It operates at 21,600vph, offers a 50 hour power reserve, and can be hacked and hand-wound, unlike Seiko’s entry-level 7s26.
SEIKO PROSPEX SPB MANUAL
Powered by a 24-jewel automatic movement with a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, and manual and automatic winding capability, this exceptional watch follows ISO standards for scuba diving to depths of up to 200 meters. Like many of the higher-end Prospex models, the Seiko Prospex Special Edition PADI SPB071J1 is powered by the in-house 6r15 automatic movement.
All four of the new models have 40.5mm-wide steel cases and a price point that is a fraction of that established by the truly lovely SLA017.
SEIKO PROSPEX SPB UPDATE
Including an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, this perfectly balanced timepiece offers a screwdown crown and caseback, and tri-fold push button release clasp with secure lock and extender. Today, I dont need to come up with anything, because Seiko has just announced an update to their 62MAS-inspired Prospex SPB line of 200m dive watches. The high-visibility black dial, framed by a black and gray one-way rotating elapsed timing bezel, features a date calendar and LumiBrite hands and markers. The Seiko Prospex Diver’s 1968 Reinterpretation SPB185J1 & SPB187J1 are released as members of the permanent collection and are available now at retailers (November 2020). With its strong, yet smooth lines, and signature arrow-shaped bezel notches, this versatile watch reimagines Seiko's popular 2008 diver's watch, crafted, like the original of light and durable titanium, with a super-hard coating for enhanced strength.
Designed for those who treat life as the ultimate adventure, the Seiko Prospex line meets every challenge with technological excellence and style. Part of a rich legacy of innovation in high-intensity timekeeping, Prospex continues to celebrate a long history of sports watch excellence with recreations and reinterpretations of landmark achievements.
