Seiko has been continuously evolving and producing a diverse range of products with unique technology since the birth of its first domestic diver's watch in 1965, aiming to be a safe and reliable timepiece for deep-sea exploration. Not limited to underwater use, Seiko watches have been trusted and highly regarded by professional divers and adventurers in extreme environments such as the Arctic, Antarctic, and Everest.
This collection inherits the essence of Seiko's 1965 diver's watch while enhancing its waterproof performance and power reserve, making it a practical premium sports watch.
Evolution in Performance and Design:
The Caliber 6R55, introduced for the first time in a diver's watch, provides a long power reserve of approximately 72 hours and boasts a water resistance of 300m, making it Seiko's highest specification for an air diving watch. The placement of the date window between 4 and 5 o'clock allows all 12 indexes to illuminate with Lumibrite, creating a symmetrical design and ensuring high visibility even in low-light conditions.
Pursuit of Wearing Comfort:
While maintaining the durability and safety required for Seiko's diver's watches, this collection achieves a comfortable fit. The case adopts a compact size of 40.0mm in diameter and 13.0mm in thickness, fitting well on the wrist. The newly developed bracelet, with an 8.0mm short lug pitch, moves flexibly along the curve of the wrist, providing a comfortable wearing experience.
The collection offers models with black and blue dials - SBDC195 Blue & SBDC197 Black.
