For true watchmakers, the greatest challenge of all is to create watches for those who love adventure sports. The Seiko Prospex collection features timepieces for adventure seekers on land, in the sea or in the sky. Since making its first diving watch in 1965, Seiko has been exceeding the expectations of those whose sports require watches with truly professional specifications. Since 1965, Seiko Prospex has brought together all Seiko’s sports watch expertise in one collection.
Seiko has long been a watch of choice for adventurers, whose dreams and projects take them to extreme environments where wind, snow, ice and mountains pose challenges to every item of their equipment and not least their watches, whose reliability and performance can literally make the difference between success and failure. In 1965, the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition wore Seiko’s first diver’s watch on their mission. At that time, when navigational aids were rudimentary, an accurate watch that could be used in astronomical observations was vital to such expeditions and the Seiko diver’s watch proved itself to be up to the challenge. It performed well and, as a result, was chosen by the research team for their next three annual expeditions. On land, too, Seiko’s professional specification sports watches have proven their worth, most notably when worn by the climbers of the Japan Alpine Club who conquered Mt. Everest in 1970. Today, as the popularity of adventure sports grows, Seiko Prospex is the trusted companion of many who push themselves to the limits on land, in the sea and in the air.
