Seiko Prospex ‘Tallest Peaks’ Limited edition SLA069J1

Seiko Prospex ‘Tallest Peaks’ Limited edition SLA069J1

This timepiece is a modern re-interpretation of the ‘Uemura Diver’ – the 1970 Seiko

Diver’s watch which proved itself in extreme conditions when worn by Japanese

adventurer Naomi Uemura during his 12,000-kilometre Arctic Circle dogsled

expedition.

By the age of 29, Naomi Uemura had climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, Mont Blanc and the

Matterhorn and in 1970 became the first Japanese mountaineer to summit Mount

Everest. Just three months later, he reached the top of Denali in Alaska (then known

as Mount McKinley) and thus became the first adventurer in the world to reach the

tallest peaks on five continents.

The detailed design on the dial of this watch is inspired by Uemura’s ascent of

Europe’s highest peak, Mont Blanc.

There are just 500 pieces of this timepiece available worldwide, accompanied by an

exclusive box inscribed with a quote from Naomi Uemura himself: “When one dream

is realized, other dreams will follow.” Powered by the in-house 8L35 mechanical

calibre, the watch is water resistant up to 200m.

Prospex is a combination of the words ‘Professional’ and ‘Specifications.’ Seiko

Prospex timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable; to meet the

high standards required in extreme environments for sports lovers and adventure

seekers alike.
