Seiko Prospex HBB002 PADI 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Automatic Diver's Watch

Celebrate two milestones in the world of professional diving with the Seiko Prospex HBB002 PADI 60th Anniversary Limited Edition. Created to honour 60 years of PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) and a decade of partnership between Seiko and PADI, this exclusive timepiece blends iconic Japanese craftsmanship with authentic diving heritage.

Built on Seiko's legendary "King Turtle" platform, the HBB002 combines rugged performance, exceptional reliability and a distinctive commemorative design. Limited to only 8,000 pieces worldwide, this special edition is a highly collectible watch for enthusiasts, divers and Seiko collectors alike.

The instantly recognisable cushion-shaped stainless steel case measures 45mm, providing exceptional wrist presence while maintaining the ergonomic comfort that has made the Turtle one of Seiko's most beloved dive watches. The signature 4 o'clock screw-down crown protects against accidental impacts while enhancing wearing comfort during everyday use and underwater adventures.

The striking electric blue sunburst dial features a subtle globe pattern inspired by the official PADI 60th Anniversary logo, symbolising the worldwide diving community. Bright red accents on the sweeping seconds hand and the "Diver's 200m" text create a dynamic contrast while paying tribute to PADI's iconic branding.

A matching blue ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel delivers excellent scratch resistance and precise dive timing. Covering the dial is a premium sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, ensuring exceptional clarity in bright sunlight and underwater environments. A convenient magnified day-date display at 3 o'clock provides enhanced legibility.

Powering the watch is Seiko's proven Calibre 4R36 automatic movement, renowned for its durability and dependable performance. Featuring 24 jewels, manual winding capability, hacking seconds and approximately 41 hours of power reserve, it is engineered for years of reliable service.

Designed as a true ISO-standard diving instrument, the HBB002 offers 200 metres of water resistance, a screw-down crown, screw case back and strong magnetic resistance. Lumibrite-coated hands and markers provide outstanding visibility in low-light and underwater conditions.

The watch comes fitted with a solid stainless steel bracelet featuring a secure three-fold clasp with push-button release, safety lock and diver's extension. Also included is a premium black high-strength silicone dive strap printed with the full Professional Association of Diving Instructors logo, allowing quick changes between everyday wear and diving use.

Whether worn as a professional diving companion or appreciated as a limited-edition collector's piece, the Seiko Prospex HBB002 represents the perfect combination of heritage, functionality and timeless design. It is a watch built not only to explore the ocean, but also to celebrate the passion and adventure shared by divers around the world.
