PROSPEX 1968 HERITAGE DIVER’S WATCH

The prized timepiece that firmly established Seiko as a leader in sports watch excellence, the highly functional, rugged and masterfully designed 1968 Diver’s Watch is now perfected for today. Extraordinary timepieces showcase Seiko’s first mechanical GMT movement for a diver’s watch — caliber 6R54, offering a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, the longest of any Seiko mechanical watch. Framed by a Made-in-Japan ceramic uni-directional rotating elapsed timing bezel, with knurled edge for enhanced operability, each richly finished dial includes a bold GMT hand that can be set independently in one-hour increments to track a second time zone at a glance. MODEL FEATURED: SPB519 • $1,700

TAILORED FOR TODAY While staying true to the design concept of the original timepiece, Seiko has updated the revolutionary 1968 Diver’s Watch with more tailored and contemporary lines and specifications. Exciting creations offer beautifully finished dials rooted in iconic design and extraordinary features such as a specially engineered slide adjuster clasp which allows a 15mm adjustment range, easily extended or shortened in small increments to ensure a comfortable fit and compensate for changes in wrist size caused by diving pressure or the weather. MODEL FEATURED: SPB383 • $1,500

DESIGNED FOR THE DEEP BLUE Featuring models equipped with hand-assembled 8L automatic movements and 6R automatic movements with a power reserve up to 72 hours, the series based on the iconic 1968 design follows ISO standards for diver’s watches, offering up to 300 meters of water resistance. Streamlined and updated for the most intrepid divers, they include special features designed to enhance safety such as deeper knurling on both the bezel edge and the screwdown crown for ease of use, and LumiBrite hands and markers to enhance visibility, while making it easier to read the critical elapsed time measurement.
