Un peu de culture en ce mardi, selon le site des montres Seiko, leur publicité télévisé serait la toute première à avoir vue le jour en 1953.

Interressent non !

I’ll admit I’m a watchie.  I get the watchie genome from my Dad, and only discovered this mechanized-kronos addiction in the middle-aging of my life.  Dear old Dad, you see, kept showing up in retirement visits, wrist-clad with different timepieces – chronometers, hoitey-toitey dress watches, dive watches, sport watches – and they appealed to me…

One day I found this thing called ebay, and I might have well been a drunk living next door to a tavern, because over a few years I built a timepiece collection (true watchies would never call it a watch collection) of some 11 watches – err, timepieces.  It started with a basic Seiko design – the Seiko 5 (also recommended as a great, inexpensive, all-round beater watch) – and soon carried over to others in the Seiko brand, most notably the vaunted “monster” – a dive version of the Seiko 5 on steroids…

At first I wasn’t sure what to make of this diver watch.  I don’t scuba and I don’t snorkel, so why would I purchase such a mass of ticking steel? I tried to ignore it, but the watch grew on me.  I took a liking to its bullet-proof looks.  Could it be, I wondered, the “uber” fly fishing watch, if there were ever such a thing?  Eventually, I broke down and bought the orange monster, and after giving it a thorough field test for the past year, I contend this is a great fly fishing watch. Follow with me to find out why…

All monsters  feature, first and foremost, a screw-down crown for deep dive water-resistance – in this case good for 200 meters.  While it’s doubtful you’ll ever truly need 200 meters of water resistance while fishing (you could wear it scuba diving at the bottom of Seneca Lake – the deepest of the Finger Lakes at 600+ feet – looking for that Orvis Helios you dropped overboard), it is a nice feature that assures a huge margin of safety for any type of immersion that might be encountered – streamside or surfside.

Here fishie, fishie, fishie...

In addition to water-tightness, the heart of the monster beats to the tune of the legendary Seiko automatic 7S26 movement.  For the watchie newbies out there, an automatic movement never needs winding as long as the watch is worn.  Movement of the wrist causes the cams in the watch to move and in effect, wind the watch.  The 7S26 boasts a power reserve of over 42 hours, meaning the watch can continue to function without motion for just shy of 2 days. Some automatic movements offer features referred to as hand-winding, meaning the watch can also be mechanically wound (i.e., you can wind it by hand every day, never wind it, and the watch still ticks away).  Some also off a “hacking’ feature, meaning that pulling the crown outward stops the movement for time synchronization.  The monster offers neither of these, but then again, these features come at a serious price adder.

Deep in the monster’s steel-encased chest cavity, the 7S26 ticks away at a relatively slow 21,600 bph (beats per hour), a pulse that won’t get you the precision of the Omega on the hoitey-toitey Orvis and Hardy flyguy upstream of you, but one that is surprisingly accurate for its price; from +8 – +12 seconds a week to under +5 seconds a week after break-in, according to some reports I’ve read.  Some inaccuracy is very desirable for a fly fishing watch when you think about it, i.e., “gee honey, I couldn’t have been late for the opera – my watch said it was 9 pm, the time we agreed I’d leave the river”).

Where you really want this watch to shine is in its ability to withstand abuse, and it’s in this department that the monster really roars.  The 7S26 automatic uses Seiko’s patented Diashock shock protection which is based on the ingenious use of a soft plastic spacer ring in the movement and a relatively low mass rotor.  In combination with a massive steel case, this provides a great deal of additional shock resistance to the watch.  Bang it up while wading the boulder-studded pocket water of the West Branch of New York’s Ausable River, and you’re assured you won’t be late for happy hour at the local tavern.

The big heart of the monster - the automatic 7S26 movement - get your motor running...

The orange monster face is fishing-cool, and not coincidentally has been tested to show best under water (monsters also exist in black, blue, yellow, and most recently, red).  The monster’s watch case is 41.5 mm across and 12.5 mm thick, adding to its big, visible, and rugged looks.  The three hands and hour markers are filled with Lumibrite…

What you'd see while fishing for those big nocturnal browns...

Other monster features that make it a must-have in your fly fishing arsenal are a Hardlex (mineral) crystal, quickset day and date display, and a uni-directional bezel with minute marks.  My orange monster is equipped with the black ribbed Seiko dive watch band.  Besides its comfort and great looks, I found this band offers less opportunity to scratch that nice fly rod you might be cradling in your arm.

But I’d suggest buying the monster with the standard solid-link brushed stainless steel bracelet that is both incredibly sturdy and heavy enough to balance the hefty watch it holds.  It is a very secure bracelet, featuring a two-button folding case with safety and a wet-suit extension clasp for those who fish and dive.

After taking delivery of your new fly fishing companion, hop on over to one of the many watch stores on the internet and purchase the soft rubber Seiko dive strap.  Change out the watch bands for fishing use, knowing you have a beautiful stainless steel bracelet for formal occasions.

The price of this watch is very affordable at $100 – $150 online.  You’ll find a lot of these watches on ebay auction.  There are other automatic divers out there with similar features, but there’s nothing like having a monster by your side…

Tight lines…

Llevaba tiempo buscando un Seiko cronometro, pero el que mas me gustaba era sin duda el modelo 6138-8020 comúnmente llamado “PANDA” por su dial blanco y los dos subdiales negros que recuerda a los colores de la cara de ese animal…

“Citizen is not the only respected watch brand so today I decided to review a seiko watch. It’s a divers automatic watch and costs about 180$ on amazon so it is much less expensive than the usual citizen diver watches. Of course the qulity is a bit worse but you still get the most for your buck. This one has a stainless steel case and bracelet, black dial, luminous hands and and hour markers and it is water resistent up to 200 meters.”

Seiko Women’s Dress Black Ion Watch #SUJA80 User Review

The prettiest black watch I have ever owned. The finish makes the watch. I receive compliments every where I go. Goes nicely with a suit or in the evening. Scratches a little around the face, but doesn’t show. Maintains its luster. Always looks sharp!

เรื่องมันเริ่มต้นจากที่ว่า
ในแง่ของตัวเรือนนาฬิกา ผมไปติดใจ นาฬิกา IWC Mark XVI เข้า ด้วยความที่การออกแบบของมันลงตัวมาก คิดอยู่หลายตลบแต่ก็ทำใจซื้อไม่ลง เพราะราคามันไม่เป็นมิตรกับกระเป๋าของผมซะเลย

ส่วน เรื่องสายนาฬิกา ในวันหนึ่ง ณ ร้านกาแฟแห่งหนึ่ง สายตาผมดันไปสะดุดเข้ากับ Rolex Submariner บนข้อมือของสุภาพบุรุษท่านหนึ่ง และรู้สึกแปลกตาที่สายของ Submariner เรือนนั้นไม่ใช่สายเหล็ก แต่ทำไมมันถึงได้เข้ากันกับตัวเรือนเป็นปี่เป็นขลุ่ยซะขนาดนั้น

ความ รู้สึกอยากเป็นเจ้าของก็เกิดขึ้น แต่สำนึกเดิมก็คอยมาสะกิดเตือนอยู่ข้างหลังว่า พอเพียงหนอ พอเพียงหนอ ผมข่มความอยากไว้ด้วยความยากเย็น แต่รูปลักษณ์ของตัวเรือนนาฬิกาและสายนาฬิกาแบบนั้นประทับอยู่ในใจผมอย่างยาก ที่จะลบเลือน

ตั้งแต่วันนั้น ผมก็เริ่มรู้แล้วว่า ผมอยากได้นาฬิกาแบบไหนและสายยังไง และที่สำคัญที่สุดคือราคาต้องไม่แพง คุณภาพพอเชื่อถือได้ และบอกเวลาตามหน้าที่ของมันได้อย่างซื่อสัตย์

และนั่นก็เป็นที่มาของนาฬิกาเรือนนี้ พร้อมกับสายแบบนี้ ที่ทำให้ในที่สุด East ก็มา Meet กับ West
ขอบคุณ Seiko Corporation ที่ผลิตรูปลักษณ์ของตัวเรือนที่ถูกใจผมมาก และขอบคุณผู้ผลิตสายนาโต้แนวสุดเท่ที่ผมได้นำมาประกบเข้ากับ Seiko Military เรือนนี้ ขอบคุณที่ได้ช่วยสานความฝันของผมให้เป็นจริงในวันนี้ครับ

เอาล่ะครับ มาชมรูปประกอบเนื้อเรื่องกันดีกว่า

I couldn’t be happier. I got this watch for daily use and it has held up well to the knocking about.
The titanium gives it a nice light feel and satisfies my inner metallurgist.
I especially like the combination day-of-week and day-of-month display and was relieved to find out that they could both be adjusted separately from the time.
While this isn’t a very stylish watch I have worn it with a suit and didn’t feel like a dork with a digital timex — If you are limited to only one watch this is it!

Background:

They are one of the top bands of Japan, and for a great reason. They are in the electropop genre, and were formed in 1978. They are composed of 3 members; Yukihiro Takahashi (drums and vocals) and Ryuichi Sakamoto (keyboards) and Haruomi Hosono (bass). The bass player, Haruomi Hosono (who was in the other influential rock group Happy End before) is widely regarded as the greatest bass player in Japan and as a group, they have been dominating, influencing and defining the electropop genre. He also has produced music for Seiko Matsuda, another leading and top lady singer from Japan, who I also like!!  They are also listed as the 2nd greatest band of all time in Japan, with the top being taken by Southern All stars. I consider this band legendary, and when most of their songs (from what Ive heard) dont have much lyrics its truely amazing theyve taken this kind of place. Also, note that their music is kind of like the ringtones/game music, only it appeared like 30 years ago before they had game music. Theyve been sampled by many artists and they play a lot at concerts. To play such amazing music, without getting anything wrong, is just LEGENDARY.

I also especially like Yukihiro Takahashi, he seems like an incredible drummer!!

According to wikipedia:

• Jennifer Lopez sampled “Firecracker” for her 2001 single I’m Real.
• The 1982 SEGA arcade game “Super Locomotive” uses Rydeen, from the album Solid State Survivor, as a continuous loop soundtrack.

These are some of my favourite, hope you like them too and please leave some comments!
PS: Ive never ever liked all the songs on an album, and I can say I like all of the songs in their debut album Yellow Magic Orchestra!!

Seiko Space Walk watch; definitely sounds like a pointless exercise personally, unless the possible retail version is right price I guess. It has extra large pushers and a super lightweight case.

Why has it got to be so lightweight if he’s going into space? Won’t there be less gravity anyway? Only time will tell if this is just a one off or if they’re going to sell them mainstream.. I would like to no whether you’ll have to be able to afford your own private spacewalk to get one!

This reminds me a rumour I heard the other day; apparently a Seiko was one of the first watches on the moon. One taken by an astronaut on the 1969 moon landing.

Seiko Watches

Some more information on the watch featured in the previous post. This Seiko Diver is a 200M Stainless Steel Black IP Automatic.

The meaning of the “5″ in “Seiko 5″ originates in the 1970s, when Seiko developed the idea of a range called “Seiko 5″ with watches that had to have the following five attributes :

1. Automatic
2. Water resistant
3. Shock resistant
4. Date
5. Day

However, there are some watches labelled as “Seiko 5″ which are in fact missing the “day” function. These faux 5s contain a Calibre 7S25 movement. Additionally, re-issues of SEIKO 5 Sports often use the 7S36 caliber.

Details:
1. 23 jewel Automatic Cal7S36 Seiko movement
2. Black and very dark grey dial with lumibrite hands and markers
3. Black stainless steel case, screw case-back and bracelet, black plastic details
4. Double safety lock three fold clasp with easy push-button release
5. 1/50000 Map meter
6. Bi-directional rotating bezel
7. Water resistant 200m (20 bar)
8. Screw-lock crown
9. Day / Date display at 3 o’clock position
10. 40.5mm; 220g

This is a cool watch and the Tarts are proud to admit that three of them have one.

]]> http://thesydneytarts.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/double-bagel/ Wed, 02 Sep 2009 11:09:00 +0000 thesydneytarts http://thesydneytarts.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/double-bagel/

I haven’t much experience with bagels before last weekend. The most contact I’ve had was with the blueberry bagel from Gloria Jeans which I eat toasted with butter, usually with some sort of latte. I’ve never really understood bagels. I’ve always thought of them as the lesser sexy sister of donuts.

This past weekend, however, all of a sudden we felt like going to the bagel place in Macquarie Centre called “The Great Bagel & Coffee Co”. Not sure why the sudden urge for bagels, since previous visits only consisted of us consuming their very yummy and very curly… erm… curly fries.

Not being quite sure of what to order we each picked from the gourmet bagel board. The pictures did help, of course, and like a certain fast food chain, the depicted bagels all looked impossibly large. I had my doubts and prepared myself for a pre-shrunk version of the images. We of course ordered curly fries to go with our bagels, and were disappointed that they did not offer a meal deal.

I opted for the egg mayo and chicken while A ordered the chicken and pesto. To my surprise the pictures don’t lie (just like hips…).

These bagels were big, chewy and tasty and extremely filling (not sure how much of the filling was down to the fries and the coke). The combinations of the flavours were very well put together. I just don’t understand why they bother giving you a steak knife… and I still don’t get the hole in the bagel. It’s more of a nuisance really as some of the key ingredient chose this very opening as a means of escape and making a mess of my hands. But that didn’t stop me from gobbling down my bagel. And according to the wall (they have a faux-newspaper wallpaper – all bagel related stories) the meal I just had was very healthy and I could lose weight from eating bagels. (Nothing was mentioned regarding the fries or the coke). I could give the subway man a run for his money… (Whatever’s happened to the Subway man anyways??)

Definitely an enjoyable experience, which we were to repeat the next day. Yes. We went back the next day, where A ordered the exact same bagel again and I tried the Thai beef, which was again, completely and utterly delicious. Needless to say we’ll be going back again…

My Watch companion for the 1st visit was a Seiko Diver watch of some sort. This is one of those rare cheap Seikos that is actually made in Japan. Powered by a Seiko 5 automatic movement, and it has a map reading wheelie thingy that you can roll across maps that are 1:50,000 scale and it’ll tell you exactly how many km it is in real life. Or something like that. I don’t really know that much about this watch apart from the fact that it’s huge and chunky, it’s really cool and I got it at a good price, and it’s a cool watch!
