SPB501J1
Dive with purpose with the Seiko Prospex SPB501J1 1965 Heritage Diver's PADI Special Edition.
This exceptional timepiece celebrates Seiko's partnership with PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) through a stunning green dial and eco-conscious design. Inspired by Seiko's legendary 1965 diver's watch, the SPB501J1 combines vintage aesthetics with modern 300-meter dive capability, sustainable materials, and the robust 6R55 automatic movement, creating a watch that honors both diving heritage and ocean conservation.
Key Features:
• Vibrant green dial honoring PADI's ocean conservation mission
• Seiko 6R55 automatic movement - 72 hours power reserve
• 40.5mm stainless steel case with vintage-inspired proportions
• Professional 300m water resistance - ISO-certified diver's watch
• Unidirectional rotating bezel with luminous pip
• Lumibrite hands and markers for exceptional low-light visibility
• Box-shaped sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating
• Includes both stainless steel bracelet and eco-friendly recycled fabric strap
• Screw-down crown for enhanced water protection
• PADI Special Edition branding on dial and case back
Why This Watch Stands Out:
Built on Seiko's iconic 1965 diver's watch design, the SPB501J1 brings vintage dive watch aesthetics into the modern era with professional-grade performance. The PADI partnership adds meaningful purpose through ocean conservation awareness, while the included recycled fabric strap demonstrates Seiko's commitment to sustainability.
The 6R55 calibre delivers proven reliability with an impressive 72-hour power reserve, and the compact 40.5mm case ensures comfortable all-day wear whether diving or on dry land.
Perfect for divers, PADI members, vintage watch enthusiasts, eco-conscious collectors, and anyone who values heritage dive watch design combined with ocean conservation values.
