Prospex PADI 60th Anniversary Limited Edition

Seiko’s long history in diver’s watches reaches back to when the company created Japan's first diver’s watch in 1965. The following year, in 1966, two American dive enthusiasts founded PADI® to raise training standards and expand access to diving education. Sixty years after its founding, PADI has grown to become the world's largest diving organization. Operating in 183 countries worldwide with over 30 million certifications issued, PADI has greatly expanded the world of diving while actively promoting ocean conservation.

As PADI celebrates its 60th anniversary, the organization and Seiko also mark 10 years of partnership – advancing diver safety, exploration, and a shared commitment to ocean protection. For the past five years, Seiko Prospex has also supported the PADI AWARE FoundationTM, the conservation nonprofit founded by PADI, through its global marine debris initiatives as part of Prospex’s Save the Ocean activities.

The design pays homage to the shared passion for underwater exploration and deep respect for the ocean that unites members of the diving community all around the world. Inspired by the colors of PADI’s 60th anniversary logo, the watch features a striking blue dial and is accented with touches of red at the 6 o’clock position and on the seconds hand. A globe motif derived from the logo stretches across the entire dial. On the unidirectionally rotating bezel, a ceramic insert ensures exceptional scratch resistance while its vivid blue hue enhances the dial design.
