Seiko Limited Edition Black Series – Discontinued

Seiko Prospex “Black Series” Solar Dive Watch – SNE493P1
Bold, stealthy, and built for adventure. This limited-edition 2018 Black Series from Seiko’s legendary Seiko Prospex collection was inspired by the thrill of night diving, combining rugged professional dive capability with striking all-black styling and vivid orange accents.
Powered by Seiko’s reliable V157 solar movement, this watch charges from any light source and delivers up to 10 months of power on a full charge—no battery changes needed. Its matte black hard-coated stainless steel case, high-visibility Lumibrite, and 200m water resistance make it equally at home underwater or as a bold everyday statement piece.
