Seiko Announces a Partnership with PADI, the World's Largest Diving Network

Since the launch of Seiko's first diver's watch in 1965, Seiko has brought to professional divers a stream of innovative new technologies and designs that have made diving safer and easier for the professional and recreational diver alike. These innovations include the world's first titanium diver's watch in 1975, the first diver's watch with a ceramic outer case in 1986 and the first Nitrox Dive Computer watch in 2000. Thanks to these advances and to the supreme quality of their diver's watches, Seiko has earned a high reputation of trust in the diving community.

By a strange co-incidence, a few months after Seiko's first diver's watch appeared two American dive enthusiasts decided that standards of training in diving needed to be raised and founded the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI). Over the past fifty years, PADI has become the world's most trusted scuba diving training organization. With over 6,300 Dive Centers and more than 136,000 qualified PADI professional instructors around the world, PADI has issued an amazing 24 million certifications and has done more than any other organization to introduce diving to the world.

Seiko and PADI share a passion for ensuring the safety and enjoyment of divers and for protection of the marine environment, so a partnership felt very right. Seiko is proud to announce its support to PADI and, in particular, its 'Project Aware' initiative. Project AWAREis a global movement of scuba divers coming together to protect our oceans - one dive at a time.

To celebrate and promote this partnership, two Prospex PADI Special Editions will be released this autumn. Both special models feature PADI's characteristic red and blue color on the dials and the bezels, and the PADI logo on the dials.

That is very cool. I mean project and watches as well. I have dive with padi instructors last summer and I really enjoyed it.
Never like turtle that much to consider buying one, but this one is definitely cool. SUN065 nice as well but too big for my 6.75 wrist.

Wow! is that a sunburst/metallic blue dial? I admit I haven't been too hot for the turtle but this model is a looker, hope it's not going to come with LE pricing though.

Keep on it please. :) I haven't made a move on the reissue as yet, and I am pretty keen on the PADI model. A bit gaudy in some respect, but suits my environment nicely. Sporty is "in" for me ;-)

I'm sure the whole team will be watching for this one. Long way 'till fall, but no money down, no drama. Yay!
