A professional-grade instrument meant for offshore divers, the 6159-7001 has become ingrained in Seiko lore as one of the brand’s most capable tool watches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHoused in a 45mm stainless steel monoblock case with \u003cem\u003eholey lugs\u003c\/em\u003e, a sapphire crystal, and a black ceramic unidirectional dive bezel, it features a sunburst blue dial with applied luminous plots, a matching ‘sword’ handset, and a date window at 3 o’clock. Water-resistant to 300m, undeniably handsome, and limited to just 1,100 pieces, the SLA039 is powered by Seiko’s Hi-Beat Caliber 8L55 with 37 jewels and 55 hours of power reserve. Further, it comes fitted to a blue rubber ‘studded’ dive strap with a stainless steel hardware, and is accompanied by its factory goodies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSeiko has a reputation for affordability, and indeed, many of its products are eminently attainable. The SLA039 is not such a watch — it’s a serious wrist companion for the serious diver, and it warrants a closer look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHave at it!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39830434054231,"sku":"40990778","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS07104_40990778_SEIKO_LE609BLUEDIAL_SLA039-6.jpg?v=1657815875","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/seiko-prospex-diver-limited-edition-as07104","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
