Description and Specifications

Seiko Watches From New Zealand Stockist: HBC001J

A modern evolution of Seiko’s iconic 1968 diver, this GMT edition blends heritage styling with upgraded professional‑grade performance. Powered by the reliable Calibre 6R54, it tracks two time zones with ease and now boasts an impressive 300m water resistance, making it ready for serious diving or everyday wear.

The case mirrors the sharp, purposeful lines of the 1968 original, complete with mirror‑finished sides and a unidirectional bezel designed for confident grip. A newly engineered clasp offers six micro‑adjustments (approx. 15mm total), ensuring a perfect fit whether you're diving or on the move.

A premium sports watch built for durability, comfort, and timeless style — true to its heritage yet fully modern in execution.

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.
