The black case expresses the darkness and silence of the night ocean, and the orange color is inspired by the lights that illuminate it.

Japan’s first diver’s watch, launched in 1965. The watch proved its reliability when used in the harsh environment of Antarctica in the 1960s. The new creation is true to its heritage in design, but is updated to the standards of today’s Prospex. The watch is perfect for daily use with a slim profile and the low center of gravity of the case.
