Seiko Prospex Marinemaster 1968 Heritage GMT HBC001J1

The Seiko Diver’s Watch 1968 Heritage GMT HBC001J1 is an impressive diver’s watch that combines iconic design, modern technology and practical travel functionality in a highly successful way. This new model draws strongly from the recognisable design language of the original 1968 reference, while updating the overall package to meet modern expectations in performance, comfort and finishing.

Its green dial adds depth and distinctive character, while LumiBrite on the hands and indexes ensures excellent legibility in low light and underwater conditions. The mirror-polished case sides refine the overall look, and the unidirectional bezel reinforces the watch’s authentic diver’s watch identity. A sapphire crystal and Seiko’s durable Super-Hard Coating provide extra protection for everyday wear.

Inside is the mechanical 6R54 calibre, offering an approximately 72-hour power reserve and the option of manual winding. One of the model’s key highlights is its independently adjustable GMT hand, making it easy and practical to track a second time zone at a glance. This true traveller’s GMT function makes the watch an excellent choice for frequent travellers as well.

With a 42 mm stainless steel case, 300 metres of water resistance, a screw-down crown and a screw caseback, the watch is built for demanding conditions. The updated stainless steel bracelet clasp offers up to 15 mm of micro-adjustment in six steps, allowing the fit to be adapted quickly and easily as conditions change. The Seiko Diver’s Watch 1968 Heritage GMT HBC001J1 is an excellent choice for anyone who values heritage diver styling, modern GMT capability and refined everyday wearability.
