Story
A special-edition diver’s watch commemorating the Prospex - PADI partnership
While the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) was spearheading standardized training protocols in the early ‘60s, Seiko was unveiling essential tech that would help divers reach new depths with safety and precision. It was only a matter of time before the two charted a course for a new era of underwater safety and enjoyment.
Designed in 2016 to commemorate their partnership, the Special-Edition Prospex Automatic Dive Watch combines PADI’s official colors and branding on the dial and bezel with Seiko’s renowned titanium casing and in-house automatic caliber 4R36 movement to create a timepiece that echoes the adventurous spirit and reliability that both entities represent.
