Seiko Tuna dive watches currently available to buy from sellers in the UK, USA and worldwide. Introduced in 1975 all Tuna models incorporate Seiko’s patented gasket system – eliminating the need for a helium escape valve. Prices for vintage models like the QUARTZ Seiko 7549-7000 and 7549-7010 have rocketed lately, expect to pay around £1,300 ($1,500) . The original, and very rare, AUTOMATIC 6159-7010 models in good condition can sell for £4,000 ($5,000)
Of all the Seiko Prospex watches sold today the Tuna is still the first choice for many professional divers. The key to it’s popularity lies in the depth this watch can withstand. The Seiko Tuna range (that’s a nickname – not an official Seiko nomenclature) is a PROFESSIONAL diver’s watch capable of withstanding the pressure from depths of 600m (now 1000m).
It’s a range full of “nicknames” – to list just a few there’s the Darth Tuna (all black), Mini Tuna (correct, it’s a bit smaller) , Emperor Tuna, Yellow Tuna (yellow bezel and accent on hands) all the way back to aptly named original Grandfather Tuna ….
