Helly Hensen works in collaboration with Seiko on the new limited edition Prospex timepiece for the season. It is designed inspired based on Seiko's 1970 Mechanical Divers and the Willard Model. It originally featured a black and flash yellow colorway that is from Helly Hensen's bright Tactician GORE-TEX Race Jacket HH12050 sailing jacket.
Branding that nods to Helly Hensen can be seen along the dial, the crown area, and at the six o'clock position. The words that read 'limited edition' and the watch's serial number are seen accenting the all-black case back. Additional details include the water resistance capabilities up to 200m and the sapphire crystal detail with anti-reflective coating -- it is available exclusively in Japan.
