Seiko Prospex SNJ035P Solar PADI 'Arnie Tuna' $529 Delivered @ Starbuy

100

Thanks to Watchnerd for the heads-up on this one. The ever-popular Arnie Tuna is the Deal of The Day at Starbuy, for what looks like the lowest price seen on OzB. Remember, the Friday deal usually goes through until Monday morning, so you've got the whole weekend to convince yourself to buy one.

Copy/paste from Starbuy's web site:

The Seiko Prospex Arnie PADI SNJ035P1 features the Seiko hybrid H855 solar power movement. The case is stainless steel with hardlex glass and a matching Black silicone strap. The case size is 46.9mm x 14.2mm with a lug width of 22mm. The SNJ035 has a 200m water resistance rating with a screw case back, a screw lock crown and a uni-directional rotating bezel. Additional features include a power save function, a daily alarm, an automated calendar till December 31 year 2100, LED and a power save function.

The new calibre H855 has been upgraded with improved visibility for diving, with a larger display at the 6 O’Clock position. It also features diving log, depth metre and temperature measuring functions.

This diver’s watch is a modern re-interpretation of the Seiko “Hybrid diver’s,” a world-first originally released in 1982 as a hybrid combination of analogue and digital watch technology. This model is also known as the ‘Arnie’ after the actor who wore it in the film ‘Commando’ and its watch shape is nicknamed by Seiko fans as a ‘Tuna’ – because of its larger diameter and bold shape like a tuna tin. This particular design is a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the world’s first hybrid diver’s watch with alarm chronograph. The original watch proved its reliability in extreme environments including the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition in 1984 and the Joint Mount Everest Challenge made by the Japanese, Chinese and Nepalese team in 1988.

      One of the Citizen Aqualands is what you want.

    • this model the 035 has the depth gauge and log when you read Seiko web site, starbuy doesn’t mention the depth gauge though. The aqualand arent solar so need battery changes.
