Seiko Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver’s Special Edition SPB455

Since the beginning of Seiko in 1881, the company has continued to innovate in line with the founder's philosophy to be "Always one step ahead of the rest." In 1924, the company introduced the first wristwatch with Seiko on the dial, signifying the beginning of the Seiko brand. The year 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of this landmark event. In celebration, a third creation with a charcoal-grey colored dial is being introduced as a special edition.

This special edition features gold-colored accents that celebrate the anniversary year while calling to mind the many watchmaking advances that have been brought forth under the Seiko name.

The special edition watch comes with an additional strap made entirely of recycled plastic bottles. It was created using a traditional Japanese braiding technique called Seichu. The strap presents a uniquely Japanese aesthetic and texture and is specially manufactured to have a tensile strength nearly four times that of regular Seiko fabric straps*. Its strength and resistance to the degradation caused by exposure to sunlight meet the demanding standards required of Seiko diver’s watches. Thanks to its unique braiding pattern, the strap has the flexibility and air permeability to ensure maximum comfort on the wrist.
