In 1965 Seiko introduced its, and Japan's, first ever diver's watch. With an automatic movement and water resistance to 150m, it proved its reliability when it was used by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition team in the 1960s. This limited edition diver was launched by Seiko to celebrate the 55th anniversary of that first Seiko diver's watch.

The case of this watch is made of Seiko's Ever-Brilliant Steel that gives the watch its unique look with that brilliant white hue. This grade of steel is more corrosion resistant than that which is used in most high-end watches today. This material is used broadly in the surfaces, linings, bolts and other components of marine structures and vessels because it resists corrosion in the chloride-rich environment of sea water. 

The watch is powered by the 8L35 movement, assembled by hand at the Shizukuishi Watch Studio.
