 Seiko Prospex the Black Series Limited Editions

The Black Series takes a fascinating step forward with a lineup of three new watches featuring a Lumibrite variant that brings a long-lasting bright green look to the hands and indexes. Because the color green is most noticeable in the dark, and because the deep gray color of the dials minimizes unwanted light reflection, these watches offer the highest degree of legibility in the dark.

In addition to their 'night vision' qualities, the watches in this series also have a water resistance of 200 meters. They feature sapphire crystal and offer a choice of designs tailored for divers and adventure seekers.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO Very popular since its inception and now in its third year of limited edition release, the Seiko Prospex Black Series was originally inspired by the mysterious world of night diving. The green lumibrite colouring on the markers and hands is designed for increased visibility in the dark world of the night seas, allowing time to be read clearly in dark conditions.

• This practical compact diver’s watch with sapphire glass is conveniently solar-powered; the watch charges from both natural and electric light.

This specific design is inspired by Seiko’s 1965 Diver’s watch – Japan’s first ever Japanese 150m Diving watch, worn on Japanese Antarctic Expeditions until 1969.

• This watch shape is nicknamed by Seiko fans as a ‘Samurai’ – because of its angular shaped design which looks as if it were sliced by a Japanese Samurai sword.

ADAPT YOUR LOOK WITH THE NEW “RACING GREEN” BIG PILOT’S WATCH 43 AND A SELECTION OF RUBBER STRAPS IN EXCITING NEW COLOURS

Schaffhausen, 27 June 2022 – After launching its new TOP GUN collection at Watches and Wonders in spring, IWC Schaffhausen continues to bring refreshing new colours to the wrist. The Swiss luxury watch manufacturer proudly presents a new version of the Big Pilot’s Watch 43 in a stainless steel case with a “racing green” dial and matching rubber straps. The brand is also introducing a new selection of colourful rubber straps. Thanks to the EasX-CHANGE® system, they can be fitted on many of IWC’s Pilot’s Watches, bringing more versatility to the collection than ever before.

2022 is a year of colour for IWC Schaffhausen. In April, the Swiss luxury watch manufacture launched its “Colors of TOP GUN” collection with chronographs in striking green and white ceramic. Now, IWC reveals the new Big Pilot’s Watch 43 (Ref. IW329306). This Big Pilot’s Watch impresses with a green dial and a matching rubber strap.

The unique shade of green is inspired by the “racing green” hue used to paint British racing cars since 1903. Rhodium-plated hands with luminescence make the dial easier to read at night. The timepiece is powered by the IWC-manufactured 82100 calibre movement, featuring Pellaton winding with ceramic components and a power reserve of 60 hours.

In addition, IWC is introducing a carefully curated selection of coloured rubber straps. These exceptionally durable straps which can be worn in any situation will be available in ten colours: black, blue, red, brown, yellow, green, grey, orange, light blue and olive green.
