The Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch (ref. sje117j1) is an automatic diver watch, with a 39.5mm stainless steel case, 12.3mm thick, powered by the 6L37 movement and a 45-hour power reserve.

The Seiko Prospex Marinemaster 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch is praised for its faithful re-creation of the 62MAS design, with reviewers noting improved wearability due to smaller case sizes (38mm to 40mm) and updated bracelets. Specific models feature a stainless steel case with super-hard coating, ceramic bezel, and a tool-free extension system on the bracelet. Accuracy figures vary, with one model rated at -5/+10 seconds per day and another at -10/+15 seconds per day, powered by movements like the Caliber 8L45 or 6L37 offering 72-hour or 46-hour power reserves respectively. Some reviewers point out drawbacks such as an unsigned winding crown, a lack of tool-free micro-adjust on the clasp for certain models, and a secondary GMT function on one variant. The price point, ranging from $2,800 to $3,600, is considered high by some, especially when compared to other Seiko or Grand Seiko offerings.
