Deep Blue Alpha Marine 500: Still Embarrassing Seiko (Patreon)
Content
Here's my take on Deep Blue's incredibly cool and new Alpha Marine 500 dive watch. Building on the long term popularity and success of the Master 1000 watch, the Alpha pushes the coolness envelope even further. Bold markings, fully lumed faces (wow, take a look), ceramic bezels, sapphire crystals, great hands, and 500 meter water resistance. The Alpha Marine 500 is powered by a Miyota 9015 Movement, 28,800 VPH 24 jewels, 42 hour power reserve, and an applied Parashock system inside.
When I reviewed this watch, every single color looked good to me..you just can't go wrong. Interchange the excellent Deep Blue straps or your own for more color possibilities. The SS rice beads, engineer, oyster, and jubilee bracelets are discussed. I encouraged and got DB to offer these in silicone straps to save you money...see inside.
Again we see Deep Blue in their style, sizing, hands execution, case treatments, and value frequently embarrass Seiko. They just do. And when purchased smartly the value also dominates many of the Seiko divers as well. Yep, they're some of my fave watches, great job Deep Blue.
Note: these watches were purchased or borrowed for this review, not given to me by Deep Blue. They also offered up this discount code to my audience because you guys bought a lot off my last review.
