Seiko is bringing the Prospex Blue Tears diver to buyers as a limited-edition watch with a ready-to-wear package. The stainless-steel piece pairs a deep blue sunray dial with a matching rotating bezel, plus oversized hands and markers filled with Lumibrite for easier reading in the dark.
The watch is limited to 1,200 pieces, which gives it the kind of scarcity collectors usually chase. It also comes with a steel bracelet and a dark navy silicone strap, so owners can switch between a dressier metal look and a sportier setup without buying extras.
For collectors, this means the watch lands as a regional chase piece with practical wear built in. The 200 m water-resistance rating and screw-down crown keep it rooted in true dive-watch territory, while the extra strap makes the package feel more complete than a standard release.
