The sea and the SLA 025

The sea and the SLA 025

Why? Why are we so fascinated by diver's watches? Why does the word professional added to the dial cause so much excitement? Why, when so few of us actually dive below a few metres, do we look for a watch that can dive much deeper into the abyss than anyone has ever dived before? Diver's watches are one of the cornerstones of the watch industry The history of the Japanese diver's watch starts in 1965 with Seiko's first attempt to produce a diver's watch worthy of the name It's a beautiful watch, but its design is closer to that of a "Leisure" diver's watch.

As mentioned above, Seiko shook the diving community in 1967 with the Reference 6215, a watch that would revolutionize the brand The watch is offered with a "Waffle" rubber strap, which is yet another nod to the glory days of professional diver's watches If you are looking to stand out among the many diver's watches that mimic the Rolex Submariner, the Seiko SLA is the perfect choice, and you will not be disappointed.
