Seiko Prospex PADI SNE549 Seiko Dive Watch Review
Rebecca Strauss
Rebecca has been an avid traveler and scuba diver for many years. She began her editorial career by updating travel guides, which took her all over...
Although the Seiko SNE549 Prospex PADI Solar debuted long ago, it’s still topping the charts when it comes to sought-after dive watches. Made of stainless steel with a solid screwdown crown and caseback, as well as a tri-fold push-button release clasp, this watch will stand the test of time.
Bold blue and red colors combine in this eco-friendly true diver, which offers up to 650 feet (200 m) of water resistance. More features include a date calendar with magnified glass, a one-way rotating elapsed bezel, and LumiBrite hands and markers. You can use any light source to power up the energy-efficient solar cell, which offers up to 10 months’ power reserve when the watch is fully charged.
