# Reference: **Model**: SBDB007 / 5R66-0AX0 “Miura Everest” Spring Drive Landmaster **Year**: May 2013 **Album**: [https://imgur.com/a/o9KFsto](https://imgur.com/a/o9KFsto) **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/27v8YE4](https://imgur.com/a/27v8YE4) # Features: **The Ocassion.** At the age of 80, Yūichirō Miura set the record for being the oldest person to successfully summit Mt. Everest - a record that still stands to this day. To honour this impressive feat, Seiko created the SBDB007 Landmaster, Limited to 300 Pieces. There are plenty of small details that capture the spirit of the occasion: the crown is engraved with a rising sun cresting over a mountain peak, symbolising Japan’s conquest of Everest, the additional strap is a reinforced nylon band, ideal for slipping over the cuff of your Gore-Tex outer layer, and don’t forget the engravable Personal Data caseback - useful if you’re ever found unconscious and require emergency assistance. **The Message.** As a final touch, the box contains a thoughtful message from the man himself: "Towards the high and distant summit of dreams, continuing to mark the passage of time." **The Personal Touch.** You might have already noticed the casing has worn away where Miura Everest 2013 is engraved. Inspired by Miura’s triumph, the previous owner wore this watch every day for many years. And whenever he felt anxious or uncertain, he would rub the Miura engraving - a tactile reminder that even the seemingly insurmountable can be overcome. Judging by the wear, he had plenty to worry about - but he was quick to clarify that it brought him great fortune over the years. While I can’t promise the next owner good fortune. But I do hope it brings you the same quiet reassurance it once gave him. **The Build.** A rough and ready GMT Spring Drive. Released in 2013, the Landmaster was built for adventure. The SBDB007 is housed in a solid titanium case, coated with black PVD. Notice the crown at the 12 o’clock position - strategically placed to protect it from impact as you take on the world.  **The Movement.** Powering this Landmaster is the 5R66 Spring Drive, the undecorated version of Seiko's 9R66 Spring Drive - because why go to the trouble of decorating a movement when you’re going to encase it in solid titanium? Accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month, and with a 70 power reserve, this movement was built for performance. It’s a “True” or “Traveller” GMT, and for the sake of night-time clarity, the GMT hand glows red instead of the lumibrite-green seen on the rest of the dial and hands.  # Details: **Scope**: Full box and papers. **Condition:** Just serviced by Seiko. Cosmetically, in worn condition, with marks on the PVD. The PVD has been rubbed away around the Miura Everest 2012 engraving.  **Movement**: 30 Jewels 5R66 Spring Drive, with 70-hour Power Reserve **Case Width**: 45.0mm **Lug to lug:** 47.2mm **Case Thickness**: 14.0mm **Price**: **$4050**.
