The Seiko Prospex LX Line Diver’s watch is a new feather in the cap of Seiko Singapore
It has been more than 50 years that Seiko has been making dive watches after making its first appearance in 1965. Since then, the stylish, versatile, and tough dive watches have been some of the favorite timepieces of watch aficionados. The latest in the line is the Prospex LX line diver’s watches that earned the crown of the best diver watch at GPHG 2019 by beating fierce competition from Ressence, De Bethune and Longines. Accolades and awards are nothing new to Seiko Singapore, but that it continues with the legacy of innovations with the same spirit of excellence for more than half a century only strengthens the trust and confidence in the brand.
The win is significant for the Japanese watchmaker for many reasons. Firstly, the award goes to a Prospex, which is not a premium brand like Grand Seiko. The second and most crucial reason to rejoice is that Seiko watches that belong to the marquee Grand Seiko line now have serious takers despite the high price that they now command. The price is indeed something to talk about, but then you are getting a professional-grade dive watch, which is a lot for the money.
Seiko Prospex LX line
The new watch incorporates the critical aesthetic feature of the Seiko Professional Diver's watch of 1968 and has a bold black bezel with three hands of different sizes. Notably, the watch incorporates some serious technology like 5R Spring Drive caliber. The movement is highly accurate in timekeeping with a deviation of a second per day. The watch is equally resistant to shock and temperature changes regardless of the places you go.
You need not fear for damage when diving deep because the watch is water-resistant up to a depth of 300 meters. It is available with a power reserve display and date display, and to make reading the time easy, the hands have a coating of Lumibrite that improves visibility in poor light conditions. For wearing comfortable wearing the watch comes with a low center of gravity that makes it ideal for everyday wear and suits every wrist.
The looks
Prospex watches are authentic sports watches that you can use on land, in the sky and the sea. The Prospex LX line expresses a new design with a titanium case and bracelet that creates an outstanding balance. The overall appearance underlines its solid link with the Professional Diver’s lineage that started in 1968 and keeps true to its heritage while staying thoroughly modern in portraying it. The upper side of the case has a more pronounced angle that allows the Zaratsu polished surfaces to dazzle more brightly.
The best part of the Diver's watch is its versatile appeal that goes well with anything that you wear, whether you are dressing up for any occasion or want to hang around in your leather jacket. The LX will always look the best part of your attire when you want to make a strong statement with a suit at the office.
