The successor to the 55-year-old mechanical diver's watch, we take a closer look at the latest Seiko Prospex watch equipped with a GMT function.

In recent years, one of the most popular mechanical watches is the diver's watch.

With the excitement over sports watches, manufacturers in Japan and abroad are introducing new models at a rapid pace.

SEIKO PROSPEX has announced a regular model and a limited edition model equipped with a mechanical GMT movement, the first divers' watches from this brand.

Looking back, it was 1965 when Seiko introduced Japan's first diver's watch.

Three years later, the company released a model equipped with the world's highest standard 10 vibrations high-beat movement at the time, water resistant to 300 meters, and has since introduced many watches that are recognized by divers and adventurers around the world for their unique technology.

The latest creation from this history is based on a diver's watch that first appeared in 1968.
