From the first diver’s watch released in 1965, Seiko has been exceeding diver’s expectation with its innovative technologies that are now widely accepted global standard to any a diver’s watch available today. That includes the “accordion” or corrugated style strap which combines strength and flexibility needed while taking a dive in the deep blue, the wide arrow-shaped hands for extra legibility even in the depths that are not reached by light, and the world’s first two-layer case construction for added security and enhanced resistance to shock.
These innovative features took Seiko at the forefront of developing sports watches with truly professional specifications. A true pioneer that has set the global standards by incorporating some innovative features in timekeeping, Seiko brought together all of its sports watch expertise, may it be on land, sky, or sea, in one collection that is Prospex.
With the Seiko Prospex Sea Collection, the brand not only looks at the needs of dive masters, to which they have proven time and time again the reliability they give from every diver’s watch that came out, but also to the marine masters who race across the seas in the yachts, trying to circumnavigate the globe.
For professional yacht racers, knowing the exact time and time zone at sea is vital so that the communication with the team back home can be properly synchronized, even in the waters near the poles, where time zones change more quickly than at the equator.
Seiko’s GPS Solar Dual-Time technology provides this critical feature needed by any sailor navigating the seas. And with just one touch of a button, the watch adjusts to the exact local time anywhere on Earth. The Dual-Time function, on the other hand, allows an ocean sailor the time at their home port. And because it is powered by Seiko Solar technology, the self-charging battery takes energy from light and it does not need to be replaced.
Its exterior design also incorporates the different time zones on its bezel ring with the acronyms of major cities also etched beside it.
The classic Seiko diver’s watch had come a long way through its evolution to what it is now. Adding up to the timeline of this tradition of excellence in watch-making are the line-up of timepieces in Seiko Prospex Sea— now taking up more than just the challenges in the depths, but also the vastness of the unexplored horizons of the deep blue.
