The Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver’s GMT SPB519 timepiece is the brand's latest model slated to hit the brand's boutiques starting in June in celebration of its 60th anniversary. The watch is rated to deliver 300-meters of water resistance, while the elevated finish helps to set it apart from the blue wave-stamped dial. The watch is paired with large markers and hands that are each filled with Lumibrite to enhance after dark legibility.
The Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver’s GMT SPB519 timepiece has a 42mm stainless steel case that hides the brand's in-house 6R54 caliber movement and is rated to deliver 72-hours of power reserve. The watch is priced at €1,900 and, while ready for the watch, is perfected for everyday wear.
