Seiko Prospex Sea 1970 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition

The Seiko Prospex Sea 1970 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition is praised for its beautiful design and refinement over previous models, featuring vertically textured glacier-inspired dials. Owners, however, consider the €1500 RRP too high, suggesting a price closer to €900-€1000, noting the aluminum bezel insert instead of ceramic. Some owners report the 6R movement runs slow. On balance, owners find the Seiko Prospex Sea 1970 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition beautiful and a refinement, but the price and aluminum bezel are points of contention.

Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch

The Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch is praised for its refined engineering and updated features, including a 300m water resistance and a 72-hour power reserve from the Caliber 6R55 movement in a 40mm case. Owners note its better build quality and interesting finishing with a mix of polished and brushed surfaces. The "Tranquil Teal" variant features a jewel-toned dial with a rippling-water pattern. However, some owners consider the price too high, and concerns exist regarding the accuracy of the 6R movements, with some reporting theirs run slow. One review notes a reflective dial that impacts legibility. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch for its refined design and improved specifications over previous generations, despite some reservations about movement accuracy and price.
