Prospex Marinemaster celebrates
50 years of Seiko’s diver’s watch excellence
50 years of Seiko’s diver’s watch excellence
It was in 1965 that Seiko made its first ever diver’s watch. Half a century on, the list of Seiko’s achievements in this most challenging of arenas for watchmakers is long and distinguished. From the first use of a titanium case for a diver’s watch to the invention of the accordion-style strap and the two layer case to the design of dial markers and hands of unparalleled legibility, Seiko has been a pioneer in the field, and we are proud that the ISO 6425 standard was developed with Seiko’s own standard as its base. Today, Seiko’s diver’s watches are the world’s benchmark for excellence.

Two new 2015 Marinemaster models offer new advances
The Marinemaster series has long been renowned for the security and precision that the professional diver requires. Two new timepieces in the Marinemaster series embody the very best of Seiko’s 50 years of experience in serving the needs of divers and once again push back the boundaries of diver’s watch technology.

The Marinemaster Professional 1000m Diver’s
Like its 1975 predecessor, the new Marinemaster Professional 1000m Diver's has the two-layer case construction that is now the trademark of Seiko’s professional diver’s watches. Thanks to the strength of the inner case structure, the specially designed L-shaped gasket and the screw-down glass fixing ring, the watch is effectively impermeable to helium and can be safely used for saturation diving to great depths.
The use of ceramic for the outer shell enhances shock resistance and also prevents any unintentional rotation of the bezel. In September 2014, Seiko professional diver’s watches of the same case construction were subjected to the most extreme test imaginable. Affixed to the exterior hull of KAIKO 7000 II, a remotely operated undersea research vehicle, they performed perfectly down to a depth of 3,000m.

This new creation incorporates a mechanical caliber specially adjusted for a diver’s watch. The movement is caliber 8L35 and it is made and assembled, as is the complete watch, by Seiko’s leading craftsmen at the Shizuku-ishi Watch Studio. The hands and markers are coated with a new version of Seiko’s Lumibrite, which glows for 60% longer than in the past. The strap is made of extra-strength silicone for greater durability.

The Marinemaster Professional 1000m Hi-Beat 36000 Limited Edition
This is a diver’s watch worthy of a fifty year anniversary. Its design echoes that of Seiko’s very first hi-beat diver’s watch from the 1960’s, but its specifications are the most advanced in the field. It has a one-piece titanium case and, thanks to this, the L-shaped gasket and other features, it is impermeable to helium and suitable for saturation diving. The rotating bezel is securely fixed to the case with four screws next to the 12 and 6 o’clock positions.
