Limited edition watch launched by Seiko and BEAMS
Following the launch of the Seiko xBEAMS joint Prospex diving watch this year, Seiko has made another move. Recently, Seiko announced that it will officially launch its second joint watch – Seiko xBEAMS Monster on April 18, 2025, with a global limited edition of 300 pieces. The price of this watch is 82,500 yen, equivalent to about 4,000 yuan.
Design and functions of new watches
The new watch is still based on Prospex SKX781, so it is also called a “monster”. The watch has a diameter of 42.4 mm and a thickness of 13.4 mm. It is made of fine steel and has 200 meters of waterproof performance. The biggest difference from the SKX781 is that the design of the bezel and the mark at 12 o’clock resembles the teeth of a monster, making it more vivid.
Dial and readability design
The gray dial of the new watch is decorated with sunray patterns, and the 6/9/12 o’clock positions are Arabic numerals. The hands and hour markers are inlaid with LumiBrite fluorescent material to ensure that the time can still be read clearly in low light conditions.
