Condition
This is the rare ScubaPro 1999! Only 300 made. The condition on this one is excellent.
The watch is in excellent condition. The shroud has very few little dings (see 1st pic at 4 o'clock). Any blemish you see in the pics is from finger prints that I tried to rub off. The nature of the DLC coating gives it that look. The bezel insert is near perfect. The dial is stunning as well as the hands. Perfect. The bezel turns one way with a solid click. The crown screws down with 2-3 turns. The crystal is original and in excellent shape. New caseback & crown gaskets, the bezel gasket was still good, it has been lubed with silicone grease. The case has lug holes only on the left side.
The watch comes on a new original dark green Seiko flat vent strap with black DLC buckle and keeper. These come on the newer Arnie's. The rubber is very soft and pliable.
New Seiko OEM fat spring bars. Last battery change unknown. The watch comes with z-22 wavy strap along with the original box.
History
This is the 1st limited edition Tuna. It was released in 1999 to commemorate the end of the Millennium. It was commissioned by ScubaPro, marking their 2nd collaboration on a watch. This ScubaPro 1999 was only sold at ScubaPro dive shops as a special promo. This watch features a Mercedes style handset that is often used in ScubaPro watches. The crown has the ScubaPro logo engraved on it.
