Seiko introduces Prospex Silverstone limited editions as part of its 145th anniversary releases. The watches feature white dials with blue accents across the dial and bezel elements, using Seiko’s “Seiko Blue” colour theme.
One of the models is based on the 1965 Heritage Diver line -- it features a 40mm stainless steel case, 300m water resistance, and an automatic movement with a 72-hour power reserve. The other model in the set is based on the Prospex Samurai design and features a 41.7mm stainless steel case, 200m water resistance, and an automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve. Both models continue Seiko’s diver watch design language within the Prospex line. Both watches are part of Seiko’s 145th anniversary Prospex releases and are distributed through boutiques and selected retailers globally.
