New Seiko 1965 300m Diver (Special Edition)

This piece is a re-interpretation of Japan’s - and Seiko’s - first ever Diver’s watch, released in 1965. This design is a special edition commemorating 100 years of Seiko featuring on a watch dial - the brand name now synonymous with watchmaking innovation.
The original automatic 1965 Diver’s watch marked the beginning of Seiko’s watchmaking pursuit for diving reliability, safety, and professional specifications. From 1966-1969, this watch was worn by members of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition on trips to the South Pole, proving its durability in challenging environments.
For this latest redux, the design is updated with a more sophisticated specification, heightened water resistance, and improved power reserve. Built in a 40mm stainless steel case, the sapphire crystal glass is surrounded by a deep ‘tide’ grey bezel and matching dial, closely resembling the 1965 original. Gold coloured accents further enhance its vintage style. In line with professional ISO Diving specification, the hands and indices are coated in glow-in-the-dark Lumibrite whilst its upright date calendar in a 4.5 o’clock position also add to its legibility. For extra comfort and wearability, the bracelet has updated short pitch links and a shorter buckle. It is also slimmer than previous models, with a 13mm depth.
The in-house built 6R55 automatic movement is accurate to -15/+25 seconds per day with a 72-hour power reserve and 300m water resistance.
This special edition piece is accompanied by an eco-friendly fabric strap, made of 100% recycled plastic bottles.
Prospex is a combination of the words ‘Professional’ and ‘Specifications.’ Seiko Prospex timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable; to meet the high standards required in extreme environments for sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.

    I looked at this today and it could be my daily just to give my sla017 a rest . It is a nice size , feels comfortable on my wrist and could be my first seiko with the 6r movement. My only gripe would be that at this price point i would have liked the crown to be signed. Thank you for sharing this video. Liked and subscribed.

    It would be interesting to see if there are any other substantial updates from the old 6R35 movement aside from a couple of hours on the power reserve. It seems like the SPB143 would have been a home run had it not been for the widespread reports of poor accuracy, wild positional variance, etc, in the 6R35. (I know referring to it as a potential "home run" is a very American cultural reference... curious what the English equivalent would be!) It's comforting to see the one you had regulated pretty well. That's a sign that things could be improving for the better. I wish Seiko would commit to a tighter variance because there is so much fear/uncertainty/doubt circulating where it feels like a lottery where you could win- or lose- big. One of the speculative narratives circulating is that Seiko was aware of some QC flaw at scale in the 6R35 movement and this new movement is their way of quietly addressing it and phasing out the old 6R35. It would be interesting if someone with a watchmaking background had a chance to investigate. It would go a long way in reestablishing confidence in the brand.

    Sorry for not getting back to you for so long , it's getting harder to keep up with all the reply's. I'm pretty sure the new movement is only so they can say 3 days on the dial as it sounds better than 70 hours , I'm guessing they may have increased the length of the spring or thinned the wall of the barrel to get the extra 2 hours. As for a Home Run we use it to even though we don't play base ball but we do have rounders in are which is similar I believe to softball for young kids. Only time will tell if they have improved there accuracy but fingers crossed

I think the problem is going to be the same problem We all know.
