HBC005J Seiko Prospex | 145th Anniversary Limited Edition | Automatic Diver’s Watch
Seiko Watches From New Zealand Stockist: HBC005J / HBC005J1
The Seiko Prospex HBC005J celebrates Seiko’s 145th anniversary with a modern interpretation of the iconic 1965 Heritage Diver’s design. Limited to 4,000 pieces worldwide, this special‑edition diver combines classic tool‑watch functionality with refined finishing and a fresh, contemporary colour palette.
Classic Diver Design, Elevated
The watch features a clean white sunray dial paired with a blue uni‑directional bezel, creating a crisp, high‑contrast look. The solid block colours provide an ideal backdrop for the luminous hands and markers, ensuring excellent visibility in low‑light conditions. While many divers use matte dials, the subtle sunray brushing adds energy and depth when viewed in natural light.
Heritage Case with Modern Performance
Inspired by the original 1965 Diver, the case showcases short, faceted lugs with alternating brushed and polished surfaces. The upgraded 300m water resistance enhances durability, making it a capable companion both underwater and on land.
Reliable 3‑Day Automatic Movement
Inside the 40mm case is the Caliber 6R55, offering a 72‑hour power reserve and a date display positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock. This movement delivers dependable performance for everyday wear and weekend adventures.
A Limited Edition Built for Collectors
With its balanced proportions, handsome colour scheme, and practical specifications, the HBC005J feels right at home in the Prospex lineup. It’s a versatile diver that honours Seiko’s history while offering the reliability and refinement expected from a modern tool watch.

- This watch is pressure rated at 300 meters. This mean it can withstand water pressure equivalent to the pressure experienced at a depth of 300 meters underwater. In practical terms, this level of water resistance makes the watch suitable for most water-related activities, including swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. However, it's important to note that water resistance is tested under laboratory conditions and can be affected by factors such as temperature, depth, and the condition of the watch's seals. Therefore, while a 300m water-resistant watch is highly durable, No Watch should be used in hot water - Spa's showers etc as the hot water expands the air inside the watch breaking the seals and then when it cools it will drag in moisture into the watch movement.
