The overall design of this watch is inspired by the Seiko 1968 Divers 300m watch which was powered by the highest of world standards hi-beat calibre and was worn for the first-ever Japanese Mount Everest expedition.
In this modern version, several technical specifications have been upgraded and updated. The watch features the high-grade 8L35 mechanical calibre which was specially designed for divers watches. Consisting of 192 parts created with precise machining techniques, this timepiece is hand-assembled and adjusted by watchmakers at the Shizukuishi Watch Studio in Morioka in the north of Japan.
The case, bezel and crown are all made from Seikos exclusive Ever-Brilliant Steel with its brilliant white hue, this grade of steel is more corrosion resistant than that which is used in most high-end watches today.* To further ensure the watchs durability, the crown is not screwed directly into the case but locked into a separate component that is built into the case and so can be more easily replaced.
