- There are just 1,000 pieces of this particular 'Black Series' design available globally.
- 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.
- The Series is inspired by key moments from Seiko’s diving heritage – 1965, 1968 and 1970 - this particular design is a modern version of the 1970 timepiece.
- 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.
- Movement: 8L35 Calibre Automatic movement with manual winding option and with 26 jewels. Up to 50 hours power reserve. Beats at 28,000 vibrations per hour.
- The 8L35 movement is a high quality, strong and sturdy movement, made to withstand tough conditions like deep-sea diving. It is built on the same foundation as the Grand Seiko 9S55 movement, albeit without the the same level of decoration.
- Curved sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface.
- 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.
- 200m water resistant watch.
- This timepiece is accompanied by an additional silicone strap and a limited edition box.
- 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. Since launching Japan's first diver's watch in 1965, Seiko's innovative watchmaking has changed global dive watch standards.
- 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.
- Display date between the 4 and 5 o'clock position.
- Screw-down crown and screwed case back.
- Unidirectional rotating bezel.
- 3 years manufacturer warranty.
