Key Features
- 20 ATM Water Resistance: Engineered for serious diving, this watch withstands water pressure up to 200 meters (20 atmospheres), making it suitable for recreational scuba diving, snorkeling, and a wide range of water sports. The screw-down crown enhances water resistance, ensuring internal components remain protected during submersion.
- 45mm Stainless Steel Case: The substantial yet wearable case size offers a commanding presence on the wrist while maintaining comfort during extended wear. Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, it resists corrosion and daily wear, making it ideal for both aquatic adventures and everyday use.
- Automatic Movement: Powered by Seiko’s in-house automatic caliber, the watch self-winds with the natural motion of your wrist—no battery required. This ensures consistent performance and reduces long-term maintenance, appealing to those who value mechanical craftsmanship and reliability.
- Green Dial with Luminous Markers: The vibrant green dial provides excellent contrast and readability, enhanced by luminous hour markers and hands that glow brightly in low-light or underwater conditions. This feature is essential for divers needing clear time checks in dark or murky environments.
- Sapphire Crystal Glass: The face is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, offering superior clarity and resilience against everyday wear, impacts, and environmental exposure. Unlike mineral or acrylic glass, sapphire maintains its finish over time, preserving the watch’s appearance.
- Stainless Steel Bracelet: The integrated stainless steel bracelet is built for strength and comfort, featuring a secure folding clasp with a safety lock. Designed for active use, it resists saltwater corrosion and adjusts easily for over-wetsuit wear, a key requirement for divers.
- Date Function: A practical date display at the 3 o’clock position adds everyday utility without compromising the watch’s clean, professional aesthetic. The date window is framed for clarity and blends seamlessly into the overall design.
- Official Packaging: The watch arrives in its official Seiko box, ensuring authenticity and providing secure storage or an elegant presentation for gifting. The packaging includes protective materials to safeguard the watch during transit.
