This Seiko Prospex SLA037 The 1965 Diver's Re-creation is in EXCELLENT condition. This watch includes its original box and instruction manual. Limited Edition of 1,100 pieces.
Seiko's and Japan's first ever diver's watch was made in 1965 at a time when watches with high levels of water resistance were not widely available. It incorporated an automatic mechanical caliber and delivered 150m water resistance. The watch was designed for maximum reliability and legibility in the harshest conditions and was used by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition from 1966 to 1969. As leisure diving grew in popularity, the watch found favor with an ever wider public and set Seiko on a path of continuous development in durable, accurate and safe diver's watches that has continued to this day.
This Seiko Prospex features a 39.9mm ever-brilliant steel case with a solid case back on a blue rubber strap. This watch also showcases a blue dial with white Lumibrite hands and index dial markers covered by box-shaped sapphire crystal.
