The monobloc type of construction is a very valuable architecture reserved for scuba\u2019s watches crafted at the turn of the 70s (the original <strong>PloProf<\/strong>, for example, featured a monobloc case too) and it represents an incredible product plus side; no seal is present (as well as no access to the movement except from the dial side), a perfect tightness and a design that speaks for itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An authentic diver\u2019s watch and, when I use this term, I mean that this is a tool that is faithful to the original tool watch with a monobloc case and, if designed for helium saturation dives, it needs to feature no escape valve at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Seiko-Prospex-1968-Automatic-Divers-Re-creation-Limited-Edition-SLA025-due\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/Seiko-Prospex-1968-Automatic-Divers-Re-creation-Limited-Edition-SLA025-due.41f866ae9df9.jpg\" alt=\"Seiko-Prospex-1968-Automatic-Divers-Re-creation-Limited-Edition-SLA025-due\">The <strong>Seiko Prospex 1968 Automatic Diver\u2019s Re<\/strong>\u2013<strong>creation Limited Edition SLA025<\/strong> sports a beautiful monobloc case with a completely flat surface (it fits as a glove) and it faithfully replicates the proportions and mood of the colossal <strong>Seiko Diver\u2019s 300m<\/strong> from <strong>1968<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although I cannot really say that I am the greatest promoter and fan of the vintage world, I have to admit that I envy those, who own an original <strong>300m Seiko Diver\u2019s<\/strong>, because this watch belongs to that selected few that cannot miss in your collection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Seiko-Prospex-1968-Automatic-Divers-Re-creation-Limited-Edition-SLA025-uno\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/Seiko-Prospex-1968-Automatic-Divers-Re-creation-Limited-Edition-SLA025-uno.b3a073d1fb76.jpg\" alt=\"Seiko-Prospex-1968-Automatic-Divers-Re-creation-Limited-Edition-SLA025-uno\">The shape of the case (a good <strong>44.8mm<\/strong> in diameter and <strong>15.65mm<\/strong> in thickness) is extremely original.

I\u2019m not a lifestyle journalist, but I like to dress properly and I\u2019m a big fan of diver\u2019s watches, and one of the things that I have never really enjoyed much in a diver\u2019s watch (the real ones; the tool watches) is that this type of timepiece has obviously not been designed to be worn every day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Seiko-Prospex-1968-Automatic-Divers-Re-creation-Limited-Edition-SLA025-quattro\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/Seiko-Prospex-1968-Automatic-Divers-Re-creation-Limited-Edition-SLA025-quattro.1a8c0a327339.jpg\" alt=\"Seiko-Prospex-1968-Automatic-Divers-Re-creation-Limited-Edition-SLA025-quattro\">The <strong>Seiko Prospex 1968 Automatic Diver\u2019s Re<\/strong>\u2013<strong>creation Limited Edition SLA025<\/strong> has that strong vintage taste that makes it perfect on more than one occasion (please make sure that you avoid a three-piece-suite though) and its silicone strap is so soft that it almost closes by itself and if you consider that I only wore a prototype at <strong>Baselworld<\/strong>, I am pretty sure that the final version delivered to the customers will be even better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Given the style of this diver\u2019s watch, I think that you can indulge yourself with more than one customization. Personally, however, I would have simplified the texture of the strap a bit more.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"final-remarks-is-it-worth-buying-it-or-not\">Final remarks (is it worth buying it or not?)<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Seiko Prospex 1968 Automatic Diver\u2019s Re<\/strong>\u2013<strong>creation Limited Edition SLA025<\/strong> is the most beautiful <strong>Prospex<\/strong> that <strong>Seiko<\/strong> has ever crafted and it continues the process of trying to recreate the models that have made the brand\u2019s history, while featuring, at the same time, watches that are not just items for professionals, but something that can always be worn by anyone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The direction that the brand has taken is quite clear \u2013 the aim is to expand the customer range and talk to a wider audience by capturing fans in a price range and product range, in which the brand is not yet permanently present. This also explains the retail price of \u20ac<strong>5,500<\/strong>, which is given by its exceptional quality, its <strong>Hi<\/strong>\u2013<strong>Beat<\/strong> caliber, its limited series and a reference that is likely to become a collector\u2019s piece, while raising the perception that fans have of the\u00a0brand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"Seiko-Divers-watch-300m-1968-original\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/Seiko-Divers-watch-300m-1968-original.b7721e254a16.jpg\" alt=\"Seiko-Divers-watch-300m-1968-original\">When a product can boast such\u00a0features, I believe that 80% of the job has already been done, the remaining 20% \u200b\u200bis up to us journalists and a proper advertising campaign, in which I hope that <strong>Seiko<\/strong> is very careful, because the recent proliferation of partnerships and limited series has started to disorient even us writers and it tends to \u201c<em>dilute<\/em>\u201d the image of the brand over time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m quite interested in buying this watch, because I believe that a <strong>Seiko Prospex 1968 Automatic Diver\u2019s Re<\/strong>\u2013<strong>creation Limited Edition SLA025<\/strong> should be part of my collection and a collection that feature milestones. This, like the <strong>1968 model<\/strong>, is a milestone and when the 1500s are finished, they will no longer be crafted.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 10px; height: auto; width: auto; margin: 0 auto; position: relative; display: table;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(Photo credit: Horbiter\u00ae)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Gaetano C @Horbiter\u00ae<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seiko doesn\u2019t only craft diver\u2019s watches, but rather Seiko made the history of diver\u2019s watches The history of diver\u2019s watches\u00a0was officially born in Europe, but it is on the other side of the world, more precisely in the Pacific Ocean and in the Sea of \u200b\u200bJapan, that diver\u2019s watches have reached the peak of their [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/en\/seiko-prospex-1968-automatic-divers-re-creation-limited-edition-sla025-watch-hands-on-horbiter-baselworld-2018\/\">Read More&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> from The Seiko 1968 Re-creation SLA025 watch hands-on<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[544,549],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diving-watches","category-seiko"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Seiko 1968 Re-creation SLA025 watch hands-on<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the Seiko Prospex 1968 Automatic Diver\u2019s Re-creation Limited Edition SLA025 in our review with photos, specs and pricing.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/en\/seiko-prospex-1968-automatic-divers-re-creation-limited-edition-sla025-watch-hands-on-horbiter-baselworld-2018\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Seiko Prospex 1968 Automatic Diver\u2019s Re-creation Limited Edition SLA025\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Discover the Seiko Prospex 1968 Automatic Diver\u2019s Re-creation Limited Edition SLA025 in our review with photos, specs and pricing.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/en\/seiko-prospex-1968-automatic-divers-re-creation-limited-edition-sla025-watch-hands-on-horbiter-baselworld-2018\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Horbiter \u00e8 il magazine italiano sugli orologi di lusso.
