The Design. This titanium GMT Flightmaster has obvious heritage. The high-contrast orange GMT hand, pink 24-hour markers, lumed hour indices, and four lumed hands all reinforce its purpose as a serious pilot’s watch. From a decorative perspective, the caseback has been engraved to look like jet engine turbine, and you’ll also notice the dial is also dual textured.
The Bezel. This ‘00s Seiko has become a sought-after collector’s piece, thanks in part to its dual-textured ceramic bezel. A rarity in Seiko’s lineup - and in watchmaking generally - the textured surface was designed to allow pilots to make adjustments even in low-light conditions.
The Movement. As is only fitting for a pilot’s watch, it features a “True” GMT movement, meaning the hour hand jumps and is set independently. Powering the watch is the Seiko 5M65, a hybrid Kinetic movement that converts motion into electrical energy. When fully charged, the capacitor can store up to six months of power. A small pusher above the crown serves as a power reserve indicator, showing the remaining charge up to the six-month maximum. With a lifespan of around 10 years before requiring a capacitor replacement, it’s an ideal companion for frequent travellers.
The Power Reserve. The aforementioned six-month power reserve can be checked by pressing the button above the crown. The hands spring to life and indicate how long is left in the reserve.
Specifications:
Condition:In very good condition overall. Just serviced. Small marks can be seen on the black half of the bezel, and the case itself. Nothing noticeably troubling.

What condition are your watches?
Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of the watches we typically sell, the condition varies from watch to watch. However, our photos are high resolution and our descriptions are accurate. You can buy with confidence knowing there won't be any nasty surprises.
If the condition of a watch is ever misrepresented, we would offer a full refund.
Are all of your watches serviced?
Most but not all of our watches are serviced. The "Condition" section of each watch will confirm if the watch has been serviced.
All of our watches are tested by an independent watchmaker - if a service is needed, the watch will be serviced. If a service hasn't been conducted, it's because the watch itself is too new to need a service, or there is evidence of a recent service.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payment by all major Credit Cards and Wise.com
Do I have to pay customs or taxes?
It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage or new), and the import laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.
Are your watches water resistant?
Our serviced watches are typically tested to their original water resistant specifications, but we would never recommend pushing vintage or neo-vintage watches to their depth limits.
What is your returns policy?
Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of most of our watches, we do not offer returns under normal circumstances. All sales should be considered final.
