1968 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition. Designed for those who treat life as the ultimate adventure, the Seiko Prospex line meets every challenge with technological excellence and style.

Today, it advances that unique history in support of the Seiko "Save the Ocean" campaign, dedicated to marine conservation.
