WOW and Thong Sia celebrated Seiko’s storied Prospex legacy with collectors, unveiling historic models alongside new limited editions that honour six decades of design and engineering excellence.
Seiko is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Prospex collection this year with novelties that reference the storied past of the dive watch collection. In conjunction, WOW and Seiko distributor Thong Sia Co Pte Ltd hosted a gathering of collectors, enthusiasts and readers to get a look at the museum pieces and a few of the current releases.
WOW Singapore Editor-in-Chief Ashok Soman engaged in a lively conversation with Thong Sia Sales Manager Teddy Chan about evolution of Seiko dive watch models, with the historic models as reference. The talk also explained how the aesthetic and emotional cues from the 1965, 1968, 1970 and 1975 models informs current collection limited editions SLA081, SPB511 and SPB509. The audience also learned about the new calibre 8L45, which debuted in SLA081 and also happens to power the new King Seiko VANAC models.
The evening not only highlighted Seiko’s technical milestones and design evolution but also reaffirmed the enduring spirit of Prospex. Carrying this legacy forward, Seiko continues to inspire a new generation of collectors while honouring six decades of dive watch excellence.
