Seiko

Seiko's upgraded automatic caliber offering a substantial 70-hour power reserve, nearly double the 4R35 it replaces in higher-end Presage and Prospex models. The extended reserve is achieved through a longer mainspring while maintaining the same 21,600 vph beat rate. Accuracy is tightened to -15/+25 seconds per day compared to the 4R35's wider tolerance. Represents Seiko's push to compete with Swiss movements offering 80-hour reserves.

03The community take

Owners talk.

“

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.
