Highlights:
  • This watch is a Limited Edition model, 5,500 pieces of this particular 2022 'Black Series' design available globally. 
  • The 1970 Diver’s modern reinterpretation timepiece was named ‘Captain Willard’ by fans for Martin Sheen’s character who wore it in the ‘Apocalypse Now’ movie. The original 1970 Diver’s timepiece was worn by Japanese explorer Naomi Uemura, the first man in the world to climb the highest peaks of each five continents – wearing a Seiko diving watch whilst he did it.
  • Very popular since its inception and now in its fourth year of limited edition release, Seiko Prospex Black Series is inspired by the mysterious world of night diving. 
  • This 2021 version comes with calibre 6R35 and its long-lasting 70 hour power reserve.
  • The orange colouring of the markers and lumibrite is designed for increased visibility in the dark word of the night sea – orange is the colour of night divers’ lamps, allowing time to be read clearly under dark conditions. 
  • The crown at 4 o’clock position for comfort and practicality is protected by the wide flowing case design around it, creating its signature look.
  • It is accompanied by Seiko's first ever original nylon strap for diver's watches – the 'SEICHU,' made in Japan, designed for flexibility and durability.
  • Prospex is a combination of the words 'Professional' and 'Specifications.'
  • Seiko Prospex timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable; to meet the high standards required in extreme environments for sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.
  • As part of the Seiko Diver's Re-creation series, this model is a fantastic timepiece with all the finery expected from Seiko's superior diver's model series.
  • Curved sapphire crystal glass with inner anti-reflective coating provides better protection from scratches in your daily life.
  • 200 metres water resistant with Screw-down crown and case-back.
More features:
  • The uni-directional rotating bezel: The precise and safe operation of the uni-directional bezel prevents accidental rotation.
  • The easy to read dial features luminous indexes, hands and bezel.
  • Displays date at the 3 o'clock position.
