Robust Looks Meet Everyday Usability
The newly released "PROSPEX DIVER SCUBA Produced by LOWERCASE" is a solar chronograph with a striking sporty yet urban aesthetic.
The professional series, originating from a 1975 model with an external protector that became synonymous with SEIKO divers' watches due to its high reliability and unique appearance, was supervised by Yoshikage Kajiwara, Creative Director at LOWERCASE, known for his consultation work with numerous renowned brands.
While retaining its robust design, the size has been made more compact, enhancing its suitability for casual, everyday wear. It comes packaged in a special box with the LOWERCASE logo, and the case back is engraved with a serial number.
There are three models in the lineup. Each is a limited edition of 3,000 units.
