Seiko is taking a trip back in time with the release of two new GMT watches inspired by their 1968 Diver’s watch. The Seiko Prospex “Dark Depths” GMT and the Seiko Prospex “Marine Green” GMT both feature the new in-house 6R54 calibre, which enables mechanical GMT functionality. This is a first for Seiko dive watches, and it allows for calendar-date functionality and a stop second-hand function.
The watches are built for wearability and durability, with a three-day power reserve and high-quality scratch resistant Japanese ceramic diving scale. They also have a low centre of gravity, which makes them comfortable to wear even when diving.
If you’re looking for a stylish and functional dive watch with a touch of history, then the Seiko Prospex GMT is the perfect choice for you.
Here are some of the key features of the Seiko Prospex GMT:
- New in-house 6R54 calibre with mechanical GMT functionality
- Calendar-date functionality
- Stop second-hand function
- Three-day power reserve

This modern re-interpretation of the 1968 Diver’s watch is inspired by Japan’s first hi-beat one-piece Diver’s watch created by Seiko.
The success of the 1968 model laid the foundation for Seiko Diver’s watch development which for sixty years has innovated in wearable, precise watches for professional and recreational divers.
This modern watch is powered by the new in-house Calibre 6R54 and is the first of Seiko’s diving watches with mechanical GMT functionality. Built for wearability: the bracelet fits comfortably due to its low centre of gravity and short-pitch – and durability: with a three-day power reserve and high-quality scratch resistant Japanese ceramic Diving scale, its water resistance is up to 200m.
Prospex is a combination of the words ‘Professional’ and ‘Specifications.’ Seiko Prospex timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable; to meet the high standards required in extreme environments for sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.
