SEIKO PROSPEX The 1965 Diver’s Modern Re-interpretation Model SPB239J

   

Ever since Seiko’s first diver’s watch was introduced in 1965, the company has continuously pushed back the boundaries of what diver’s watches can offer. creations share the same design and specifications as the 1965 and 1970 modern re-interpretations introduced last year in celebration of the 55th anniversary of Seiko’s first diver’s watch. The brown dial and bezel of the 1965 re-interpretation perfectly harmonize with the earth color tones of their fabric straps.

The 1965 Diver’s Watch
The 1965 diver’s watch incorporated an automatic mechanical caliber and delivered 150m water resistance. The watch was designed for maximum reliability and legibility in the harshest conditions and proved its reliability when used in the Antarctic during the 60s and laid the path to the development of future landmark watches.

The fabric straps incorporate a traditional braiding technique from Japan called Seichu. Their strength and resistance to degradation caused by exposure to sunlight, meet the demanding standards of Seiko’s diver’s watches and are perfect for use under water.
In addition, thanks to its unique braiding pattern, the straps have the flexibility and air permeability that ensure maximum comfort on the wrist.

Creations offered with an alternative fabric strap of a different color that can easily be interchanged without any tools, thanks to the watch’s strap structure.
