Need to see if a watch can take a beating? Send it to the ends of the earth. Japanese watch manufacturer Seiko created its first dive watch in 1965. With water resistance to 150m and an automatic movement, the timepiece was acclaimed on a global scale after being worn by members of the 8th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition in 1966. By virtue of this, Seiko’s dive watches were chosen by the same research team between 1966 and 1969. However, the […]
