About Seiko SPB301J1 Prospex Modern Reinterpretatio of the Diver's 1970 Save the Ocean Special Edition watch:

Saving the ocean

Seiko Prospex supports various marine conservation activities through its "Save the Ocean" initiative to preserve and protect the oceans for future generations and give back to the diving community.

In 1970, Seiko introduced a diver's watch whose case protected the crown at four hours.  Like the original, the SPB301J1 is strong, with exceptional strength and visibility.  This was demonstrated in his expeditions of 1974 and 1976, the Japanese adventurer Naomi Uemura.

About Seiko:

Follow your dreams and keep moving aheadis the philosophy of Seiko's founder: Kintaro Hattori.

Fascinated with Swiss watchmaking, he dreams of being a high-end watchmaker and at just 18 years old creates a watch repair shop in his own home in Kyobashi (Ginza district). Four years later he founded the company K Hattori for repairs and sale of second-hand watches. In 1892, he created the firm Seikosha ("house of precision") manufacturing his own wall clocks and created the first pocket watch, called "Time Keeper" in 1895 or the first Japanese-made alarm clock. In 1913 he created the first wristwatch called "Laurel". His dream of being a true watchmaker is a reality. But the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 destroyed everything. Time doesn't stop, it advances. Hattori started all over again, a year later he was remaking his wristwatch this time under the Seiko brand. He rebuilt the tower clock in Ginza, in 1932 symbolizing the rebirth of Seiko and Tokyo's own city.

Keep moving forward, step by step. Seiko has evolved into technology and the science applied to watchmaking. In 1969, Astron was the first quartz watch. In the 1970s, Seiko is looking for alternatives to quartz with solar technology and later will be the kinetic watch, direct drive movement, chronograph, perpetual calendar, GMT, Astron GPS Solar (2012), Diver's watches and their diving watches. In the late 1990s, they created the Grand Seiko collection with large mechanical calibers such as the 9S and soon after perfection with the Spring Drive system coupled with all these advances and more.
