Seiko unveils a new Prospex SPB439 GMT watch as the latest timepiece to join its Save the Ocean project. It is a limited-edition design and an updated version of the 1968 Diver's Re-interpretation GMT. The new look is adorned with a lustrous textured dial that nods to an icy landscape theme.
The stainless steel case measures 42mm and is joined by a black bezel for a bold tonal contrast which also brings attention to the luster of the dial. The main tone is a silvery white hue with a textured design to replicate the look of ice glaciers. This is then detailed with tonal indices and Lumibrite accenting the hour-minute hands to be easy to read even in dark environments.
