Introducing the new Seiko Prospex Diver 1000M made in celebration of Mobile Suit Gundam's 40th Anniversary!
Yes, something very cool that Seiko Prospex nerds, fans of Japanese anime / manga and hypebeasts in general can collectively geek out over.
If that’s you - arm yourselves with some clean undies, plenty of tissues and a brown paper bag; I anticipate some possible pants wetting, much drooling and a little hyperventilation will ensue.
These are the Seiko Prospex Professional Divers 1000M x Mobile Suit Gundam 40th Anniversary watches AKA The Gundam Tunas ref. SBDX027 (green) and SBDX029 (red).
The watches get two striking new colorways; SBDX027 with its military green shrouding, dial and diver’s strap and
SBDX029 with its blood dial and strap and gloss black shrouding. Both watches get contrasting black steel case components.
Special features include: mil-style stenciled 1000M depth-rating text on dial, colored and engraved case-shrouding,
color-coded rubber diver’s straps with printed logos, case-backs with LE# / 1000 pieces (of each) plus special “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM 40th Anniversary” engraving.
Basic spec. includes: H53.5mm x W52.4mm x D17.2mm cases with 1000m of water resistance, SAT diving suitable, Sapphire crystals and 26 jewel, Seiko 8L35 automatic calibers with 50hrs of power-reserve.
The watches are delivered in special colored leatherette presentation boxes. They have a Japanese MSRP is 400,000 JPY+TAX.
Thoughts? Toyish, childish, geeky yet ultimately cool. I would never buy one but I do appreciate them and if I was ever lucky enough to wear one I’d rock the sh!t out of it. What do you think?
