In 1970, Seiko unveiled a new design for their diver's watch, featuring a sleek case and an offset extension that safeguarded the crown at the four o'clock position. This model came five years after Seiko created Japan's inaugural diver's watch. The 1970 version proved its reliability under the harshest conditions when it accompanied Japanese explorer Naomi Uemura on his Arctic expedition.
Today, Seiko honors Uemura's triumphs by releasing a limited edition watch that portrays Mont Blanc, the first peak he climbed, on its dial. This exclusive collection consists of only 500 pieces.
