Head-To-Head: Seiko Prospex Series SLA017J1 versus SLA025J1 versus SLA033J1 (otherwise SBDX019 versus SBEX007 versus SBDX031)
The trinity of Seiko's iconic watches albeit re-crafted from the original designs. From left to right; the SLA017J1 (for a full review click here), re-crafted from the legendary 1965 Seiko 62MAS (autoMAtic Selfdater) Ref. 6217-8000/1; the SLA025J1 (for a full review click here), re-crafted for the famous 1968 Seiko Hi-Beat Ref. 6159-7001; and the SLA033J1 (for a full review click here), re-crafted for the incredible 1970 Seiko Ref. 6105-811X.
Below are some important comparative characteristics of each watch for your reference.
As you can see, the SLA025J1 appears to a class to itself. It has a unique case construction, deeper water rating and uses a higher caliber movement.
In terms of comfort, in my opinion, the SLA017J1 is a clear winner. Its smaller dimensions makes it more suited for all occasions compared to the other two. For more information, please visit the complete review I've made on each watch.
