The "Seiko First Diver," which arrived today, was the first full-fledged diver's watch made in Japan, created in 1965.
This is where the history of Japanese diver's watches began.
The First Diver, who is said to have made Seiko's first diving possible,
The crown is not screwed in, so the waterproof performance is questionable.
A historic masterpiece that prioritizes practicality.
The movement is Cal. 6217, which is considered a masterpiece with excellent precision and durability.
A fully automatic movement with no manual winding function.
This is one of Seiko's signature watches.
The exterior is not rounded like imported watches,
It gives a rugged impression, as can be seen from the angular shape of the rug.
The sportiness of a diver's watch,
It feels very tough, as if it was designed to be used heavily.
The dial is grey with a sunray finish.
The second model and later will be black,
The color of the dial is also a characteristic of the First Diver.
The size is relatively large for a watch at that time.
That said, it is a normal size compared to modern watches,
This is an easy-to-use size for a diver's watch, which tends to be considered large and thick.
The First Diver that I actually owned was also very easy to use,
It wasn't too big and didn't feel like it was getting in the way.
First divers are something you rarely see these days.
This is the first arrival in quite a while,
Now it is a rare model of Seiko.
This item is so highly regarded that it has been reissued many times.
There must be many people looking for the especially popular sports models.
I've even heard people say, "I haven't seen this recently."
This is a rare model that doesn't come out very often these days,
Don't miss this opportunity!
