Seiko Prospex \'Arnie\' Predator Solar \'Tuna\' Men\'s Watch SNJ025P1 Background: This Seiko Prospex Arnie Predator Solar SNJ025P1 was used in the classic 80’s films, Commando & Predator. It was the bodybuilder come actor Arnold Schwarznegger who donned the watches in the films, hence the nickname ‘Arnie’. As of 2019, he is the most recent Republican governor of California. The Case: Despite measuring in at 48mm wide and having an unmistakable wrist presence, this Seiko Prospex Arnie Predator Solar SNJ025P1 sits comfortably on the wrist. It does bare much resemblance to the Seiko Tuna, as it brandishes a similar stainless steel knurled bezel, which allows the uni-directional bezel to be easily turned. Also present on the dial is a lume pip at the 12 o’clock mark to increase legibility. Also similar to the original Tuna model is to the green metal shroud that protects the case. This bestows the watch with a tank like appearance, as well as the feeling that it would be able to take on some military-grade impact as well. Flashes of vibrant red are instilled through the pushers that are present on the left side of the watch. Likewise a screw down crown sits neatly besides the 3 o’clock mark. The Dial: The watches were one of the first analog-digital dive watches with a digital LCD display seen right at the top of the dial. The digi-analog lay out is neat and effective. The digital time is displayed at the top of the dial. Whilst the remains space of the dial is used to display the analog time. It consists of lume coated indices that are very subtly engorged that adds a nice level of texture to the dial. Similarly, the polished silver hands add to the legibility of the watch. Much depth is provided through the two step rehaut design, which makes the dial of the watch appear as if it sitting way beneath the hardlex crystal glass that protects it. The Strap: The strap is made from reinforced silicon bands that are able to withstand harsh operating environments. Also, the understated black strap has a ribbed design, which is a subtle reminder of the watch’s background. Seiko’s attention detail is present in the form of the wave design that is embossed on the strap. It fastens using a standard buckle. Functions: This timepiece is equipped with Seiko’s famous Solar H851 movement which has a colossal six month power reserve when fully charged. The fact that it is a solar movement means that the accuracy for the watch is only +- 15 seconds per month, worlds apart compared to the standard accuracy of an automatic movement being +-15 seconds per day. The digital screen offers a handful of additional functions including a calendar, second time zone, chronograph and alarm which can be accessed through using the two buttons on the left hand side of the case. Additionally, the LCD display has a backlight to allow for easy visibility at night. The dial itself has a grey-purple colour to it under very bright light. Complete with a dive bezel, the SNJ025 offers more than enough water resistance for diving, providing you screw down the crown and the pushers. The 2 function buttons/crowns at 8 and 11 position on this watch need to unscrew to make them work, however, on this model they unscrew clockwise which is the opposite way to a standard watch.   This watch has a water resistance of 200 metres, making it suitable for diving.

The Brand: Seiko Ceaseless determination to innovate in every aspect of the watchmaker’s art is what defines Seiko’s 135-year history. By embracing this ethos, Seiko has been responsible for a string of industry-leading advances in the technology of time. Notably, the creation of the world’s first quartz watch in 1969. Or equally impressive the creation of the world’s first TV watch in 1982. And even more relevant today, with our abhorrent use of non-renewable energy sources, Seiko’s Kinetic. The listed technological developments serve as evidence to illustrate the revolutionary impact which Seiko has had on the watchmaking world. They are also remarkably unique in that they manufacture every aspect of every watch in-house. If you have any questions please  click here Click here to join our  facebook  and  Instagram !
