Seiko Prospex Diver's King Samurai 'Save The Ocean' Manta Ray 200M Mens Watch SRPE33K1

Seiko Prospex ‘King Samurai’ SRPE33K1. This watch shape is nicknamed by Seiko fans as a ‘Samurai’ - because of its angular shaped case design which looks as if it were sliced by a Japanese Samurai sword . An oversized screw-down crown with a pleasing knurled finish sits beside the 3 o’clock position and is protected by a crown guards build into the case, which increases the functionality of this watch.

The ‘King Samurai’ edition is differentiated from the normal ‘Samurai’ with the addition of a unidirectional ceramic bezel with an interesting and practical guilloche machining on the bezel edge and an ultra-scratch resistant sapphire glass with magnified date window. The benefit of having a ceramic bezel is that it provides greater durability and scratch resistance than a stainless-steel bezel and will also retain its colour, unlike a painted bezel that may fade over time.

The dial of this special edition timepiece represents the view of the ocean as seen by the 5m deep vision of the Manta Ray endangered species. The shades of blue colour echo that of the gradations of sunlight refracted through the water at different depths. The dial is also finished with a fine texture pattern that symbolises the ocean waves. To showcase an almost 3D effect, 3 Manta Rays are subtly silhouetted on the dial seen as they would be majestically passing by in the ocean if you were lucky enough to see them. The hour makers are covered with Lumibrite which allows the dial to be read in low light.                                                                  

The case and bracelet of the watch are made from highly durable stainless steel with a fine ‘hairline’ brushed finish, the case is sealed to meet 200m water resistance and is ISO 6425 ‘diver’ rated, able to pass all of the requirements of the most serious of ‘tool’ watch tests.

Renowned for its performance and reliability, Seiko’s inhouse 4R35 automatic movement powers the watch and it is an automatic calibre with manual-winding ability, convenient hacking-seconds function and quick date change facility showing date of month. With a 41-hour power reserve and 23 jewels, it beats at 21,600vph and has both a good level of anti-shock and anti-magnetic protection for peace of mind.

Built to last and backed by Seiko’s trusted global service centre network with a 2 year guarantee, this watch will provide a lifetime of reliable service and pleasure for the owner.
