A continued evolution of Seiko's original Diver's Watch
Ever since Seiko’s first diver’s watch was introduced in 1965, the company has continuously pushed back the boundaries of what diver’s watches can offer. This modern re-interpretation continues that evolution, presented on a new specially designed fabric strap manufactured expressly for diver's use. This watch strikes the perfect balance of design and function and embodies the innovative spirit for which Seiko’s diver’s watchmaking is renowned.
The fabric strap fitted to this Dive Watch incorporates a traditional braiding technique from Japan called Seichu, whose rich texture and color complexion is familiar in Japanese culture for their use in fabric designs, as seen in a traditional “obijime,” the decorative cord that holds a Kimono sash in its place. The strap presents a uniquely Japanese aesthetic and texture and is specially manufactured to have a tensile strength nearly four times that of regular Seiko fabric straps. Further, its strength and resistance to degradation caused by exposure to sunlight, meet the demanding standards of Seiko’s diver’s watches and are perfect for use under water.
