Immerse yourself in the iconic legacy of Seiko with the Prospex Solar "Tuna" SNE498J, a watch that encapsulates both heritage and innovation. This remarkable timepiece is the modern embodiment of the legendary 1978 original quartz "Tuna" model, reimagined for today's discerning divers and watch enthusiasts. The Seiko Prospex is not just a watch; it's a statement of history, meticulous craftsmanship, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
The design of the Seiko Prospex Sea Solar is instantly recognizable and undeniably captivating, with its distinctive shrouded divers' architecture. The golden bezel, complemented by golden shroud screws, offers a striking contrast to the understated yet powerful black shroud, strap, and dial. This sophisticated palette is completed with silver hands that glide with precision over the dial, creating a harmonious visual symphony that is both classic and contemporary.
Seiko, a name synonymous with horological excellence, was founded in 1881 in Ginza, Tokyo. Over the decades, Seiko has evolved from a humble watch and clock repair shop into a global powerhouse of timekeeping innovation. The brand's commitment to quality is evidenced by its total in-house manufacturing process, ensuring each timepiece delivers not just accuracy, but an embodiment of Japanese aesthetics and dedication to detail.
The Seiko Prospex Solar "Tuna" is not merely a watch; it is an experience. It brings together the depth of Seiko's rich history with modern solar technology, ensuring your connection with time is both sustainable and reliable. For those who demand precision with style, this timepiece offers unparalleled functionality beneath its ruggedly elegant exterior, making it a perfect companion not only for underwater adventures but also for everyday journeys.
Wearing the Seiko Prospex Solar "Tuna" SNE498J is a celebration of Seiko's storied past and a testament to its forward-thinking ethos. It is for individuals who appreciate the fusion of tradition with modernity, and who understand that a watch is not just about telling time but about telling a story, yours and Seiko's intertwined.

Great looking watch, and in spite of its size, it’s very light and comfortable to wear. I also like the fact that it’s easy to set the time and date.
It's good to look at, well-made and just really hard to fault. With the SNE498J you get the restrained bling of the gold tones at various points on the casing and strap, plus the delightful Tuna sizing, a venerable solar movement and ISO-standard dive-watch robustness. The hands and indices are lovely, and the lume is extraordinary. You might prefer a stainless steel bracelet (such as that found on the SNE497J) but the silicone strap offered here is high quality and complete the overall look nicely. Drilled lugs will assist strap-changing. The solar movement's battery can be expected to last for around ten years (and really shouldn't be particuarly difficult or expensive to replace.) In the meantime, you can be confident of having 200 metres of water resistance for an attractive watch which you can rely on.
Very happy with the look and feel of this watch. Great service and price from Watch Direct.
Wear it most of the time between this and my Arnie. Prompt service. Will buy from you again
