The Seiko Navigator Timer FINALLY Returns And It's Shockingly (And Surprisingly) Good (SPB411)

2023 has once again been the year of the GMT with the release of the Longines Spirit Zulu Time in the much anticipated 39mm size, the all new Longines HydroConquest GMT, and my favorite Seiko Marine Master 200 GMT SPB383. I have loved GMT watches for years after owning the likes of the Rolex Explorer II, Tudor Black Bay GMT, Tudor Black Bay Pro, Grand Seiko SBGM221, Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT Sherbet, and more.

But back in 2019, I saw a vintage Seiko Navigator Timer for the first time and I fell in love with it and nearly bought one shortly afterwards. I absolutely loved the case, overall experience, and of course the gray dial immensely so imagine my excitement when I heard that Seiko brought back the Navigator Timer with the SPB411. I knew I had to get one. And now I have one.

In this video I’m going to get into the details, all the dimensions, how the new Navigator Timer  wears on the wrist, the dial, the case, the movement, and more now that I’ve been wearing the watch for the past few days. (It’s pretty fantastic).
