The Seiko Prospex HBB002 marks two anniversaries at once: PADI's 60th year as the world's largest diving organization, and ten years of PADI and Seiko working together on diver safety, underwater exploration, and ocean conservation. Only 8,000 pieces exist worldwide.
At Lexor Miami, an authorized Seiko dealer, the HBB002 is in stock with limited quantities remaining. Here's what's built into this professional-grade diver.
The Seiko Prospex HBB002 is a 45mm stainless steel dive watch limited to 8,000 pieces worldwide, marking PADI's 60th anniversary and ten years of the Seiko-PADI partnership. It runs on the automatic Caliber 4R36 with roughly 41 hours of power reserve, is rated to 200m diver's water resistance, and includes a stainless steel bracelet plus a PADI-branded silicone strap. It's $750 through authorized dealer Lexor Miami.
What Is the Seiko x PADI Partnership?
PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is the world's largest diving organization — a global network of roughly 6,600 dive centers and resorts, 128,000 professional members, and more than 30 million certified divers to date. For over 60 years, PADI has set the standard for dive training, underwater safety, and conservation initiatives. The HBB002 celebrates both PADI's 60th anniversary and a decade of that organization's collaboration with Seiko on diver safety and ocean advocacy.
A Dial Built Around the PADI 60th Anniversary Logo
The dial's color story is pulled directly from PADI's 60th-anniversary branding: a bold blue base accented with red at the 6 o'clock position and on the seconds hand. A globe motif, derived from the PADI logo itself, spans across the dial — a detail that ties the watch directly to PADI's identity rather than borrowing it as an afterthought.
A Ceramic-Insert Bezel
The unidirectional rotating bezel uses a ceramic insert in a deep blue tone that both resists scratches and reinforces the overall dial design.
Two Straps for Two Kinds of Days
Beyond its robust stainless steel bracelet, the HBB002 includes a second, high-strength silicone strap printed with "Professional Association of Diving Instructors" — the accordion-style design is built to sit comfortably over a wetsuit as well as directly on the wrist.
What Movement Powers the HBB002?
At the center of this piece is Seiko's Caliber 4R36, an automatic movement built for genuine everyday and dive-ready reliability.
