The Seiko uses an automatic movement with manual winding, caliber 6R55, 24 jewels, a 72-hour power reserve, and a listed accuracy claim of +25 to -15 seconds per day. The DOXA uses an automatic Sellita SW200-1 with 26 jewels, 4 Hz / 28,800 vph, and a 38-hour power reserve, but no accuracy claim is listed. On the provided data, Seiko clearly wins for endurance and the only stated performance spec, while DOXA’s Sellita has the familiar appeal of a widely used, service-friendly architecture with a slightly more traditional beat rate. Winner: Seiko SPB545
The Seiko is 40.0mm wide, 13.0mm thick, and 46.4mm lug-to-lug, with a 20mm lug width. The DOXA is 42mm wide, 13.8mm thick, and 46.0mm lug-to-lug, with a 19mm lug width. In practice, the DOXA wears a bit broader and thicker, but the short lug-to-lug keeps it manageable; the Seiko should feel more compact and slightly easier for a wider range of wrists. The Seiko’s wearability summary emphasizes modern 1965 Heritage diver proportions and an adjustable steel bracelet clasp with tool-free six-step slide adjustment, which is a meaningful comfort advantage. The DOXA’s wearability summary highlights compact vintage-inspired proportions, a slimmer/lighter feel than larger SUB models, and easy everyday wear, though weight is not listed and the bracelet/clasp is described more simply. Winner: Seiko SPB545
Both have date displays, unidirectional bezels, sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating, and screw-down crowns/casebacks. The Seiko adds 300m water resistance, LumiBrite on the hands, indexes, and bezel, and a sunray blue dial with clearly specified luminous index treatment, which strengthens legibility and tool-watch credibility. The DOXA counters with a high-visibility orange dial, Super-LumiNova, and the brand’s signature beads-of-rice bracelet, plus a sapphire or stainless steel inlay on the bezel insert; however, its 200m water resistance is lower and the bracelet/clasp is less detailed in the data. For pure everyday practicality, the Seiko’s extra water resistance and better-defined clasp adjustment make it the more versatile modern diver, while the DOXA wins on distinctive dial personality. Winner: Seiko SPB545
The DOXA is slightly less expensive at $1,290 versus Seiko’s $1,400, so it has the MSRP edge. The Seiko, however, offers more listed water resistance, a longer power reserve, and a more adjustable bracelet system, which strengthens its ownership practicality. The DOXA carries stronger heritage signals in the data: the SUB line’s direct link to vintage DOXA dive-watch history and the iconic orange Professional dial. The Seiko’s value case is more about balanced specification and limited-edition presentation with serial-number engraving, while DOXA’s appeal is more about collector identity and design lineage. If you prioritize practical spec-for-dollar, Seiko is stronger; if heritage and distinctive collecting appeal matter more, DOXA is compelling. Winner: Seiko SPB545
