40mm stainless steel case, automatic movement, green dial, stainless steel bracelet with additional green fabric strap. Special Edition.
Seiko Prospex challenges every limit, with a collection of timepieces for sports lovers and adventure seekers whether in the water, in the sky or on land. Since launching Japan’s first diver’s watch in 1965, Seiko’s innovative technology has changed global standards. We are constantly striving to bring ever greater reliability and safety to both professional and recreational divers.
This Seiko Prospex diver’s watch has been created in collaboration with PADI – the Professional Association of Diving instructors, the world’s most recognised diver’s training organisation.
Its design takes its inspiration from the very first milestone in Seiko’s diving watch expertise from 1965 – Japan’s and Seiko’s first ever diver’s watch: the ‘62MAS’. Due to its reliability, it was worn four times by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition team and later by adventurers and explorers in the most severe conditions on Earth, including the North and South Poles and Mount Everest.
Crafted from stainless steel with a super-hard coating, the green dial depicts the surface of the ocean seen by a diver underwater, with the sunlight bursting through. For legibility, the date feature is placed in an upright position at 4.5 o’clock. The short-pitch length bracelet features a micro-adjustable clasp feature for added comfort, whilst it is also accompanied by an additional matching green strap, crafted entirely from recycled fishing nets. The in-house 6R55 automatic calibre is accurate to -15/+25 seconds per day, with a three day power reserve. This timepiece is water resistant up to 300m. Prospex is a combination of the words ‘Professional’ and ‘Specifications.’ Seiko Prospex timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable; to meet the high standards required in extreme environments for sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.
A special edition symbolizing the partnership between Prospex and PADI.
A special dial infused with love for the beautiful ocean. An emerald-green gradation dial inspired by the shimmering light and rippling surface as seen from underwater.
A fabric strap made from upcycled fishing nets
The fabric strap, made from nylon upcycled from discarded fishing nets, is intricately woven using the traditional Japanese technique called Seichu, often used for kimono obi belts.
A new clasp designed for comfort and operability
The new clasp can be adjusted in six steps, each measuring about 2.5mm, for a total range of approximately 15mm. It allows for a comfortable fit at all times, accommodating changes in wrist size during diving and daily life.
