Seiko Prospex LX Limited Edition Spring Drive – SNR045

Seiko's LX line, introduced in 2019, stands as the pinnacle of their Prospex collection, embodying a fusion of modern aesthetics and high functionality. The name "LX" pays homage to light, reflecting its play on the watch's broad, flat surfaces. This line's latest addition, a limited edition piece inspired by the Antarctic, captures the enigmatic underwater forest near Skarvsnes Foreland. The moss pillars, known affectionately as "kokebozu," are a result of centuries of underwater growth, formed by a blend of moss, algae, and bacteria. The watch design draws from Seiko's inaugural 1968 Diver’s model, boasting 300m water resistance and a high-beat movement. The Zaratsu-polished case surface offers both modern aesthetics and enhanced comfort. Notably, the LX line secured the Diver’s Watch Prize at the 2019 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, a testament to its global appeal.

This limited edition maintains professional diver's watch specifications, including 300 meters of water resistance, a cermet exterior panel on the unidirectional bezel, and a diver-adjusted clasp mechanism. The case back proudly displays the "LIMITED EDITION" label along with the unique serial number, highlighting its exclusivity among collectors. Powering this timepiece is Seiko’s innovative Spring Drive Caliber 5R65, renowned for its silent, gliding seconds hand and an impressive 72-hour power reserve. Its resilience to temperature fluctuations and shocks make it a reliable choice for active pursuits, such as marine sports and climbing. Altogether, this limited edition LX watch seamlessly blends artistry, history, and cutting-edge technology into a truly exceptional timepiece.
