It almost goes without saying that Seiko has an incredibly rich back catalog. The brand has produced some of the most iconic watches ever made, and that is especially true when it comes to their many divers. That history began in earnest in 1965 when Seiko introduced what is now known to be their first dive watch. It featured an automatic movement and water resistance of 150m, and it was famously used by members of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition from 1966 to 1969. Dubbed the 62MAS, this watch was a foundational model, and one that would pave the way for future Seiko divers. Today, in celebration of the 55th anniversary of Seiko?s first dive watch, the Japanese brand has unveiled recreations of three historical models, each honoring a specific era of Seiko?s dive watch history. We?ll look at all three below.
