Reading Time: 3 minutes

Today, Seiko Prospex introduces two limited editions that take root in Seiko’s historical field watches – Seiko Prospex Land SPB411 & SLA071. The first, the Ref. SPB411 is a re-creation of the watch from 1968 that was Seiko’s first GMT to feature a rotating bezel. The new limited edition is faithful to the original with its classic sports design and compact dimensions. It is equipped with the three-day power reserve Caliber 6R54.
Another limited edition, the Ref. SLA071 commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Landmaster, a series born in Japan in 1993 that has earned the trust and met the needs of adventurers and mountaineers. The new creation features a design that channels the most representative watch in the history of the Landmaster. The compass ring and rotating bezel, hallmarks of the Landmaster series, have been given a three-dimensional shape for ease of operation and legibility. The watch is powered by the highly accurate Caliber 8L35, created to withstand harsh environments.

A faithful re-creation of an archival model from 1968

For its latest watch, Seiko Prospex has re-created the model from 1968 that was Seiko’s first GMT to feature a rotating bezel. The new limited edition is as faithful as possible to the classic sports design and compact dimensions that characterized the late-‘60s Navigator Timer. A distinctive five-row bracelet glitters to complete the watch’s classic and luxurious look.

On the dial, the Seiko logo follows the design of the original model and is lower in height than the current logo. The GMT, hour, and minute hands, as well as the indexes, also follow the Navigator Timer design. With its independently adjustable GMT hand and 24-hour rotating bezel, this handsome traveler’s watch displays the time in three places at once.

A limited creation commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Landmaster series loved by adventurers and mountaineers.

In 1993, the Seiko Landmaster series was born in Japan. Throughout its three-decade history, the series has earned the trust and met the needs of adventurers and mountaineers with repeated improvements to its specifications. In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the series, Seiko presents a new Prospex creation whose design is the high reliability of successive generations of Landmasters and the design of the most representative models.

With this new Landmaster, a light and comfortable fit is ensured through a case made of pure titanium, a material with excellent corrosion resistance, while a super hard coating protects from scratches. The compass ring and rotating bezel, hallmarks of the Landmaster series, have been given a three-dimensional shape for ease of operation and legibility. Powering the new Landmaster is the in-house caliber 8L35, created to withstand harsh environments. This highly accurate movement was assembled and adjusted by the skilled craftsmen and women of Shizukuishi.

Three-dimensional indexes and thick hands ensure high legibility even in harsh environments.
