A stealthy modern tribute to a legendary diver
Night diving is a great way to enjoy a completely different experience of the sea from that of diving in the daytime. Many divers are fascinated by the mysterious world of the ocean at night, making this recreational activity popular around the world. With this in mind, Seiko presents the Black Series of Prospex dive watches, which express the silence of the night ocean, with orange elements inspired by the lights that illuminate the darkness. Each Limited Edition reference in the series pays tribute to one of the brand's groundbreaking legacy dive watches.
This reference SPB253 is inspired by Seiko's groundbreaking diver from 1968 with its 300 meters of water resistance and 10-beat automatic movement. While retaining the sharp and powerful design of the original model, this modern reference offers enhanced comfort and fits on the wrist by adopting a smaller case size of 42mm.
It is presented with both a silicone rubber strap for diving, and a fabric strap which incorporates a traditional braiding technique from Japan called Seichu. It's strength and resistance to degradation caused by exposure to sunlight meet the most demanding standards of Seiko Prospex diver's watches.
