The Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT (ref. spb381j1) is an automatic diver watch, with a 42mm stainless steel case, 12.9mm thick, powered by the 6R54 movement and a 72-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 200m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $1,500.
The Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT is widely praised for its build quality, finishing, and comfortable wearability, offering good value for its price point. Owners and reviewers highlight the attractive silver/white sunray dial, blue ceramic bezel, and the premium feel of the improved bracelet clasp with excellent micro-adjustment. The Caliber 6R54 movement provides a 72-hour power reserve, and real-world accuracy often exceeds its stated range of +25 to -15 seconds per day, with some owners reporting figures around +3 to +5 seconds per day. However, the caller-style GMT functionality is a point of contention for some, who find the GMT scale difficult to read and prefer a flyer GMT at this price. Some also find the crown position at 4 o'clock undesirable, and a few note a lack of dial contrast or illegibility of the inner bezel.
