Seiko Prospex 1965 Divers Watch SPB143J1
- 23 Jul 2021
Today we are reviewing a watch that has changed global standards when it comes to divers watches, the Seiko Prospex 1965 Modern Re-Interpretation. This watch is inspired by the 1965 Diver's watch, the first 150m Diving watch in Japan. We are proud authorised dealers of Seiko watches and are happy to help you with any questions or enquiries you may have.
The story of Seiko began in 1881 when 21 year-old entrepreneur, Kintaro Hattori, opened a shop selling and repairing watches and clocks in central Tokyo. The Seiko Prospex Collection challenges every limit, in the sky or on land, and is perfect for sports lovers and adventure seekers alike. Seiko constantly strive to bring greater reliability and safety to both professional and recreational divers through their watches.
The case measures in at 40.5mm in diameter with a thickness of 13.2mm. With a lug to lug width of 20.0mm, this piece is perfect for those looking for a smaller dial that catches the eye. This diving watch is water resistance up to an incredible 200 meters meaning you can adventure the great outdoors with absolute peace of mind.
The understated charcoal dial of this watch is beautifully matched with the stainless steel bracelet making it a clear winner in the style department. With the upgraded comfort and higher visibility of the smaller case style, this is the perfect watch for everyday wear.
Beating at the heart of this model is the Calibre 6R35 movement, a self-winding and manual winding mechanical movement. This movement allows a power reserve of an impressive 70 hours. A 2 year manufacturer's warranty is offered with this model.
Overall we think this is an incredible piece that combines functionality, durability and style with a rich history.
