What to know

A public vote has shaped a new version of Seiko's Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver. Fans chose the vivid Daytime Blue design from four scenes inspired by the ocean at different hours. A textured blue dial and matching bezel evoke moving water, while the steel silhouette keeps the familiar 1965-inspired proportions. The model is limited to 4,500 pieces.

At 40 mm in diameter, the HBC011 houses the automatic 6R55, which Seiko rates for 72 hours of power reserve. The brand specifies 300-metre diver's water resistance, a sapphire crystal and a bracelet with adjustable clasp. Announced in August for October 2026 availability, the model is being added with its original announcement date.
