eiko Introduces Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver’s GMT in ‘Seashadow’ black, exclusive to the London Bond Street Boutique and limited to 500 pieces.

Beneath the sapphire crystal lies a black ‘Seashadow’ gloss dial, accented with gold-tone indices and hands. This latest timepiece draws inspiration from a key milestone in Seiko’s diving heritage, the 1968 Diver, the brand’s first one-piece case hi-beat diver’s watch with 300m water resistance.

This modern interpretation is crafted from stainless steel with a super-hard coating, while the bezel’s diving scale is lightweight, made from scratch-resistant ceramic. Its GMT function allows tracking of two time zones simultaneously. The caseback features the limited-edition number and, for the first time, includes a micro-adjustable clasp for enhanced comfort. The Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver’s GMT in ‘Seashadow’ black is powered by Seiko’s in-house 6R54 automatic GMT calibre, that is accurate to -15/+25 seconds per day, with a three-day power reserve. This model is water resistant to 300m.

The Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver’s GMT Boutique Exclusive in ‘Seashadow’ black is available for pre-order from the 8th of October, £1,600 from Seikoboutique.co.uk.
