Seiko 140th Anniversary Limited Edition Prospex Automatic Diver’s SLA047
SeikoThe island of Iriomote in Okinawa Prefecture attracts divers from all over Japan and elsewhere.
Its abundant coral reefs teem with marine life but the island’s special charm lies in the primeval and pristine mangrove forests that surround it. Further, Iriomote is home to several species of flora and fauna that are rare and, in some instances, unique to the island. With its reefs, jungle, mangrove forests, beaches, rivers and waterfalls, Iriomote is an island of rich and varied beauty whose verdant nature is reflected in the deep green of the dials in this new series of timepieces.
The two mechanical watches in this Iriomote-inspired series are based on Seiko’s celebrated 1968 diver’s. This one is a 300 meter water resistant, eight beat diver’s watch with a unique onepiece case structure. Suitable for saturation as well as air diving, it is made, assembled and adjusted by the skilled craftsmen and women of Shizukuishi and powered by Caliber 8L35, which was created especially for diver’s watches.
