Seiko Prospex: Built for Sea, Land and Sport
Seiko Prospex brings together Seiko's expertise in professional and sports watches, with timepieces designed for diving, outdoor exploration and precision timing.
The collection traces its sporting heritage through some of Seiko's most important watches, including the original Alpinist introduced in 1959, Japan's first diver's watch in 1965 and the landmark Seiko Speedtimer introduced in 1969.
Today, Seiko Prospex includes everything from professional-style diver's watches and rugged automatic sports watches to solar chronographs and versatile outdoor watches.
Seiko Prospex Diver's Watches
Diving is at the heart of the Prospex collection.
Seiko introduced Japan's first diver's watch in 1965, beginning a long history of developing watches for professional and recreational divers.
Modern Seiko Prospex Diver's watches continue this heritage with features depending on the model such as strong water resistance, unidirectional rotating bezels, luminous hands and indexes, screw-down crowns, sapphire crystal and automatic or solar movements.
Popular Prospex diving families include the 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch, 1968 Heritage Diver's Watch, Turtle, Sumo and Samurai, alongside special and limited-edition models.
Whether chosen for diving or everyday wear, Prospex divers are known for their distinctive designs, functionality and strong connection to Seiko's diving history.
Seiko Prospex Alpinist
The Seiko Alpinist traces its origins to the Laurel Alpinist introduced in 1959 as Seiko's first sports watch.
Originally designed with mountain climbers and outdoor enthusiasts in mind, the Alpinist has developed into one of Seiko's most recognisable sports-watch families.
Modern Prospex Alpinist watches combine outdoor-inspired design with versatile styling suitable for both the city and the outdoors. Depending on the model, features can include automatic movements, sapphire crystal, strong water resistance, GMT functionality and an internal rotating compass ring.
For customers looking for a sports watch that is less dive-oriented, the Alpinist offers a distinctive alternative within the Prospex collection.
Seiko Prospex Speedtimer
The Seiko Prospex Speedtimer celebrates Seiko's long history in sports timing and chronograph development.
In 1969, Seiko introduced the original Speedtimer with Calibre 6139, an important milestone in automatic chronograph watchmaking.
Today's Prospex Speedtimer collection reinterprets that sporting heritage through modern chronographs, including popular solar-powered Speedtimer watches as well as mechanical models.
With sporty dial layouts, chronograph functionality and designs inspired by Seiko's historical timing instruments, the Speedtimer is an ideal choice for customers looking for a Seiko sports watch beyond the traditional diver.
Seiko Prospex PADI Watches
Seiko's partnership with PADI – the Professional Association of Diving Instructors – has produced a range of distinctive Prospex PADI Special Edition and Limited Edition watches.
These models combine Prospex diving specifications with colours and design details inspired by PADI and the world of diving.

Automatic, Solar and Quartz Prospex Watches
The Seiko Prospex range is available with several different movement technologies.
Automatic Prospex watches use mechanical movements powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist and form an important part of the Diver and Alpinist collections.
Seiko Prospex Solar watches convert light into electrical energy, making them especially practical for chronographs and sports watches such as the Speedtimer.
Selected Prospex watches also use quartz movements, offering accurate and convenient timekeeping.
Check each individual watch for its movement, water resistance, case dimensions and other specifications.
