PROSPEX 1965 DIVER

1965 Diver’s Watch Recreation Limited Edition. Designed for those who treat life as the ultimate adventure, the Seiko Prospex line meets every challenge with technological excellence and style. Part of a rich legacy of innovation in high-intensity timekeeping, Prospex continues to celebrate a long history of sports watch excellence with recreations and reinterpretations of landmark achievements. Marking the 55th anniversary of Seiko’s first diver’s watch, this extraordinary Hi-Beat Automatic Diver is available only in a limited edition of 1,100, with the serial number engraved on each caseback. Upgraded with a box-shaped anti-reflective sapphire crystal, it is crafted of Seiko’s new Ever-Brilliant Steel, offering an exceptional level of corrosion resistance and a lighter, brighter finish. The rich blue-gray dial, designed to suggest the ocean depths at the point at which blue yields to darkness, features a date calendar and LumiBrite hands and markers. Following ISO standards for scuba diving to depths of up to 200 meters, this exceptional watch includes a black one-way rotating elapsed timing bezel and screwdown crown and caseback, as well as a reinforced blue-gray silicone strap, paying tribute to the advanced original ÒTROPICÓ design.
