·Collector's Guide To All the Different Seiko Marine Masters Diver Models & Vari
Authored by Isthmus
Most Seiko collectors are familiar with the SBDX001 Marine Master. What many might not know is that not only was that model not the first Marine Master, but that Seiko has multiple models with that designation. For example, all the modern tuna Cans (from the 300m one and up are labeled Marine master).
The following is a list of all the different seiko models that are branded as Marine Masters (either on the dial, the hang tag and/or on the caseback):
- SBDX001 (THE Marine Master):
[b]- SBDX003

- SBDB001 600m Spring Drive

- SBCN005 Transocean (The first Marine Master)

Basically most of the prospex Divers are Marine Masters. Generally speaking its a safe assumption to say that if it's depth rating is higher than 200m (with the exception of the Kinetic GS SBDB001 and the SBDK001 dive computer) [u]and they are in the Prospex range[/u], they are likely to be labeled Marine Masters. A very small handful of models say it on the dial, another small handful say it on the caseback, but most say it on the hang-tag that comes with the watch.
