nice and soft (with no vanilla smell) and has a nice mkki clasp.

Pros:
-Clean Design
-Unique Look
-Great Bezel

Cons:
-Still in lust so none yet :)

Here it is with the SAR and Blackwater. While it looks the same as the BW in the pic it is a much bigger and heavier watch.
