SEIKO PROSPEX – Solar PADI Diver Chronograph SSC663P1

At £349, this Seiko Prospex Solar PADI Watch represents excellent value for money. 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.
