SEIKO Prospex – Save the Ocean
 
From Seiko Watches website – “The Prospex mission: to help protect the world’s oceans now and for future generations, and to secure this legacy for divers everywhere. Seiko Prospex supports various marine conservation activities through its "Save the Ocean" initiative.”
 
Save the Ocean is a line of diving watches introduced in 2018 by Seiko. Save the Ocean line donates a portion of the proceeds to organizations that study and preserve the oceans. One such organization is the Ocean Learning Center of Fabien Cousteau, grandson of the famous underwater explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, with whom Seiko has collaborated on various initiatives. The watches have a design inspired by the streaks of humpback whales and the colors of the depths of the ocean.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
 
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

It will be carefully packed.
