SEIKO PROSPEX 1965 REVIVAL DIVER’S 3-DAY 300M: A MODERN CLASSIC REBORN

The Seiko Watches Prospex 1965 Revival Diver’s 3-day 300m is a modern reinvention of Seiko’s first diver’s watch, launched in 1965 and was Japan’s maiden entry into the segment. This new rendition highlights Seiko’s legacy of sturdy and practical timepieces while improving the watch’s water resistance and power reserve capabilities.

The original Seiko diver’s watch was worn by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition between 1966 and 1969 and was applauded for its reliability, safety, and rigorous professional standards. This watch subsequently became the benchmark for adventurers exploring the harsh environments of Mount Everest and the polar regions. The 2024 revival model features refined specifications, including advanced water resistance and an extended power reserve, all in a slimmer profile than its predecessors.

The Prospex 1965 Revival Diver’s 3-day 300m complies with professional ISO diving standards and boasts a 72-hour power reserve and water resistance up to 300m. It also has a Lumibrite coating on the hands and indices for visibility in low-light conditions. The watch is available in various colours, such as Scuba Blue, Cove Black, and the 100th Anniversary Tide Grey Special Edition, which features an eco-friendly strap made entirely from recycled materials.

The Seiko Prospex 1965 Revival Diver’s 3-day 300m is priced between £1,200 and £1,380 and can be purchased from Seikoboutique.co.uk.
