To commemorate the 60th anniversary of Seiko diver's watches, a limited-edition "1965 Heritage" model of the 6R5 series diver's watch has been released, featuring the traditional wave mark on the dial. This special dial pattern offers a sporty and dynamic interpretation of the traditional wave mark. The "wave" mark, originally conceived in 1962 as the symbol of high-quality water-resistant watches (over 50m), was later adopted for the case back of the world's first titanium 600m saturation diving model, released in 1975, as Seiko's first professional diver's watch. Since then, it has proudly graced the case back of all Seiko diver's watches as a symbol of their reliability and technical expertise. Using this traditional wave mark as a motif, a dynamic and sporty dial pattern has been developed that combines the rugged seascape with the spirit of "Keep Going Forward." This limited-edition model embodies the 60-year history of Seiko diver's watches, which have weathered countless rough seas alongside professional divers and adventurers around the world. High quality and easy to operate, new slide adjuster type strap that allows you to adjust the size around your wrist.
This is the first time that a watch has been equipped with a chronograph movement. The case back bears the words "LIMITED EDITION" and the serial number "0001/6000-6000/6000," marking the limited edition model. / Caliber: 6R55 / Power reserve: Approximately 72 hours when fully wound / Accuracy: +25 seconds to -15 seconds per day / 24 jewels / Stop-seconds function / Water resistance to 300m (for air diving) / Calendar (date) function / Lumibrite: Yes (hands, indexes, and bezel) / Magnetic resistance: Yes / "LIMITED EDITION" inscription on case back / Serial number engraved on case back / Screw-down case back / Unidirectional rotating bezel / Screw-lock crown / Double-lock clasp / Band adjustment: C-ring / Made in Japan / Limited to 6000 pieces (2000 pieces in Japan) / ＜Note: Information about the original model＞ / In 1965, Seiko released Japan's first diver's watch. Since 1966, Seiko has donated its watches to the Antarctic Research Expedition four times as equipment for wintering members. Seiko divers' watches have since been used by many adventurers and explorers in all sorts of harsh environments on Earth, including the Arctic, Antarctic, and Mount Everest, solidifying their reliability.
This model is not only a diver's watch, but also the starting point for Seiko's development of specialty watches, which are related to adventure watches and pilot watches.
