Seiko's day-date automatic caliber and the in-house branded version of the NH36 with stricter quality control and finishing. The additional day wheel over the 4R35 adds the day-of-week complication without changing the movement dimensions. Found extensively in the Seiko 5 Sports and Prospex lines, it offers Seiko's proven reliability with the convenience of day-date display at a mainstream price point.

The community take
Owners widely praise the Seiko Prospex Sea PADI Special Edition for its robust build quality, excellent bezel action, and strong lume that performs well in low light. Reviewers note specific models feature attractive dials, such as the jewel-toned teal with a water pattern or a deep dark blue gradient. Some owners highlight the comfortable wearability and solid bracelets. The 4R36 movement is mentioned with a 41-hour power reserve, while the 6R55 movement offers a 72-hour power reserve and a stated accuracy of +25/-15 seconds per day. One owner finds the multi-lingual date function and divers extension difficult to use, and bracelet adjustment can be initially frustrating. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Seiko Prospex Sea PADI Special Edition highly for its dive watch functionality and attractive dial designs.
