Seiko Prospex Automatic PADI Dive Watch with Blue Dial and Strap #SBDC055

The new Seiko Prospex PADI Diver SBDC055 is based on the design of the 1965 original Seiko 62Mas (ref. 6217) dive watch, but it has been up-dated in functions and performance to a PADI approved dive watch. The case has been updated to be larger, stronger and more modern style. Crafted in stainless steel, it now measures 42.6mm in diameter and 13.8mm in height. The captivating (wave-pattern) blue dial has large embossed indices filled with strong LumiBrite luminous material. The new hands are quite striking with a brilliant red sword hand for the minutes, a large arrow for the hours, and the Seiko lollipop seconds hand. The uni-directional dive bezel has been blue ion plated to really make this watch stand out.

Scratch resistance is enhanced with Seiko’s DiaShield coating on the case. DiaShield is about 2-3 times harder than Stainless Steel. And, the slightly domed (anti-reflective) sapphire resists scratching and provides a clear view of the gorgeous dial and hands. Inside the case is an automatic Calibre 6R15 movement which beats at 3Hz and has an ample 50 hours of power reserve when fully wound. Accuracy is -15 / +25 seconds/day.

Comes on a new Seiko soft and pliable blue rubber dive strap. It includes manual and a Seiko box.

Awesome dive watch!	November 13, 2018
Reviewer: K Hoferman from Des Moines, IA United States

I have a lot of Seikos, but this is the most beautiful face by far! This is my first 6R15 movement, and so far am very happy with it. I broke down and bought the very hard to find matching DiaShield bracelet from Gnomon Watches, M01X331H0, and what a beauty the whole package is now. Love the blue silicon strap it came with, but will keep the bracelet on most of the time; expensive, watch & bracelet, but well worth it.
As always, a pleasure doing business with Long Island Watch!

This PADI diver is beautiful	June 21, 2018
Reviewer: Joe Sullivan from Hockley, TX United States

I really like this watch. Everything about it is excellent. The blue/black dial, the blue on the bezel edge, the lume and the case size is perfect to me. I even like the stock rubber strap, it is very soft and comfy. If you love diver watches like me, then this one is a great addition to your collection.
