This limited edition timepiece commemorates 110 years since Japan’s very first wristwatch, created by Seiko in 1913: The ‘Laurel.’

This design of this watch is inspired by the ice of Antarctica, expresses the accumulation of time – linking the Antarctic history of Seiko diver’s watches with the time it takes for a glacier to form into its beautiful structure.

Its three-dimensional dial pattern and colour feature over 2,000 surfaces and have been designed to express the natural formations and pressure the glacier underwent during its long cooling period.

This watch shape is nicknamed by Seiko fans as a ‘turtle’ – its silhouette, side view and watch case back resemble a turtle with its curved comfortable shell. To divers, sea turtles are symbols of good fortune.

The Automatic in-house calibre 6R powered limited edition watch comes with both a five-row bracelet and fabric strap option – with the fabric strap being made 100% of recycled bottles.

Seiko donates proceeds from Save The Ocean models to the PADI Aware Foundation’s Marine Debris programme, the world’s largest underwater clean-up initiative. PADI (The Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is the world’s leading scuba diving training organisation, unifying divers around the globe who share a passion for adventure and love for the ocean. Proceeds from each Seiko Prospex watch is donated to support the PADI Ocean Cleanup campaign.
