Seiko Enhances Its Top Dive Watch
Seiko has launched a limited‑edition version of its Prospex Marinemaster dive watch, the Save the Ocean HBF003, featuring a distinctive green sunray dial inspired by mangrove forests and a pink gold‑colored seconds hand. The 42.6 mm stainless‑steel case retains the robust platform of the Marinemaster line, offering 300 m water resistance, a ceramic bezel, date window, and a tool‑free bracelet adjustment system, while the automatic Caliber 8L45 movement provides a 72‑hour power reserve and precise timing. Only 900 pieces will be produced worldwide, and the watch will be sold through Seiko boutiques alongside the brand’s ongoing Save the Ocean initiative. Although official pricing has not been announced, the standard Marinemaster model retails for about $3,600 in the US, suggesting the limited edition may command a premium. The combination of the vibrant dial, high‑quality components, and environmentally themed branding positions the HBF003 as a noteworthy addition to Seiko’s dive‑watch collection.
