    PROSPEX 1968 Reinterpretation

    This timepiece is one of a collection of new interpretations of Seiko's diving heritage for 2020. 

    This specific watch is inspired by the Seiko 1968 Diver’s 300m watch – which was the highest of world standards hi-beat calibre and was used for the first climb from Japan to Mount Everest. 

    The 2020 version has been modernised from the original version with a smaller case size - from 44mm to 42mm,  high visibility dial layout and increased power reserve to 70 hours with calibre 6R35.

    Seiko Prospex watches are designed for sports lovers and adventure seekers in the water, in the sky or on land. Since launching Japan’s first diver’s watch in 1965, Seiko’s innovative watchmaking has changed global dive watch standards."

    Wow what a watch, I absolutely love it, firstly the case size is absolutely perfect, it’s a 42” watch but seiko have made it with a 40” bezel and it wears like a 40” but sits perfectly, never seen this before with any seiko or other brand, the bezel normally is the same size as the case but what a brilliant move by seiko, I’ve got a 7” wrist and it just sits so lovely. The quality of this watch is unbelievable, the styling and polished/brushed parts is a work of art, sapphire AR crystal, automatic, hackable, self winding (lovely quality winder, very cathartic to use, solid bracelet, solid end links, the whole works. I love the steel bezel, and the completely matt black face work great and the little red dot on the second hand, all work so well together, it’s also great that it’s on a 20mm bracelet and not a 22mm as a 20mm works so much better for case to bracelet ratio and a really nice wide clasp catch too, another thing I adore is the bevel on the sapphire perimeter, it catches the light wonderfully along with the polished parts just scream quality. This is by far the best designed seiko I’ve ever had, I truly love it. Excellent service as per usual from FCW, arrived the very next morning, thank you to everyone at FCW, my absolute no1 watch retailer ever. Cheers.
