PROSPEX 1970 DIVER'S MODERN RE-INTERPRETATION

1970 Diver's Watch Re-Interpretation Special Edition.

Designed for those who treat life as the ultimate adventure, the Seiko Prospex line meets every challenge with technological excellence and style.

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.

Inspired by the deep blue colour of a diver’s fantasy of a mysterious Japanese lagoon, this timepiece is only available from selected Seiko boutiques worldwide

The shape of this 1970 Diver’s modern reinterpretation timepiece was named ‘Captain Willard’ by fans for Martin Sheen’s character who wore it in the ‘Apocalypse Now’ movie.

The original 1970 Diver’s timepiece was worn by Japanese explorer Naomi Uemura, the first man in the world to climb the highest peaks of each five continents – wearing a Seiko diving watch whilst he did it.

This distinctive Special Edition reimagines Seiko's famed 1970 diver's watch, complete with the iconic case design that revolutionized underwater safety with a recessed crown creating a built-in crown guard at 4 o'clock. Crafted of stainless steel with super hard coating, this masterfully updated design includes a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, black and rose gold uni-directional rotating elapsed timing bezel, and screwdown crown and caseback, as well as a tri-fold push button release clasp with secure lock and extender. The patterned blue dial, suggesting the natural beauty of a lagoon, features a date calendar and LumiBrite hands and markers. Following ISO standards for scuba diving to depths of up to 200 meters, this exceptional watch is powered by a 24-jewel automatic movement, which beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, and offers manual winding capability. 200m Water Resistant
