2021 Seiko Prospex 140th Anniversary Limited SPB213J1

Here we have a 2021 Seiko Prospex 140th Anniversary Limited SPB213J1 that celebrates Seiko's 140th Anniversary and is a modern reinterpretation of their very first dive watch, the 62MAS. The watch is Limited to 6000 pieces. Its 40.5mm stainless steel case curves in all the right places. Coated in DiaShield, a Seiko proprietary material, the watch is resilient to scratches and scuffs. The drilled lugs have a lug-to-lug length of 47.5mm and a thickness of 13.5mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. Satin brushed and polished shoulders transition with crisp lines. On the right side is a screw-down crown. The unidirectional bezel has a striking 60-minute blue insert coated in a hardened material. A flat sapphire crystal sits above the white dial. An outer minute track with blue accents adds a pop of colour. Applied pillows of LumiBrite mark the hours. At 3 o’clock, a framed date window. Broad sword hands with LumiBrite infill are complemented by a blue sweeping second hand. The text is precisely printed. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the Seiko Tsunami in the centre. Inside an Automatic Seiko 6R35, 24 jewels, 21,600 beats per hour. The watch comes fitted on its original Seiko 20mm stainless steel bracelet with brushed and polished surfaces, complete with a Seiko three-fold clasp and dive extension, plus an additional 20mm rubber strap and comes with its Seiko presentation box and papers.

This watch is sold with its original Seiko box and paperwork. The watch comes paired with its original 20mm Seiko bracelet with all links provided, plus a 20mm rubber strap. The watch is from May 2021 and is sold in worn but fair condition, as you can see, likely worn a handful of times at most. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

This Seiko Prospex 140th Anniversary Limited SPB213J1 has a pop of electric blue that comes in and out depending on the light from the bezel, and this is what really makes this watch stand out in the crowd. Beautifully contrasted against the jet-white dial, they have nailed the design of this model, and it really does give the vintage classic a modern twist. Don't hesitate to add this to your collection today!

Seikos' history began in 1881 when Kintaro Hattori established the K. Hattori retail and repair store. In 1892, Seikosha was established to make wall clocks. 1895 saw the production of their first pocket watch. 1913 saw the launch of their first wristwatch, the Laurel. In 1924, the first Seiko was manufactured. Daini Seikosha (now Seiko Instruments Inc.) was established in 1937. Seiko was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1949. The Suwa factory became independent and formed Suwa Seikosha Co., Ltd. (now Seiko Epson Corporation in 1959). In 1956, Seiko launched Marvel as their first true in-house-made watch; they continued to make this watch until 1959. Japan’s first chronograph watch was introduced for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics; it was called the Seiko Crown Chronograph monopusher. Not stopping there, Seiko launched Japan's first true divers watch, the Seiko Diver’s 150M fitted with the automatic Caliber 6217, which later was given the nickname “62MAS” by collectors. The company name was changed to the Seiko Corporation in 1990. Innovation at Seiko continues today with GPS Solar watches.
