Seiko Prospex 55th Anniversary Limited Edition SLA043J1
Seiko Prospex 55th Anniversary Limited Edition SLA043J1
Seiko dive watches are about as cool as they come. Whether that be the Willard, SLA017 or the Turtle, they have a clear design language all of their own, are tough as nails, and rightly coveted by Seiko collectors, and greatly respected by the watch enthusiasts the world over.
What we have here is a limited edition release from 2020, known as the SLA043J. Based upon the very first Seiko Dive watch, the 62MAS, it features a 39.9mm Zaratsu-polished and brushed Ever-Brilliant steel case with 200m of water resistance. It’s topped with a Uni-Directional ceramic dive bezel with the most delicious action, which surrounds a box sapphire crystal. Underneath this crystal lies a blue anniversary dial with applied markers. Powering it is the 8L35 automatic movement, and its mounted to a silicone strap with tang buckle.
This particular piece presents in TZ Near Mint condition, with a few tiny marks present around the lug holes, some light marks on the crown, and some marks on the rear of the lugs from strap changes. Please see images for full condition details.
Currently keeping time at around +12 secs a day at 280 degrees of amplitude.
Comes with outer sleeve, outer box, inner box, and black Seiko silicone strap.
RRP was $6,995, and the limited run of 1700 pieces is long sold out.
