Hello blog readers.

I am a Seiko staff member of the Seiko-certified global core shop Eye Isuzu G-Time, a watch store in Kagawa Prefecture.

A limited model of the hottest Seiko Prospex has finally appeared! !

Domestic first diver's watch first diver reproduction model SBDX039

2020 marks the 55th anniversary of Seiko's development of Japan's first diver's watch .

Introducing a limited edition model suitable for the finale of this memorable anniversary year.



As a reprint model of the first diver, a limited model appeared this summer as well.

I heard that it was sold out immediately nationwide, including our store.

This limited model uses Ever Brilliant Steel as the case material, just like the previous salon limited model.

It is a material with strong corrosion resistance that can maintain its beauty even after using the watch for many years.



Also, the previous model was ¥715,000 (including tax) , but this time the limited model is ¥528,000 (including tax) .

The big difference in this amount is in the difference in movement .

Changed the installed movement from 8L55 to 8L35.

Speaking of the difference in the performance of the movement

It is about dropping the frequency from 10 vibrations to 8 vibrations.

A higher frequency has the advantage of more stable accuracy, but it also has the disadvantage of faster wear of parts, so it is difficult to say which is better.

This movement is produced at the Shizukuishi Watch Studio, which handles movements for Grand Seiko.

Only the best skilled craftsmen in Seiko are enrolled.

From the exterior to the interior, it combines the beauty and durability suitable for modern luxury aircraft.

The deep blue dial is reminiscent of the dark and deep seas of Antarctica, and the more you look at it, the more you will be sucked into it.

You can see Seiko's passion for manufacturing even from the carefully hairline finished case.



The size is 40mm , which is very easy to handle.

Impeccable SBDX039,,,,

Isn't it a finish that can be said to be a model for watches ?

The fact that a replacement belt is included in a special limited edition box is also a great point for users.



I often talk with customers at the store, but the 55-year-old model is still attractive to so many people without fading.

Even in this world full of things, there aren't many things that are that attractive.

A first diver who continues to run at the forefront of wristwatches.

Why don't you consider it for this anniversary year?

Introducing the second limited model.

A model that can not be removed when talking about the history of Seiko Divers with the first diver,

It is a reproduction modern arrangement model of the so-called second diver .



This model is also called "Uemura Diver" because it was used by Naomi Uemura, a world-famous adventurer.

The unique and characteristic streamlined form and tough specs have been loved by many people around the world since its release in 1970.



Naomi Uemura is an adventurer who was the first Japanese to climb Mount Everest and the first in the world to climb five continents.



This second diver is the model that such a great adventurer trusted.



This reprint model faithfully reproduces the original case design while updating the specs to a more modern style.

The 6R35 movement inside boasts a power reserve of 70 hours , so even if you leave it on the weekend, you can wear it immediately on Monday.

In addition, it is possible to maintain a beautiful state for a long time by Seiko's unique surface processing technology diamond shield.

While retaining the good old design loved by adventurers, it is also extremely practical.



It is a special specification that comes with a replacement strap as well as the rarity of 5500 pieces worldwide .

The characteristic second hand on the trendy blue dial will never let you feel bored.

A heritage model that embodies the history of Seiko Divers.

Please consider it.
