PRE-ORDER Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Divers Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition GMT Great Wave Blue SPB509J1 For delivery or collection from Derby at the start of June 2025

This limited edition design commemorates 60 years of Seiko’s heritage in innovative and reliable diving watches, which began with the 1965 launch of Japan and Seiko’s first ever Diver’s watch.

This latest timepiece takes its inspiration from a key milestone in Seiko’s diving watch expertise – the 1968 Diver. This was the brand’s first one-piece case hi-beat Diver’s watch, with 300m water resistance. The modern recreation of the 1968 Diver has been designed under the theme of ‘The Great Wave’ – a reference to the iconic woodblock print by artist Hokusai, during the Edo period.

Crafted from stainless steel with a super-hard coating, this timepiece features a special dial pattern, inspired by the wave symbol on its case back. This symbol, seen on all Seiko diving watches since the 1960s, was designed to symbolise high-grade water resistance.

The diving scale on the bezel is crafted from lightweight, scratch-resistant ceramic and its GMT feature tracks multiple time zones simultaneously. For the first time in a Prospex watch, the short-pitch length bracelet features a micro-adjustable clasp feature for added comfort.

The in-house built 6R54 automatic GMT calibre is accurate to -15/+25 seconds per day, with a three day power reserve. This timepiece is water resistant up to 300m.

Prospex is a combination of the words ‘Professional’ and ‘Specifications.’ Seiko Prospex timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable; to meet the high standards required in extreme environments for sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.
