Core Features of the All-New Seiko Prospex Solar Diver’s Watches
The colourway of each model may vary, but the design features are universal across the entire launch. Under a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, each watch exhibits a dial with classic diver’s style indices and highly visible hands. Coated with strong Lumibrite, they ensure that time is always visible; even in pitch-black conditions. In addition to this, each dial features a date aperture at 3 o’clock for enhanced readability. In a classic diver’s watch design, each watch features a unidirectional rotating bezel. Not only does this enhance the overall style but it ensures great safety whilst diving. Moreover, each model features a stainless steel case. Particularly slim, yet extremely durable, it ensures the watch is the ultimate companion for deep sea dives and on-land adventures.
Seiko’s in-house built V157 Solar-powered movement powers each timepiece. For an added touch, the wearer can view the movement through the exhibition case back. Accurate to ± 15 seconds per month and with a power reserve of 10 months at full charge, the movement is as reliable as it is precise. For added convenience, each watch can be charged by any light source. Whether it be through natural sunlight or artificial light, you can remain confident that your watch will never let you down.
