To round out the 55th Anniversary Seiko divers models is the new SPB149J1 that is a new modern reimagined version of the original 62MAS design. The watch is powered by the 6R35 movement that boasts a 70 hour power reserve. The blue dial and orange seconds hand provide a nice contrast. In addition to the bracelet the watch is also provided with a blue silicone strap. This model is a Limited Edition of 5500 units, so while it does give a nod to the 55th Anniversary it should not be difficult to purchase an example if you are looking for one.





It is very nice to see the updated Prospex line up expanding the materials used with the introduction of the new Seiko “Ever-Brilliant Stainless Steel”. The collectors box set is great and if you were considering purchasing multiple models from the 55th Anniversary series it would be seriously worth considering.

We look forward to seeing what else is in store for the Prospex line-up in the future.
