Seiko Prospex ‘1968 Reinterpretation’ Black Series LE

Description

The Black Series. A concept of “night vision.”

The Green Lumibrite Pro shines brightly on the black dial, giving the impression of the view through a night-vision scope.

The watch’s slim black case is based on 1968’s reference 6105-8000 diver’s watch, a robust yet elegant Seiko classic whose flowing design inspired many iconic diver’s watches that followed. This model is powered by the Caliber 6R35, delivering 70 hour power reserve.

This model features long-lasting bright Green Lumibrite Pro on the hands, indexes, and bezel. The lume shines a vivid green wherever you are, even in the darkest places. The black dial keeps reflection to a minimum, ensuring the highest level of legibility.

Seiko Prospex challenges every limit, with a collection of timepieces for sports lovers and adventure seekers whether in the water, in the sky or on land. Since launching Japan’s first diver’s watch in 1965, Seiko’s innovative technology has changed global standards. Seiko is constantly striving to bring ever greater reliability and safety to both professional and recreational divers.

From the first diver’s watch released in 1965, Seiko has been exceeding expectations for divers with its innovative technology. The first watch in a long lineage of diving instruments, it was launched in 1965 under the reference number 6217-8000, which is mostly known in the collecting community as the 62MAS – MAS being an acronym for “autoMAtic Selfdater”. A timepiece that guides you through the challenges in the deep blue.
