Seiko Prospex SBDX045 (SLA049) Mechanical Diver's Watch - 1970 Heritage Limited Edition

This highly collectible Seiko Prospex SBDX045 (SLA049) is a limited edition mechanical diver’s watch celebrating the 80th anniversary of Naoki Uemura. With only 1,200 pieces worldwide (198 for Japan), it is an ultra-rare model inspired by the iconic 6105-8110 "Captain Willard" diver, a beloved vintage model. This modern reinterpretation features a robust 200M water resistance, automatic movement (Seiko's high-end 8L35 caliber), and a sleek design blending vintage charm with contemporary aesthetics.

The watch showcases a durable case, bracelet, and bezel with minor signs of use, including small scratches, which do not affect functionality. The crystal is free of scratches. The timekeeping is accurate within approximately +5 seconds per day, and the movement has not been serviced, ensuring long-term reliability with proper care. The included silicone strap has been lightly tried on and remains unused, and an additional ArtemStrap FKM rubber strap is also included, offering versatile styling options.

This model is part of the discontinued SBDX047 and SBDC109 series, making it a rare find in the market. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a vintage-inspired diver with modern performance.
