High Quality Seiko Prospex PADI Special Edition Divers


They made the world’s first titanium diver’s watch in 1975, the first diver’s watch with a ceramic outer case in 1986, and the first Nitrox Dive Computer watch in 2000. Needless to say, high quality Seiko is one of the most respected manufacturers of professional dive watches. Seiko has a rich history making dive watches dating back to 1965.

And so it should come as no surprise that, PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), the world’s most trusted scuba diving training organization, which has issued 24 million certifications – has decided to partner with Seiko to support the global movement of scuba divers coming to protect the world’s oceans, called “Project AWARE.”

To celebrate and promote this partnership, two Prospex PADI Special Editions will be released Fall 2016.
