Description

 Seiko Prospex ‘Arnie’ Predator Solar ‘Tuna’ Mens Watch SNJ025P1

Background:

This Seiko Prospex Arnie Predator Solar SNJ025P1 was used in the classic 80’s films, Commando & Predator. It was the bodybuilder come actor Arnold Schwarznegger who donned the watches in the films, hence the nickname ‘Arnie’. As of 2019, he is the most recent Republican governor of California.

The Case:

Despite measuring in at 48mm wide and having an unmistakable wrist presence, this Seiko Prospex Arnie Predator Solar SNJ025P1 sits comfortably on the wrist. It does bare much resemblance to the Seiko Tuna, as it brandishes a similar stainless steel knurled bezel, which allows the uni-directional bezel to be easily turned. Also present on the dial is a lume pip at the 12 o’clock mark to increase legibility. Also similar to the original Tuna model is to the green metal shroud that protects the case. This bestows the watch with a tank like appearance, as well as the feeling that it would be able to take on some military-grade impact as well. Flashes of vibrant red are instilled through the pushers that are present on the left side of the watch. Likewise a screw down crown sits neatly besides the 3 o’clock mark.

The Dial:

The watches were one of the first analog-digital dive watches with a digital LCD display seen right at the top of the dial. The digi-analog lay out is neat and effective. The digital time is displayed at the top of the dial. Whilst the remains space of the dial is used to display the analog time. It consists of lume coated indices that are very subtly engorged that adds a nice level of texture to the dial. Similarly, the polished silver hands add to the legibility of the watch. Much depth is provided through the two step rehaut design, which makes the dial of the watch appear as if it sitting way beneath the hardlex crystal glass that protects it.

The Strap:

The strap is made from reinforced silicon bands that are able to withstand harsh operating environments. Also, the understated black strap has a ribbed design, which is a subtle reminder of the watch’s background. Seiko’s attention detail is present in the form of the wave design that is embossed on the strap. It fastens using a standard buckle.

Functions:

This timepiece is equipped with Seiko’s famous Solar H851 movement which has a colossal six month power reserve when fully charged. The fact that it is a solar movement means that the accuracy for the watch is only +- 15 seconds per month, worlds apart compared to the standard accuracy of an automatic movement being +-15 seconds per day. The digital screen offers a handful of additional functions including a calendar, second time zone, chronograph and alarm which can be accessed through using the two buttons on the left hand side of the case. Additionally, the LCD display has a backlight to allow for easy visibility at night. The dial itself has a grey-purple colour to it under very bright light. Complete with a dive bezel, the SNJ025 offers more than enough water resistance for diving, providing you screw down the crown and the pushers. The 2 function buttons/crowns at 8 and 11 position on this watch need to unscrew to make them work, however, on this model they unscrew clockwise which is the opposite way to a standard watch.
 
This watch has a water resistance of 200 metres, making it suitable for diving.

The Family: Prospex

Seiko Prospex challenges every limit, with a collection of timepieces for sports lovers and adventure seekers whether in the water, in the sky or on land. Since launching Japan’s first diver’s watch in 1965, Seiko’s innovative technology has changed global standards. Seiko are constantly striving to bring ever greater reliability and safety to both professional and recreational divers. The variety in the collection offers different movements like automatic, solar, analogue quartz, solar chronograph and radio sync solar world time chronograph watches.

The Brand: Seiko

Ceaseless determination to innovate in every aspect of the watchmaker’s art is what defines Seiko’s 135-year history. By embracing this ethos, Seiko has been responsible for a string of industry-leading advances in the technology of time. Notably, the creation of the world’s first quartz watch in 1969. Or equally impressive the creation of the world’s first TV watch in 1982. And even more relevant today, with our abhorrent use of non-renewable energy sources, Seiko’s Kinetic. The listed technological developments serve as evidence to illustrate the revolutionary impact which Seiko has had on the watchmaking world. They are also remarkably unique in that they manufacture every aspect of every watch in-house.

Free Strap Adjustment

It's important that your watch fits your wrist comfortably and looks great at the same time.

Leather strap watches tend to fit without a problem for most wearers. However, watches fitted with metal bracelets often need adjusting to get the perfect fit.

This is generally a very simple procedure. We can do this for you, or you can get the watch adjusted locally.

Option 1. Specify your wrist measurement and we will adjust it before being sent

When purchasing a watch which has a metal bracelet with adjustable links, we will gladly adjust the watch bracelet to fit your wrist before sending the watch to you - free of charge!

Simply type your wrist measurement (in inches or centimetres) into the bracelet size section of the checkout and we will ensure the watch bracelet is adjusted accordingly before being sent to you. We will include all the surplus links, with the watch.

How to measure your wrist

You can measure your wrist with a piece of string which you can measure against a ruler:

You should allow about half a centimetre (1/4 inch) of slack to prevent it being too tight on your wrist.

In the event of you needing an extra-long wrist bracelet, which requires an extension to the original watch, we must obtain extra links from the manufacturer, and in this event, we will contact you to inform you of any possible delays or applicable charges.

Watches with bracelets adjusted by WatchNation are still eligible under our refund policy.

Option 2. Buy the watch online from WatchNation and have it adjusted locally

If you wish, you can have it adjusted locally by another jeweller or key cutter. However, you will have to cover the cost of this option yourself.
