In this article we explore a collaboration with few equals in the watch industry: the partnership between\u00a0Seiko<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0PADI<\/strong>\u2014 the world\u2019s largest recreational scuba diving training organization. We examine the two latest references born from this alliance, distinguished by their green colorway, and how the collaboration has inspired numerous initiatives supporting marine ecosystem protection. We also look at Seiko\u2019s presence at the European Dive Show 2026<\/strong> in Bologna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN SEIKO AND PADI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The partnership between\u00a0Seiko<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0PADI<\/strong>\u00a0is a well-established global collaboration that, in 2026, celebrates its 10th anniversary. Over this period, the Japanese manufacture has introduced numerous special editions of\u00a0Prospex<\/strong>\u00a0diver\u2019s watches created in cooperation with PADI. Highly professional references have been joined over time by models suited to more urban use, without\u00a0Seiko<\/strong>\u00a0ever compromising its focus on performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commitment to marine environments is also an integral part of the brand\u2019s history. This dedication is rooted in Seiko\u2019s long tradition of dive watch production, which began in the mid-1960s and has continued uninterrupted: from Japan\u2019s first diver\u2019s watch in 1965 \u2014 an automatic model water-resistant to 150 meters \u2014 to the 1968 Diver 300 m with hi-beat calibre, the 1975 Professional Diver\u2019s 600 m in titanium, and the 1978 model, the world\u2019s first quartz dive watch certified for saturation diving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This commitment to the sea is reflected both in concrete initiatives carried out with PADI \u2014 as we will see later \u2014 and in the Prospex diver\u2019s collection, which grows year after year with professional references developed thanks to the valuable contribution of the world\u2019s leading scuba training organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEIKO AT THE EUDI – EUROPEAN DIVE SHOW IN BOLOGNA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver\u2019s Watch PADI Special Edition<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Prospex Samurai PADI Special Edition<\/strong>\u00a0are the latest examples of the collaboration with PADI. Two high-performance divers united by a green colorway inspired by the underwater world. Both were among the highlights of the latest edition of the\u00a0EUDI Show \u2014 European Dive Show 2026<\/strong>, one of the leading platforms for diving, freediving, and marine tourism enthusiasts, held in Bologna from February 20 to 22, 2026. This year\u2019s event recorded 24,000 visitors, a 5% increase compared with the 2025 edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seiko was\u00a0the only watch brand present at the exhibition<\/strong>, Europe\u2019s key event dedicated to the diving world, where it shared its deep connection with the sea. The Bologna show serves as a meeting place for education and dialogue, promoting a conscious and responsible marine culture with a focus on protecting marine ecosystems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These values naturally align with the vision of the Japanese brand, as\u00a0Filippo Nembrini<\/strong>, Managing Director of Seiko Italia, explains: \u201cParticipating in EUDI Show represented for us a unique opportunity to engage with a community with which we share a deep bond: the sea. For Seiko, the sea is a source of inspiration and technical challenge, but also a precious heritage to be preserved.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEIKO PROSPEX 1965 HERITAGE DIVER\u2019S WATCH PADI SPECIAL EDITION: CASE AND DIAL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Among the watches displayed at EUDI Show, the two green models stood out. The\u00a0Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver\u2019s Watch PADI Special Edition (ref. SPB501J1)<\/strong>, as befits a professional dive watch, offers water resistance up to 30 bar, indicated on the dial at 6 o\u2019clock. This is ensured, among other elements, by the generously sized screw-down crown with pronounced knurling, allowing easy operation even while wearing diving gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Seiko<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0stainless steel case<\/strong>\u00a0measures 40 mm \u2014 consistent with other 1965 Heritage Diver\u2019s models \u2014 featuring a brushed top surface and polished sides. Its 13 mm thickness is notable for a professional diver, as is the 46 mm lug-to-lug distance, allowing comfortable wear both over a wetsuit and under a shirt cuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Seiko<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Seiko<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0dial<\/strong>\u00a0is green, with a texture evoking the rippling ocean surface seen from a diver\u2019s perspective \u2014 a motif found in other\u00a0Prospex<\/strong>\u00a0models and now characteristic of Seiko. The same green covers the unidirectional bezel with aluminum insert, made more resistant through an IP treatment. Legibility is ensured by the luminescent marker at 12 o\u2019clock, housed within the classic triangle and coated with\u00a0LumiBrite<\/strong>, Seiko\u2019s proprietary luminous compound known for its brightness and longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEIKO PROSPEX 1965 HERITAGE DIVER\u2019S WATCH PADI SPECIAL EDITION: MOVEMENT AND BRACELET<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inside the case beats one of Seiko\u2019s most reliable movements: the automatic\u00a0calibre 6R55<\/strong>, with manual winding capability and a daily accuracy rating of +25\/-15 seconds. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (vph) and offering a 72-hour power reserve, it eliminates concerns about frequent winding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The robust satin-finished\u00a0three-link steel bracelet<\/strong>\u00a0features a secure clasp with quick adjustment, allowing it to fit different wrist sizes and be worn over a wetsuit. It offers six adjustment positions, each approximately 2.5 mm, for a total of about 15 mm. The watch also includes a\u00a0second strap made from recycled nylon\u00a0<\/strong>sourced from discarded fishing nets, woven using the traditional Japanese Seichu technique often used for kimono belts \u2014 a dual reference to Seiko\u2019s Japanese heritage and its commitment to protecting marine environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEIKO PROSPEX SAMURAI PADI SPECIAL EDITION: FEATURES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second watch, the\u00a0Prospex Samurai PADI Special Edition<\/strong>\u00a0(ref. SRPL53K1), is the classic \u201cSamurai\u201d beloved by enthusiasts, characterized by a stainless steel case with sharp, angular lines reminiscent of a traditional Japanese sword blade. The satin finish extends across the sides. The case is larger than that of the 1965 Heritage Diver\u2019s Watch: 41.7 mm in diameter, 12.3 mm thick, and a lug-to-lug of 49.5 mm. Water resistance is 20 bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Seiko<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two\u00a0robust crown guards<\/strong>\u00a0protect the oversized crown, which features a lattice structure rather than traditional knurling \u2014 a typical Samurai design detail. The unidirectional\u00a0bezel<\/strong>\u00a0shares this finish and features a green IP treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Seiko<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Seiko<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The green theme continues on the dial, finished with the same marine texture and hands and indices coated with\u00a0LumiBrite<\/strong>. The indices display the iconic \u201cshark tooth<\/strong>\u201d design, enhancing visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Seiko<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The watch is powered by the\u00a0automatic calibre 4R35<\/strong>, with manual winding capability, operating at 21,600 vph, with an accuracy of +45\/-35 seconds per day and a 41-hour power reserve. It is paired with a three-link steel bracelet featuring a folding clasp, extendable but without micro-adjustment. The watches are priced at\u00a0\u20ac1,750 (1965 Heritage Diver\u2019s) and \u20ac670 (Samurai).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEIKO AND PADI: PROMOTING DIVING CULTURE AND PROTECTING THE OCEANS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The partnership between the Japanese brand and PADI is driven not only by a passion for the depths but also by a shared awareness of the fragility of marine environments and the need to protect them. Through the \u201cSave the Ocean\u201d initiative, together with\u00a0PADI\u00a0<\/strong>and the\u00a0PADI AWARE Foundation<\/strong>, Seiko supports marine conservation programs such as the Marine Debris Program and\u00a0Dive Against Debris<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 the world\u2019s largest citizen science initiative dedicated to ocean cleanup. Thanks to contributions from more than 70,000 divers, the largest global database of marine debris has been created and shared with NGOs, governments, and local communities to develop sustainable long-term solutions. The watches therefore represent only the visible tip of a much broader commitment to ocean preservation \u2014 a source of pride for\u00a0Seiko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Italy, this synergy also took shape through the \u201cSeiko Summer Class<\/strong>\u201d project held in\u00a0Ustica\u00a0<\/strong>in 2021, in collaboration with PADI and DAN, an international organization dedicated to diver safety and underwater medical research. This educational initiative targeted younger generations, combining diving training, citizen science, and marine ecosystem education to promote a conscious and responsible sea culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fabio Figurella<\/strong>, PADI Regional Manager Italy, concludes: \u201cWe are particularly proud of our collaboration with Seiko, a brand that has transformed its historic connection with the sea into concrete action for its protection. The partnership with PADI goes beyond the product and translates into tangible actions supporting marine ecosystem conservation and the diving community. Through education programs and Ocean Literacy initiatives, we work together to promote a more aware and responsible sea culture.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
