Seiko Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Diver Blue Dial SLA043 Watch

The Seiko SLA043 is a re-creation of Seiko's first-ever dive watch, which was originally made in 1965. This Seiko is limited edition, with only 1,700 pieces ever made. 

Features:

• 40 mm Blue Dial 
• Water resistant up to 200m 
• Box-shaped sapphire crystal 
• Lumibrite on hands, indexes and bezel
• Automatic with manual winding capacity movement
• The case of this watch is made of a grade of stainless steel not used before in a diver's watch. Seiko's new Ever-Brilliant Steel takes its name from the brilliant white hue that gives the watch its unique look. This grade of steel is more corrosion resistant than that which is used in most high-end watches today. This material is used extensively in the surfaces, linings, bolts and other components of marine structures and vessels because it resists corrosion in the chloride-rich environment of sea water. Its use in a watch case presents many manufacturing challenges but, thanks to the long experience and innovative techniques of the Seiko team, these challenges were overcome and Ever-Brilliant Steel is now set to bring a new level of durability to the diver's watch.
• The watch is powered by the 8L35 movement which was developed expressly for diver's watches and is assembled by hand at the Shizukuishi Watch Studio.
• The watch is offered in a special box with an additional strap made of blue silicone.
