JAMSTEC

Seiko Prospex actively supports various marine conservation initiatives by contributing to the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) research team, and this watch is set to become part of JAMSTEC’s Arctic research program in 2025.

Seiko and JAMSTEC share a remarkable history of innovation and resilience. In 1983, two professional diver’s watches rated to 600 meters of water resistance were successfully tested on the Shinkai 2000, a research submersible operated by JAMSTEC. In 2014, both automatic and quartz 1,000-meter saturation diver’s watches were mounted on the Kaiko 7000 II, demonstrating exceptional performance by operating flawlessly at depths exceeding 3,000 meters, surpassing their guaranteed specifications.
