Seiko’s long history in diver’s watches reaches back to when the company created Japan's first diver’s watch in
1965. The following year, in 1966, two American dive enthusiasts founded PADI® to raise training standards and
expand access to diving education. Sixty years after its founding, PADI has grown to become the world's largest
diving organisation. Operating in 183 countries worldwide with over 30 million certifications issued, PADI has
greatly expanded the world of diving while actively promoting ocean conservation.
As PADI celebrates its 60th anniversary, the organisation and Seiko also mark 10 years of partnership –
advancing diver safety, exploration, and a shared commitment to ocean protection. For the past five years, Seiko
Dial design inspired by the PADI 60th anniversary logo
Inspired by the colors of the PADI’s 60th anniversary logo, the watch features a striking blue dial and is accented with touches of red at the 6 o’clock position and on the seconds hand.
A globe motif derived from the PADI logo stretches across the entire dial. On the unidirectionally rotating bezel, a ceramic insert ensures exceptional scratch resistance while its vivid blue hue enhances the dial design.
Silicone strap exclusive to the PADI limited‑edition model
In addition to its robust steel bracelet, the watch also comes with a strap made of high-strength silicone, printed with the words “Professional Association of Diving Instructors.” With its accordion design, the strap ensures comfort both when worn over a wetsuit and directly on the wrist.
