Seiko Prospex introduces a new interpretation of its 1965 diver’s watch inspired by the world of underwater archaeology. The patterned dial of the new SLA065J1 is reminiscent of a marine astrolabe, an ancient navigational instrument that is considered one of the most common artifacts found at underwater archaeological sites. The design captures the intricacy of the astrolabe and conveys the spirit of adventure of those who explored the high seas in a bygone era. The chamfer between the upper case and the side of the case, as well as the surface around the bezel display, are polished by Zaratsu to a distortion-free mirror finish for modern clarity. The silicone strap ensures durability and comfort on the wrist. This model is powered by the prestigious caliber 8L35 and is available in a limited edition of 1,300 pieces worldwide.
