The tradition of professional divers meets a new dimension of global use.
With the new Seiko Prospex Diver’s Watch 1968 Heritage GMT, the Japanese brand evolves one of its most iconic designs by introducing the GMT function to the Prospex dive watch line for the first time.
This results in two complementary interpretations: one classic and timeless, the other bolder and more contemporary, both united by a strong technical identity and a deep connection to Seiko's history.

An iconic design, reinterpreted
The aesthetic is directly inspired by the celebrated 1968 diver, one of the most representative models in the history of Japanese dive watchmaking.
The 42mm case maintains solid but well-balanced proportions, with a lowered center of gravity that significantly improves wearability on the wrist. The surfaces alternate between brushed and polished finishes, while the unidirectional rotating bezel with ceramic insert ensures scratch resistance and maximum legibility even in the most extreme conditions.
The HBC002J1 model stands out with its black dial paired with a coordinated bezel, embodying the purest essence of the classic diver.
The HBC001J1, on the other hand, introduces a refined green hue, modern and distinctive, designed for those seeking a stronger character without sacrificing functionality.
The GMT revolution in Prospex divers
The real novelty is the 6R54 automatic caliber, an evolution of the well-known 6R35.
This movement introduces the GMT function, allowing the reading of a second time zone thanks to the dedicated hand, a complication increasingly requested by travelers or those who desire a versatile watch beyond the underwater environment.
Alongside this function, the caliber guarantees solid performance: a power reserve of approximately 72 hours and the typical reliability of Seiko manufacturing, designed to accompany intensive and prolonged use.
Professional performance, contemporary soul
These new Prospex are not just aesthetic evolutions, but true professional instruments.
Water resistance up to 300 meters confirms their diving vocation, while the new bracelet with rapid adjustment improves comfort and adaptability, even over a wetsuit. The hands and indices with LumiBrite treatment ensure excellent legibility in all light conditions.
Every detail is designed for real, uncompromising use, while maintaining an aesthetic versatile enough to adapt to daily wear.
Two souls, one identity
Black represents tradition, the purity of the diver tool watch.
Green introduces personality, contemporaneity, and a distinctive touch.
Two different choices, yet both faithful to the Prospex spirit: instruments designed to push boundaries, above and below the surface.
