The Classic Seiko Prospex Dive Watches
Jul
Seiko’s Prospex collection is known for its high-quality diving timepieces, sports chronographs, and tool watches for outdoor activities. The collection is divided into five groups: Sea, Land, Speedtimer, LX Line, and Street Series, each with its own unique features and designs.
Seiko Prospex Sea
Seiko Prospex collection began in 1965 with the launch of their first diver’s watch. This watch was able to resist water up to 150 meters and was tested during the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. Since then, Seiko has developed several types of diver’s watches including those used for scuba diving and professional diving.
Seiko is a company that has made significant innovations in submersible watches. They were the first to produce a professional diving watch in titanium. Seiko has developed several features to enhance diving timepieces, including an original dial design for optimal legibility in all conditions, an L-shaped gasket for improved water resistance, a torque control bezel, an outer case protector, and an accordion polyurethane strap.
Seiko’s Diver’s watches are both reliable and affordable, making them a popular choice worldwide. Many models have earned nicknames due to their unique designs, including Turtle, Tuna, Monster, Shogun, Sumo, Samurai, Sea Urchin, Arnie, Bottle Cap, Starfish, and Spork.
Seiko: A Timeless Brand with an Array of Diver WatchesSeiko boasts of a diverse collection of diver watches, each with different types of movements – automatic, kinetic, quartz, solar, or spring drive. Alongside the Save the Ocean, Black Series, and PADI editions, they offer limited series of modern reinterpretations of several historic diving models. Explore the Seiko lineup and find the perfect watch for your needs.
Introducing the Seiko Prospex Land Series: Alpinist and FieldmasterFor those looking for a reliable outdoor watch, Seiko’s Prospex Land Series is a great choice. Designed for men, both the Alpinist and Fieldmaster models are automatic and water-resistant up to 200 meters.
The Seiko Prospex Alpinist comes in two sizes – 38mm and 39.5mm in diameter – and features the automatic caliber 6R35. It showcases a unique dial design, complete with cathedral-style or dauphine hands for the hour and minutes and an arrow-shaped center seconds hand.
Seiko’s Prospex diving watches come in different case sizes. The Seiko diver Prospex turtle has a 41mm diameter case, while the Samurai model has a 43.8mm case. The Sumo maintains a 45mm case, and the Marinemaster Automatic Professional 1000m has a large 52.4mm case. These automatic divers are powered by Seiko movements like 4R35/6R35/8L35 (with date) and 4R36/6R36 (with day and date).
Seiko Prospex Land
You may have heard of the iconic Seiko Turtle models, part of Seiko’s iconic diving model collection. But what if a watch with that case design is aimed at adventure on land? In comes the… tortoise! The Seiko Prospex Land Tortoise SRPH17K1 features the iconic Turtle case shape but comes fitted with a compass bezel, to be more suited for conquering land. Although we do need to mention this watch can still withstand water, in fact it can deal with depths up to 200m, which is still very respectable.
The watch is built for comfort with it’s 42.4mm case, 45.2mm lug-to-lug distance, mere 12mm thickness and crown positioned at 4 o’clock, it has all the right boxes ticked to be unobtrusive when you wear it. Other practical features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, great LumiBrite lume, and an in-house produced Seiko Cal. 4R35 mechanical (automatic) movement.
Whenever you change a classic design or built upon it, it makes you vulnerable to criticism and feedback. Many people love the Turtle for its rich history, comfort and just being an amazing watch. With the Tortoise Seiko took a risk, but objectively it’s a great, handsome watch that will prove to be a great wrist companion in many settings.
