Seiko Launches New Prospex Dive Watches Honoring PADI Partnership

Iconic Japanese Watchmaker Teams Up with Professional Association of Diving Instructors

Seiko deepens its nautical legacy with two striking new models from its acclaimed Prospex line, released in collaboration with the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI).

Tribute to Diving Heritage

The Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver’s SPB501 and the Prospex Samurai SRPL53 are designed to celebrate the world of scuba diving. Both timepieces boast impressive technical specifications and offer excellent value, reinforcing Seiko’s commitment to divers.

A Collaboration Rooted in Conservation

The alliance between Seiko and PADI, initiated nine years ago, has consistently yielded highly desirable timepieces. PADI, a global leader in diver training with approximately 6,000 dive centers worldwide, also champions ocean conservation through its PADI Aware Foundation.

Seiko’s Enduring Bond with the Sea

This partnership has previously resulted in celebrated models, including special editions of the Prospex Turtle and Samurai. These watches are recognized for their durability, advanced features, and distinctive designs, often incorporating PADI’s signature colors.

Seiko’s dedication to the diving community is evident in these new releases, blending its rich history with modern watchmaking innovation. In 2023, the global dive industry supported over 1.1 million jobs and contributed an estimated $43 billion to global GDP, highlighting the importance of marine activities and their related equipment (TDI Industry Report 2024).

The brand invites enthusiasts to explore its collections further via its official boutique.
