Seiko Prospex Tuna Arnie Divers Solar Hybrid Black SNJ025P1

Seiko Watch Prospex Tuna Arnie Divers Solar Hybrid Black SNJ025P1.

One of the best and most surprising releases at Baselworld 2019 was this Seiko Arnie Prospex Divers Solar SNJ025P1 watch. This incredible timepiece is a reissue of a cult classic originally known as the Seiko H558 watch first introduced in 1982. It was not only considered the world’s first hybrid divers watch but it was also famous for being the exact watch Arnold Schwarzenegger personally owned and wore in many of his 80’s movies including Commando and The Predator.

Named after its original proprietor, the Seiko ‘Arnie’ watch is part of the brand’s Prospex Divers collection and follows closely the same design codes as its early counterpart. The all-black aesthetic looks striking on the wrist and fastens comfortably by a soft black matching silicon strap. The case of the Seiko Arnie Prospex Divers Solar Hybrid Black SNJ025P1 watch measures to 47.8mm in size, a slight increase from the original, and is crafted from polished stainless steel. The largest difference between the new Seiko SNJ025 Solar Arnie and the original is the movement which powers the functions displayed on the black dial. The H558 model was powered by a standard quartz calibre whereas this new Seiko Arnie watch is equipped with Seiko’s famous Solar technology. The H851 movement equips the timepiece with chronograph function, alarm, calendar and dual time. The functions are presented beautifully beneath hardlex crystal glass by a digital display and Superluminova coated analog hands and indices.
