Seiko Prospex Launches Limited Edition Model Commemorating PADI's 60th Anniversary and 10-Year Partnership

Seiko Watch Corporation will release a limited edition model from the <Seiko Prospex> line on July 10, 2026, commemorating the 60th anniversary of PADI® and the 10th anniversary of their partnership. The watch is priced at 107,800 JPY (including tax) and is limited to 8,000 pieces worldwide.

In 1965, Seiko launched Japan’s first diver's watch. The following year, in 1966, PADI was established as a diving training organization.

2026 marks the 60th anniversary of PADI and the 10th anniversary of its partnership with Seiko. Both parties have aimed to develop diving culture and protect ocean health, collaborating through Seiko's "Save the Ocean" program and PADI's "Marine Debris Program."

Message from Drew Richardson, CEO and President of PADI: "The partnership between Seiko and PADI is based on the shared belief that 'those who explore the sea should also contribute to its protection.' Seiko deeply understands that the future of diving depends on the health of the ocean, which has been the foundation of our partnership over the past decade."
