FAQ
What water resistance rating is required for scuba diving?
ISO 6425 certification requires a minimum of 100m water resistance for a watch to be considered a true diver's watch. Seiko's professional dive watches typically offer 200m or greater water resistance for added safety margins.
Are Seiko dive watches suitable for saturation diving?
Select Seiko models, particularly the Marinemaster line, feature helium escape valves designed for saturation diving environments. These models are built to withstand the extreme conditions encountered during extended deep-water operations.
How do I choose between automatic and quartz for diving?
Automatic movements offer the convenience of self-winding through wrist motion but require regular wear. Quartz movements provide superior accuracy and reliability in extreme conditions but require periodic battery replacement.
