Prospex LX

PROSPEX LX

PINNACLE OF SEIKO SPORTS

Since the introduction of its first diver’s watches in the 1960s, Seiko has been recognized as a leader for those who demand the highest degree of reliability and durability. Building on this Legacy, the Prospex LX mirrors the lines of the 1968 Professional Diver’s watch but has been brilliantly updated with Seiko’s proprietary Spring Drive movement with an accuracy of +/- 1 second per day. In development for over 28 years, Seiko’s Spring Drive movement continues to function flawlessly when confronted with harsh conditions on earth, in the sea, or even in outer space. The movement can achieve its incredible accuracy due to the unique Tri-Synchro Regulator which uses a combination of mechanical energy to drive it, electrical energy to power the integrated circuit and quartz crystal, and electromagnetic energy to precisely regulate the speed of the glide wheel.

LEGITIMATE EVOLUTION

Though originally based on a Diver’s watch, the LX collection includes both Diver’s designs and timepieces with increased GMT functionality for the Land and Sky. Designed in collaboration with Ken Okuyama Design, the center of gravity of the case is lower to ensure a more comfortable fit on any wrist. In addition, the upper side of the case is set at a more pronounced angle to allow the Zaratsu-polished surfaces to shine more brightly living up to the name “LX” from the Latin word for light.

U.S. SPECIAL EDITION

The accuracy and special construction of Spring Drive make it uniquely suited for space and resistant to temperature and pressure changes. In fact, the movement has passed the rigorous testing required for space travel and maintained its accuracy and functionality while on board the International Space Station. Inspired by the theme of space travel, U.S. Special Editions reflect motifs based on the moon, earth, and other heavenly bodies. Featuring intricately patterned dials and multi-tone sapphire GMT bezels reflective of the light and shadows of space as vibrant colors fade to gray and black, each creation is accented by a prominent GMT hand which easily tracks a second time zone at a glance.
