New MM300

When will those be out? I could do the while one.

I’m guessing August.

New MM300 looks good. Date not ideal. What are the specs and reference numbers??

AFAIK- SLA077 & SLA079

No specs ATM.

I do wish: “PROFESSIONAL” was on the dial like the SBDX001..etc
8L35 underneath the hood.
Thinner like the SLA055/057

Like Ed, I’m digging the white dial version

I'd prefer no date, but I do think it's an improvement over the lume pip at 3 covering the chapter ring. Don't love the Marinemaster font either, but overall I like it. Curious to see if it's any thinner than previous MM300s, but I'm not holding my breath.

According to Yonsson, these are just re-dialed SLA 073/075 except for the 300m & MARINEMASTER on the dial.

^ well the size works.

Perfect size. (Same as the 057)

These look great. Wonder if they will find a way to make it a solid caseback and still keep it to 13mm thick. I figure they have to differentiate it a bit from the 200m version.

Hopefully they kept the replaceable crown tube on these like the 200m models.

Here's a quick video of what I guess is the new MM300.

I’d wear that. The white dial is nice too.

Oof… that’s a downgrade to me.
Took away all the cool visuals from the original. No thanks.

I actually prefer the white dial. I don't necessarily think I'll get one, but I like it ok.

I agree, I won't be trading in my SBDX017 for one. I think it's a pretty decent looking watch, but I prefer the OG style.

[Mr_Pacman]

I think this "new" MM300 is disappointing. The MM300 used to be unique. No screw down caseback, little thick etc. While this is a really nice watch , there is nothing really exciting about it. Glad I have an SLA021 (wish I had an 017 but I can't find a nice one) and an SLA043 as that checks the boxes for me for cool seiko divers. I wouldn't buy one of these new ones unless it was on a massive discount (more than 50% off)

Agree. Everyone seems to love these. But to me they are a major step backwards from the real MM300s.

[59yukon01]

These are a perfect example of the "new and improved" are not always "improved."

[Chocodove]

It’s ok. I’d wear it for sure. but it sucks compared to the old one and I am sure it’s twice the cost. The size is the biggest selling point for me.

[3migo]

I'm glad that the SLA021/23 don't seem to be going anywhere. I like these new Marinemaster designs as well, but they're certainly not the MM300.

Although having had every generation, I still hold that the 001 is the best of the MM300's.

Saw this new Seiko Presage Style60’s Europe L.E.

Have you guys checked it out?

It has a 40.75mm stainless steel case, non rotating metallic dark
blue bezel, brushed blue dial, stainless steel bracelet, beige nylon
fabric strap, along with Calibre 4R35 and more.

Pretty cool. Thanx for sharing Tom

[Wario406]

Thanks AT, that Seiko Presage is sweet.

[jswing]

That Presage does look nice, although I think the tan strap is an odd choice that doesn't look good. I wouldn't buy one, because the non turning "dive" bezel would drive me nuts.
