Seiko Watch Prospex Glacier Save the Ocean 1965 Re-Interpretation SPB297J1. Prospex Glacier Special Edition 'Save the Ocean' 1965 Re-interpretation

This specific design is inspired by Seiko's 1965 Diver’s watch – Japan's first ever Japanese 150m Diving watch, worn by members of the Japanese Antarctic Expedition from 1966 until 1969.

This 'Save the Ocean' Special Edition, inspired by the ice of Antarctica, expresses the accumulation of time - linking the Antarctic history of Seiko diver's watches with the time it takes for a glacier to form into its beautiful structure. The dial pattern and colour express the natural formations and pressure the glacier underwent during its long cooling period. Glaciers formed during the ice age, approximately 150 to 3 million years ago.

Prospex is a combination of the words ‘Professional’ and ‘Specifications.’ These timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable within extreme or everyday environments, for experts, sports lovers and adventure seekers alike. Since launching Japan’s first diver’s watch in 1965, Seiko’s innovative watchmaking has changed global dive watch standards.

Seiko donates a portion of proceeds from Save The Ocean models to the PADI Aware Foundation's Marine Debris programme, the world's largest underwater clean-up initiative.
