The first Seiko diver's watch was used by members of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition from 1966 to 1969. In the years of 1974 to 1976, the Japanese watch manufacturer's reputation for robust and reliable diving watches was put to the test again when Naomi Uemura completed a 12,500km solo dog-sled run from Greenland to Alaska wearing a Seiko 6105. Ocean exploration and conservation are important initiatives to Seiko, especially when it come to the Prospex diving collection. Through the Save the Ocean programme, Seiko delivers financial and other support to charities that are contributing to the well-being of the marine environment.
With its latest releases, Seiko expands the range with the introduction of Seiko Prospex Diver's Modern Re-interpretation Save the Ocean SPB297, SPB299 and SPB301 Special Editions. All three new iterations are crafted with contemporary elements that of iconic dive watches from the archives, turning them into instant novelties. Each of them houses a patterned dial influenced by the hypnotic beauty of glacial ice.
