The dial of the first Darth Tuna — the SBBN011 in 2005 — wasn’t marked Marinemaster. In the dial of the second version in 2009, SBBN013, this was added above the words Professional and 1000M. The Marinemaster signature remained the same for the third version of the Darth Tuna, the SBBN025 of 2015. Eagle-eyes amongst us might spot some delicate changes in dial printing, though. Much more obvious, the SBBN025 was updated with Seiko’s, then new, Monster-type of hands. These new hands are the reason that the SBBN025 can sometimes be seen nicked as New Darth Tuna.
Except for the construction difference, the materials used are very different between the S23631 and the S23629. The monoblock construction of the S23631 is made of titanium. The protective shroud is made from ceramic material and only the bezel is stainless steel. With the S23629, instead of the multi-material approach, all casing components are made of stainless steel. Consequently, and although smaller in diameter, the weight of the S23629 is greater. We’re talking 118 gram for the S23631 vs. 129 gram for its smaller brother, the S23629.
The list prices for the S23631 and S23629 are respectively €2,500/$2,400 and €1,500/$1,450 (US$ ex sales tax)
