The Japanese brand, which celebrates its 145th anniversary in 2026, has a history linked to underwater exploration dating back over 60 years. Since the mid-1960s, there have been numerous models dedicated to professional divers; an expansion of the collection that has reflected not only the growth of technical expertise but also Seiko\u2019s passion for the sea and its collaboration with organisations, associations and figures linked to the ocean and exploration. Among these is&nbsp;<strong>JAMSTEC<\/strong>, the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, with whom, since the 1980s, Seiko has established a lasting partnership based on shared values, leading to the creation of some of the timepieces most favoured by professional divers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jamstec.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jamstec-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"JAMSTEC Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science\" class=\"wp-image-28658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jamstec-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jamstec-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jamstec-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jamstec-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jamstec-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Jamstec.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A comprehensive partnership, born of a deep affinity of purpose\u2014such as exploration, the pursuit of performance and environmental protection\u2014which unites&nbsp;<strong>Seiko and JAMSTEC&nbsp;<\/strong>and results in a mutual exchange of experience and knowledge. On the one hand, the professionals at the Japanese agency have access to state-of-the-art watchmaking technology to accompany them on their missions; on the other, the brand has the opportunity to test its timepieces in extreme conditions, gaining useful and valuable insights for the development of ever more reliable and advanced watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we will discuss the two new models in the\u00a0<strong>Marinemaster<\/strong>\u00a0series, the flagship of\u00a0<strong>Prospex.<\/strong> The first is inspired by the spirit of exploration shared by\u00a0<strong>JAMSTEC\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Seiko\u00a0<\/strong>and is the result of the collaboration with the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology, whilst the second is a model in continuous production.

All these characteristics are fully expressed in the new&nbsp;<strong>Prospex Marinemaster 1968 Heritage Diver\u2019s Watch JAMSTEC Limited Edition<\/strong>, reference HBF002J1. As the name suggests, the model draws inspiration from the first Japanese watch water-resistant to 30 bar, featuring a high-precision hi-beat automatic calibre with a frequency of 10 vibrations per second, which the manufacturer created in 1968. It incorporates the crown at 4 o\u2019clock, the design of the hour markers and hands, and the ergonomic shape of the case from that model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seiko_Prospex_Marinemaster_Jamstec_HBF002J1SWS_Watch_Insanity_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seiko_Prospex_Marinemaster_Jamstec_HBF002J1SWS_Watch_Insanity_01-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Seiko Prospex Marinemaster 1968 Heritage Diver\u2019s Watch JAMSTEC Limited Edition\" class=\"wp-image-28641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seiko_Prospex_Marinemaster_Jamstec_HBF002J1SWS_Watch_Insanity_01-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seiko_Prospex_Marinemaster_Jamstec_HBF002J1SWS_Watch_Insanity_01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seiko_Prospex_Marinemaster_Jamstec_HBF002J1SWS_Watch_Insanity_01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seiko_Prospex_Marinemaster_Jamstec_HBF002J1SWS_Watch_Insanity_01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seiko_Prospex_Marinemaster_Jamstec_HBF002J1SWS_Watch_Insanity_01-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Seiko_Prospex_Marinemaster_Jamstec_HBF002J1SWS_Watch_Insanity_01.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new&nbsp;<strong>Marinemaster,&nbsp;<\/strong>developed in collaboration with&nbsp;<strong>JAMSTEC<\/strong>, is a robust diver\u2019s watch featuring a 42.6 mm diameter stainless steel case, 14.1 mm thick, with a combination of polished and satin-finished surfaces.

It is in fact black, satin-finished, with a fine-grain finish, a texture that reduces glare and optimises the visibility of the contrasting hour markers and hands, both coated with premium Lumibrite, which guarantees long-lasting luminosity and exceptional readability even in low light. The unidirectional bezel is also black, with a black ceramic insert and a Lumibrite-coated dot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>SEIKO, JAMSTEC AND WATCH TESTING<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned at the start, this limited-edition model stems from the long-standing collaboration between Seiko and the&nbsp;<strong>Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC<\/strong>). Over the years, several Seiko divers\u2019 watches have undergone rigorous underwater durability tests, proving their reliability at great depths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-3-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-3.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first tests were carried out in<strong>&nbsp;1982<\/strong>, when&nbsp;JAMSTEC&nbsp;subjected several diving watches to saturation diving at 300 metres. On that occasion, Seiko\u2019s Diver\u2019s Professional 600m proved to be up to ten times more resistant to helium than watches from other brands. Buoyed by these results, the following year&nbsp;JAMSTEC&nbsp;went a step further, mounting two Seiko Diver\u2019s Professional 600m watches on the outer hull of its Shinkai 2000 research submersible. Both had been designed to withstand depths of up to 600 metres, but retained their legibility and accuracy even at&nbsp;<strong>-1,062 metres<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In<strong>&nbsp;2014<\/strong>, two 1,000m diving watches \u2013 in quartz and mechanical versions \u2013 were subjected to an even more extreme test. Attached to the outer hull of the KAIKO 7000 II, a remotely operated submersible, they descended even deeper, to<strong>3,000 metres,&nbsp;<\/strong>and continued to function perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-2-1024x410.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-2-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-2-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-2-768x308.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-2-1536x615.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-2-600x240.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-2.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In<strong>&nbsp;2015<\/strong>, the latest version of the 1000m professional diver\u2019s watch underwent a durability and resistance test. The watch was attached to the robotic arm of the Shinkai 6500 research submersible, and for 16 hours and 40 minutes the crew manoeuvred the arm to a depth of around<strong>&nbsp;1,400 metres<\/strong>. The timepiece confirmed its precision even under adverse conditions throughout the entire test. In Japanese, Shinkai means \u2018deep sea\u2019: Seiko drew inspiration from this for the dial pattern of the Prospex Marinemaster reference SLA081J1, created in 2025 to mark the 60th anniversary of the brand\u2019s divers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN SEIKO AND JAMSTEC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The partnership therefore has broader scope. It is, to all intents and purposes, a sharing of values and a concrete, reciprocal collaboration: for&nbsp;<strong>Seiko<\/strong>, it is a source of technical refinements and inspiration for new models;&nbsp;<strong>JAMSTEC<\/strong>benefits from Seiko\u2019s active participation in its study and research programmes. One example is the Arctic research programme promoted by JAMSTEC through the National Institute of Polar Research of Japan, which conducts studies on environmental changes and monitors natural phenomena in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. This work aims to predict the impact of global warming on the environment, and Seiko Prospex contributes to it through the&nbsp;<strong>\u201cSave the Ocean<\/strong>\u201d initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every brand has its own sphere of experimentation and communication: Seiko\u2019s lies in exploration in extreme environments, combined with a commitment to environmental conservation. The collaboration with JAMSTEC is a perfect embodiment of this, enabling the manufacturer to continually enhance the technical excellence of its watches, as is the case with the two new&nbsp;<strong>Prospex Marinemaster models<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>PRICES AND CONCLUSIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, we note that the price of the limited edition (the number of which is engraved on the case back) is&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac. 4<\/strong>,<strong>100<\/strong>, dropping to&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac. 3,800&nbsp;<\/strong>for the version with a black dial and bezel. It is clear that, in the development of these watches, the collaboration with&nbsp;<strong>JAMSTEC&nbsp;<\/strong>is invaluable, given some of the Japanese agency\u2019s objectives: to explore and understand the oceans, study the climate and its global changes, and monitor natural hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-5-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-5-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-5-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Senza-titolo-5.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JAMSTEC studies ocean currents, the ocean floor, deep-sea biodiversity and water chemistry; it plays a leading role in climate research and in observing earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and the Earth\u2019s internal dynamics to understand and anticipate disasters. These are all elements from which&nbsp;<strong>Seiko&nbsp;<\/strong>can draw useful insights to develop technical solutions that make its divers\u2019 watches even more high-performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are not merely sales pitches or good ideas for marketing and storytelling. They are important opportunities to develop a product through valuable synergies between two organisations which, ultimately, share the same goal:&nbsp;<strong>to work and study in order to offer tools and knowledge that can make a difference to people and the environment in which we live.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>By Davide
