Recently, Seiko officially launched two new diving watches, HBF001 and HBF002. They have been fully upgraded based on the classic diving watches released in 1968. They not only innovate in terms of movement, materials, appearance design, etc., but also greatly improve the comfort and waterproof performance of the watches.

The new watch pays great attention to details in its appearance design. The case is made of fine steel, which has been brushed, polished and super-hard coated, which not only improves the hardness of the watch but also reduces the occurrence of scratches. At the same time, the fine steel material also allows the watch to have good weight control. Both watches have a diameter of 42.6mm, a thickness of 14.1mm, and a distance of 49.3mm between the upper and lower lugs. They are very comfortable to wear.

In terms of movement, both HBF001 and HBF002 are equipped with Caliber 8L45 automatic movement, with a vibration frequency of 28,800 times per hour and a power reserve of 72 hours. For a diving watch, this number is already quite good.

The biggest highlight of HBF001 and HBF002 is their dial design. HBF001 uses a classic black dial, while HBF002 has a vertical gradient blue dial, which is inspired by the color of the hull of the polar icebreaker. Moreover, HBF002 is a watch with a limited edition of 1,000 pieces. As a joint model, its collection value will be more prominent.

LumiBrite material

Although the black dial is very classic, who doesn’t love the gorgeous blue gradient? Moreover, both watches are equipped with LumiBrite material, which can still clearly see the time in a dark environment, which is very important for diving enthusiasts.

The most important thing about a diving watch is its waterproof performance, and both of these watches are waterproof to 300 meters, which is already a very good result among diving watches. Moreover, Seiko has always done a good job in waterproof performance, which users can feel more at ease with.

Summarize

Talking about price, HBF001 is priced at 3,800 euros, while HBF002 is priced at 4,100 euros. Both watches will be available in July 2026. Although there is still some time before they go on sale, as a limited edition, they will definitely be sold out quickly. Friends who are interested in it should prepare as soon as possible.
