Seiko Revives A Classic '70s Dive Watch Design For New Prospex SPB151 And SPB153 Models

Now, Seiko has returned to the hardworking affordable dive roots of the 6105 for a pair of new 6105-inspired models - the Seiko Prospex SPB151 and Prospex SPB153 Unusually for a modern reissue of a vintage watch, the Prospex SPB151 and SPB153 are actually smaller overall than the '70s original While no official number has been announced, Seiko also promises the SPB151 and SPB153 are significantly slimmer than the original as well.

The dials of the Seiko Prospex SPB151 and SPB153 are solidly faithful in their reinterpretation of the 6105 formula Both the Seiko Prospex SPB151 and the SPB153 are powered by Seiko's in house 6R35 automatic movement Seiko equips both the SPB151 and SPB153 with unique strap options.

While this isn't the first time Seiko has reimagined the classic 6105 design, these new models capture the spirit and dependability of the originals while refining the design beyond the template of the '70s Both the Seiko Prospex SPB151 and SPB153 will be available through Seiko authorized dealers starting in July 2020, at an MSRP of $1,300 for the SPB151 and $1,100 for the SPB153. .
