The Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT U.S. Limited Edition honors Seiko's landmark 1968 Diver's Watch. It is a controlled production run of 500 pieces. It uses caliber 6R54, Seiko's first mechanical GMT movement created for diving.
The dial has a vertical gradation in blue-green that reflects the view from above and below the water. It has a date calendar, a bronze-tone GMT hand, and large LumiBrite markers and hands. A black ceramic uni-directional rotating bezel with a knurled edge frames the dial. The bezel is made in Japan.
The 24-jewel automatic movement can also be wound by hand. It has a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, the longest of any Seiko mechanical watch. The GMT hand can be set independently in one-hour steps without interrupting the time-of-day hands, so a second time zone is easy to read. The watch follows ISO standards for scuba diving and is water resistant to 200 meters.
