The Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch (ref. spb451j1) is an automatic diver watch, with a 40mm stainless steel case, 13mm thick, powered by the 6R55 movement and a 72-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 300m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $1,300.
The Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch is praised for its refined engineering and updated features, including a 300m water resistance and a 72-hour power reserve from the Caliber 6R55 movement in a 40mm case. Owners note its better build quality and interesting finishing with a mix of polished and brushed surfaces. The "Tranquil Teal" variant features a jewel-toned dial with a rippling-water pattern. However, some owners consider the price too high, and concerns exist regarding the accuracy of the 6R movements, with some reporting theirs run slow. One review notes a reflective dial that impacts legibility. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch for its refined design and improved specifications over previous generations, despite some reservations about movement accuracy and price.
