Seiko Prospex 24-Jewel Automatic Black PVD Dive Watch with Case Shroud #SRP655

Seiko 24-Jewel Automatic Black PVD Air Dive Watch with Case Shroud #SRP655

Great looking new Seiko dive watch with a new caliber 4R36, 24-jewel automatic (self-winding) movement with hand winding capability. It's nickname on the Internet is "Baby Tuna", although it is hardly a baby at 50.2mm. Includes a day and date display, super-luminous markers and hands treated with Lumibrite, a black dial, screw down crown, uni-directional bezel, scratch resistant hardlex crystal, stainless steel back, and a black shroud (or case guard) to protect the case from dings and scratches.

The dial design has just one objective; maximum legibility, even deep in the ocean where sunlight does not penetrate. The hour markers are large, so as to allow the maximum surface area and depth for Seiko's Lumibrite coating. The hands, too, are wide and easy to read. The deep grooves in the bezel are designed for easy operation, even when diving gloves are worn. The watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 200m going under the water, and is suitable for wearing while scuba diving. The crown has screw-down protection to prevent it from being pulled out by any accidental operation as the water resistance function is secured only when the crown is at its normal position. The precise and secure operation of the uni-directional bezel prevent accidental rotation, so that the time measured is never shorter than the actual elapsed time.
