Description
The Seiko Prospex SPB385J1 Seiko Watchmaking 110th Anniversary Save the Ocean GMT LE is part of the collection's Sea line. Distinguished by an intricately textured ice-blue dial, this watch captures the power of the polar glaciers that shape the landscapes and seascapes of the Arctic and Antarctic, where Seiko’s reputation for reliable and durable watches was forged in the 1960s and ‘70s when adventurers and researchers wore them on expeditions to the North and South Poles.
The GMT hand can be set independently in one-hour increments without interrupting the time-of-day hands and allows the wearer to see, at a glance, the time in a second time zone. The Seiko Prospex SPB385J1 Seiko Watchmaking 110th Anniversary Save the Ocean GMT LE incorporates 20ATM of water resistance, a highly legible Lumibrite-equipped dial, and a unidirectional bezel in scratch-resistant ceramic. The case design is inherited from the 1968 original, and the case sides are mirror finished. The edge of the unidirectionally rotating bezel offers easy control. The watch has a stainless steel case with super-hard coating and appears on a new three-link stainless steel bracelet that has a slim profile that allows it to sit securely and comfortably on the wrist.
The Seiko Prospex SPB385J1 Seiko Watchmaking 110th Anniversary Save the Ocean GMT LE comes with an extra strap made entirely of recycled plastic bottles. It was created using a traditional Japanese braiding technique called Seichu.
A limited edition of 4,000 pieces.
