Seiko Prospex Special Edition 1968 Recreation \'Dark Green Sunset\' Automatic Green Dial Silver Stainless Steel Men\'s Watch SPB105J1 RRP £980   History: The SPB105J1 is a recreation of the 1968 Seiko MM200 diver\'s watch. At the time, the 1968 model was the highest of world standards hi-beat caliber (10 vibrations per second). Increasing the number of vibrations in the balance, Seiko used the new driving system: Self-winding type with manual winding mechanism. Also, due to the green dial which has been so nicknamed the \'dark green sunset\' has a striking similarity to the well known Rolex submariner, meaning this watch has been fused from two of the greatest diving watches of all time. Style: A green dial which has been so nicknamed the \'dark green sunset\' due to its sunbrushed dial. The hands and indexes have a golden surround as well as the ever present Seiko logo and the Prospex logo. As mentioned, this has a resemblance to the Rolex submariner piece which is perhaps the most well known timepiece globally. Surrounding the dial is a thick silver stainless steel case as well as dual-curved sapphire crystal glass which provides it with both protection and class. Ontop of the case is a unidirectional diving bezel which displays in increments of 10. Finally, a Rolex three link oyster style stainless steel bracelet can be fastened using a deployment clasp. Functions:   This deploys an incredible 6R15 automatic movement. This movement has an incredible 50 hour power reserve which means you are able to take it off your wrist for the weekend whilst you relax. On the dial is a simplistic date window which replaces the 3 o\'clock index again powered by the automatic movement. Both the indexes and hands are coated in LumiBrite which is a luminiscent material, allowing for easy visibility at night or at the depths of the ocean. This watch has a water resistance of 200 metres, making it suitable for diving.

The Brand: Seiko Seiko’s 135-year history has been marked by a ceaseless determination to innovate in every aspect of the watchmaker’s art.  By embracing this ethos, Seiko has been responsible for a string of industry-leading advances in the technology of time. Notably, the creation of the world’s first quartz watch in 1969. Or equally impressive the creation of the world’s first TV watch in 1982. And even more relevant today, with our abhorrent use of non-renewable energy sources, Seiko’s Kinetic. This watch had the ability to generate its own power from the movement of the wearer, it was released in 1988. The listed technological developments serve as evidence to illustrate the revolutionary impact which Seiko has had on the watchmaking world. They are also remarkably unique in that they manufacture every aspect of every watch in-house. They even grow their own quartz crystals and sapphires, hence why Seiko are renowned for being watchmaking experts.
