Seiko Prospex Tuna Violet Ocean 1000m SBBN042 LE - 2018
How cool is this Seiko Prospex Tuna 1000m SBBN042 Limited Edition.
Created in 2018 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Seiko’s invention of the world’s first professional quartz diver’s watch, this landmark timepiece is faithfully re-created in design but re-invented with Seiko’s latest technology and materials. The case construction and dial layout are loyal to the original, as are the unique hour markers and the crown, while the water resistance has been increased to 1,000m. The outer case material is zirconia ceramic which is seven times harder than steel protecting the case from shock. It features all the innovations that Seiko brought to diver’s watches in the 1970’s, including the double layer construction with one piece inner case, the L-shaped gasket for helium resistance and the accordion-style strap.
This particular piece is in near mint condition, with only the lightest hints of careful use. The only portion showing any more wear than a near mint example is the PVD buckle which has a scrape as per the images.
Comes with box, instruction manual, warranty booklet and signed card from the Sydney Boutique dated March 2019, hang tags and polishing cloth.
Created in a limited run of 800 pieces, this is a rare piece in spectacular condition - don't miss out.
