in a controlled production run of 1,300 with the serial number
engraved on each case-back, reimagines Seiko’s 1965 diver’s

and durability that made it standard equipment on the Japanese
Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), and propelled Seiko into
the forefront of dive watch design. Paying tribute to underwater
archaeology, this reinterpretation features a blue sun-ray dial
with a design inspired by ancient astrolabes, used to find
latitude and time based on the position of the stars & the sun.
