This watch is one of the PADI Special Edition Diver’s watches (PADI:
Professional Association of Diving Instructors). Its shape is
affectionately named ‘Sumo’ by Seiko fans because of its size, shape and
the 12 o’clock marker – it’s a substantially strong looking timepiece.
The dial of this design was influenced by a diver’s underwater view as
the sun reflects and shines on the surface. The light blue colored
minute hand and the scale on the bezel allows high legibility in deep
water. It operates on an in-house mechanical 6R35 caliber movement, 70-
hour power reserve, and is water resistant up to 200m. The case is made
of stainless steel with a super hard coating. The bracelet comes with a
newly refined Diver buckle design. It has sapphire glass, and a date
display on the dial.
