Watch Description
The Seiko Prospex SNE585 is a 38mm diameter dive watch with a solar powered quartz movement (Seiko caliber V174) that features a 10 month power reserve (when fully charged with light). It has a brushed and polished stainless steel case with blue dial and matching blue 120-click uni-directional bezel. The powerful Seiko LumiBrite luminescent material is used to fill the hands and hour markers for amazingly bright luminescence in the dark. Sunlight is best for charging the solar cell, but a bright lamp will work also.
The SNE585 has a scratch resistant sapphire crystal, a solid screw-in case back, a date window at 3:00, and it is water resistant to 200 meters. The watch is mounted on a 20mm stainless steel bracelet with a double pushbutton foldover clasp, with safety latch, and a diver's extension. To fine tune the fit to your wrist, there are 4 positions of micro-adjust.
Note: This model also has drilled lugs to enable quicker and easier strap changes (if you prefer a change at some point). The watch is quite comfortable to wear and is suited for a small to medium size wrist.
