I actually really like a Tuna design in Safari Green
I seem to go around the Tuna merry-go-round quite a bit. I think I've settled on the variation I want to represent a great Tuna design for myself most recently.
While trying to consolidate my watch collection, I feel that my personal favorite Seiko diver design is the Tuna. But, I also really like the particular green tones in my SBDC111 Green Cpt. Willard. So, combining 2 aspects of watches I have/had own(ed), I decided to go back to a 2021 Street Tuna model (sometimes also called the Urban Tunas, I think) with the SBDY075 in Safari Green.
When it first was released, I had passed on this green color variation in favor of the blue version which I also owned before. Now, finally going back and picking up the Safari Green, I'm glad I did. I'll lead on to say the "Street (or Urban) Tunas" in 43mm are both a great size for a larger variety of wrist sizes and great value for often well under $500.
I love this color way. I find it unique for the Tuna design as I can't think of any other Tuna that utilize green other that a limited edition green Gundam version released several years ago. I believe it was part of the Prospex LX line and rather expensive. I believe it was more of a beast at closer to 50mm with 1000m WR and ceramic shroud, etc... Anyways, I can't wait to try many other strap options on it in the near future.
I couldn't seem to reply or add a comment to the Welcome post. So, I'll just do it here. Name is Wing. Just a simple watch enthusiast just like the rest of you here, I imagine. Figure I'd drop first w...
Love the design as well. My arnie fills in the gap.
Love this design a lot. I can’t articulate why… I just love it a lot.
I’ve had this one for about two years, and I absolutely love wearing it. It is usually worn with my first generation Seiko monster bracelet. I think the two go quite well together. This one’s hard to takeoff. Enjoy it!
I love the case size of this Tuna. I paired mine with vintage style rubber strap

Looks great on the monster bracelet. If you've watched Average Bros channel on YouTube, he did the same thing with his street tuna.
I already have a strap code endmill bracelet which I've used with this style of tuna before.. have owned 3 others prior to this one. Will likely still use again with this new one I've just acquired.
Man, that looks good!
