Seiko has unveiled the Prospex Diver’s Watch PADI 60th Anniversary Limited Edition “King Turtle” HBB002, a timepiece that celebrates both PADI’s six decades of diving excellence and a decade of partnership with Seiko. The watch features a bold 45mm stainless steel case with the iconic “King Turtle” silhouette, distinguished by its flowing lines and 4 o’clock crown placement. Its dial is inspired by PADI’s 60th anniversary logo, rendered in a vivid blue with red accents at the 6 o’clock marker and on the seconds hand, while a globe motif stretches across the dial to symbolize global ocean exploration. A ceramic bezel insert enhances durability and scratch resistance, complementing the sapphire crystal with magnifier and anti‑reflective coating.
The HBB002 comes equipped with Seiko’s automatic Caliber 4R36 movement, offering a 41‑hour power reserve and 200m water resistance, making it a reliable companion for professional divers. Lumibrite hands and indexes ensure visibility underwater, while the watch is paired with both a stainless steel bracelet and a high‑strength silicone strap printed with “Professional Association of Diving Instructors.”
Priced at €750 (approx. $810 USD) and limited to 8,000 pieces worldwide, the watch will be available from July 2026 through Seiko Boutiques and select retailers.
