If you’re a sports and adrenaline buff, you must already be a satisfied owner of a Seiko Prospex watch. If you’re not yet, then let us introduce you to one of Seiko’s best-kept secrets.

 

Coined from the words “Professional Specifications”, Prospex is Seiko’s answer to the demand of sportsmen for excellent sports watches. We’re talking watches that they can take with them either on land, air, or water adventures.

 

Seiko’s many inventions and accolades, among others, including creating the world’s first automatic chronograph watch equipped with both vertical clutch and column wheel, the world’s first six-digit LCD quartz watch, and the more recent first E-Ink and EPD watch. The Seiko Prospex is yet another proof of the brand’s mastery in watchmaking.

Why Should You Get a Seiko Prospex Watch?

With many sub-brands representing different types of watches, the collection that is made to represent the sporty and adventure-loving spirit of the brand is none other than the Seiko Prospex. As the Official Timer of the IAAF World Championships more than three times, and the official timer at the Games of the 25th Olympiad World, and even the inventor of the first computerised diver’s watch, Seiko has always had a solid track record that proves its capabilities.

 

Here are a few that tops our list from the Seiko Prospex collection:
