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 case back. 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.
