A US-exclusive diver inspired by glacial ice formations
Reserved exclusively for collectors in the United States, this new Seiko Prospex "Ice Diver" is inspired by the symphony of texture and color as light reflects off the majestic glacial ice formations found in the world's polar extremes.
This new Prospex dive watch continues the traditions of Seiko's mastery of timekeeping instruments in extreme environments, while paying tribute to legendary Japanese adventurer Naomi Uemura conquering Mt. Everest wearing a Seiko 6105 diver in 1970.
Longtime fans of the iconic Seiko 6105 diver (also nicknamed "Captain Willard" by many North American collectors) will appreciate the Ice Diver's familiar cushion-shaped silhouette, particularly its adherence to the thin 42mm case silhouette and 200 meters of water resistance. However, this new reference upgrades the Sumo with Seiko's 6R35 automatic movement (with its 70-hour power reserve), a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a colorful and textured "ice" dial.
