SEIKO PROSPEX – PADI Automatic Diver Watch Silicone Strap SPB071J1

This Seiko Prospex PADI Diver Silicone Strap Watch has echoes of Seiko’s original 1965 diver model. However, the case shape of this watch has been brought up to date with a sleek and contemporary silhouette. The 42.6mm case sits comfortably on the wrist and blends seamlessly into the blue silicone accordion strap. Invented by Seiko in 1975, the accordion strap solves the problem of the expansion and contraction of a diver’s wrist at different depths.

Diving features

Water resistant to 200 m/660 ft the Seiko Prospex Diver Silicone Strap Watch has all the attributes you expect from a professional Diver’s watch. The graded blue dial gets gradually darker from the top to the bottom which is reminiscent of the ocean depths. For maximum visibility, the hour markers and hands are coated in Lumibrite. Additionally, a legible minute track at the extreme edge of the dial and a date display at 3 o’clock are also useful features. The dial is protected by a curved sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and therefore improve legibility. Equipped with an automatic 6R15 calibre movement, the watch has a power reserve of approx. 50 hours.

The Seiko Prospex Diver Silicone Strap Watch is the perfect choice for those seeking a professional PADI  diver’s watch with an automatic movement. For complete peace of mind, it is also covered by a two year manufacturer’s warranty.
