SEIKO (PROSPEX)
Since introducing its pioneering dive watch in 1965, SEIKO watches have maintained a rich legacy steeped in the exploration of the world’s harshest environments. This adventurous spirit led to the creation of a long-running series of watches whose “professional specifications” (“Prospex,” for short) endeared them to those who sought the venerable Japanese brand’s philosophies of unerring quality and dependability.
SEIKO diver's watches proved their outstanding water resistance through tests. SEIKO Prospex challenges every limit, with a collection of timepieces for sports lovers and adventure seekers whether in the water, in the sky, or on land.

Seiko watch history
Founded in 1881 by Kintarō Hattori in Tokyo, Seiko introduced the world's first commercial quartz wristwatch in 1969.
Seiko is widely known for its wristwatches. Seiko, Citizen and Rolex are the only three watch companies considered to be vertically integrated. Seiko is able to design and develop all the components of a watch, as well as assemble, adjust, inspect and ship them in-house. Seiko's mechanical watches consist of approximately 200 parts, and the company has the technology and production facilities to design and manufacture all of these parts in-house.
The company was incorporated (K. Hattori & Co., Ltd.) in 1917 and renamed Hattori Seiko Co., Ltd. in 1983 and Seiko Corporation in 1990. After reconstructing and creating its operating subsidiaries (such as Seiko Watch Corporation and Seiko Clock Inc.), it became a holding company in 2001 and was renamed Seiko Holdings Corporation on July 1, 2007. Seiko Holdings Corporation was renamed Seiko Group Corporation as of October 1, 2022.
