Seiko Prospex LX Line Spring Drive 300M Diver Limited Edition "Kokebozu" Green Dial
SBDB039
(Intl. Version Model: SNR045)
Limited Edition of 500pcs
A new limited edition watch Seiko Prospex LX Line SBDB039 (SNR045J1) inspired by the Antarctic, in which Seiko diver’s watches have their roots, joins the LX line. The dial of this SBDB039 (SNR045J1) captures the mysterious underwater forest at the bottom of a lake near Skarvsnes Foreland in Antarctica.
The Skarvsnes Foreland is located approximately 55 kilometres from Showa station, a Japanese research station in Antarctica. In this area, Japanese researchers discovered a mysterious underwater forest of moss pillars covering the bottom of a nearby lake. The unique moss pillars take many centuries to form underwater. When discovered by Japanese researchers, they were affectionately named "kokebozu,” a Japanese word that combines koke - moss, and bouzu - a young boy.
It is known today that the Seiko Prospex LX Line kokebozu is not made from one type of plant life alone but from moss and various algae and bacteria that coexist. This limited edition brings to life the mysterious scenery of the underwater forest and the moss pillars brought to life by the extremity of Antarctica’s waters. As you can see from the dial of this limited-edition timepiece, the accent was brought directly to your wrist.
Based on the historic 1968 Diver’s, Seiko’s first diver’s watch had 300m water resistance and a high-beat movement. This timepiece features the uncompromising specifications of a professional diver’s watch, including water resistance for saturation diving to a depth of 300 meters, a unidirectional bezel fitted with a robust cermet exterior panel, and a clasp with a push-button diver-adjusted mechanism.
The letters “LIMITED EDITION” and the serial number are engraved on the case back to reflect the rareness of this timeless masterpiece.
