IKEPOD Readies Itself for the Oceans With New Seapod Diver
Paying homage to IKEPOD’s 1996 Fabrice Gonet-designed Seaslug.
IKEPOD has just released a dive version of its iconic UFO-shaped watch in a trio of colors.
Keeping the signature rounded pod shape — free from lugs — the Seapod mixes elements of the Duopod/Megapod along with the Marc Newson-designed cult-favorite 1996 Seaslug. The end result is a 46mm (feels like 42mm due to the lack of lugs) dive watch with clear markers, a screw-down crown, and a 12-hour rotating bezel. The Seapod is also water-resistant up to 200m and is powered by a Miyota 9039 automatic movement.
Available in three colors, one of which is a completely blacked-out PVD version, the new Seapod retails for $1,580 for the blue/silver/blue and black/silver/orange versions while the PVD version sells slightly more at $1,690.
