# Reference: **Model:** Seiko Flightmaster SBDW011 / 5M65-0A50 **Production Date:** January 2001 **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/LQwaWoZ](https://imgur.com/a/LQwaWoZ) **Album:** [https://imgur.com/a/idNf07A](https://imgur.com/a/idNf07A) # Features: **The Design.** This titanium GMT Flightmaster has obvious heritage. The high-contrast orange GMT hand, pink 24-hour markers, lumed hour indices, and four lumed hands all reinforce its purpose as a serious pilot’s watch. From a decorative perspective, the caseback has been engraved to look like jet engine turbine, and you’ll also notice the dial is also dual textured. **The Bezel.** This ‘00s Seiko has become a sought-after collector’s piece, thanks in part to its dual-textured ceramic bezel. A rarity in Seiko’s lineup - and in watchmaking generally - the textured surface was designed to allow pilots to make adjustments even in low-light conditions. **The Movement.** As is only fitting for a pilot’s watch, it features a “True” GMT movement, meaning the hour hand jumps and is set independently. Powering the watch is the Seiko 5M65, a hybrid Kinetic movement that converts motion into electrical energy. When fully charged, the capacitor can store up to six months of power. A small pusher above the crown serves as a power reserve indicator, showing the remaining charge up to the six-month maximum. With a lifespan of around 10 years before requiring a capacitor replacement, it’s an ideal companion for frequent travellers. **The Power Reserve.** The aforementioned six-month power reserve can be checked by pressing the button above the crown. The hands spring to life and indicate how long is left in the reserve.  # Details: **Condition:** In very good condition overall. Just serviced.
