Seiko pairs the Prospex Marinemaster Save the Ocean HBF003J1 with a black bezel and a mangrove-green dial, giving divers a darker frame than the earlier green-on-green version. The limited watch keeps the ocean theme in view with a deep green face that catches light through a sunburst finish.
That black ceramic bezel makes the dial read cleaner at a glance, while a pink-gold seconds hand adds a quick hit of contrast without softening the watch's tool-watch look. Its 42.6 mm steel case and 300-meter water resistance keep it firmly in serious-dive territory.
Sales start in November across the US, Japan, the UK, and the EU. Seiko is limiting the run to 900 pieces worldwide, with 300 reserved for Japan, so availability stays tight from the outset. Pricing lands at ¥506,000 in Japan. UK and EU tags come in at £3,300 and €3,800.
