The Seiko Prospex Jaws Special Edition has been created by the brand as a timepiece in collaboration with Universal that celebrates the iconic film's 50th anniversary. The timepiece boasts a 45mm stainless steel case that's 13.2mm in thickness and paired with a textural bezel that leads into a blue ceramic insert. The dial goes from silver to blue in its gradient effect to achieve an oceanic aesthetic, while the embossed silhouette of the shark can only be seen at certain angles to further enhance its illusiveness.
The Seiko Prospex Jaws Special Edition is powered by the Seiko 4R36 caliber automatic movement with 24 jewels and a 41-hour power reserve inside. The watch is available now for $795 but limited to just 5,000 examples worldwide.
