Seiko Prospex SRPB61K1

This was my first seiko that I bought new. Before that it was a 20 dollar vintage I found at a flea market. There's not much video or article about this watch when I first bought it and I think it's a shame because this is a really cool aviation watch from seiko. It is big at 44mm and 50mm lug to lug but I do have big wrist so I can definitely wear it. Somebody says it look like if Breitling and Hamilton had a baby and I can't unsee it. I love the slide rule bezel, the numeral, the hands, the white chapter ring, the single domed hardlex, and how much of a strap monster it is. And it was less than 180 bucks. One of my favorites out of the collection for sure.

I don't think it has a name. I called it the prospex sky because they used to have a sea, land, and sky concept for their prospex line. But they rarely put out watches in the sky concept so I kinda adopt that name for just this watch.

I found :

I've also seen it called a Navitimer on other sites.

There's no way🫢. Here in my country there's three different store that sell it for 184 from just a quick search. I guess they don't sell these outside of asia??? But no I know a guy from canada that buy it for about 200-250

Probably from the similar designs as the Breitling navitimer. You know how it goes, seiko don't officially have a name unless somebody coin it and it become to iconic to ignore by seiko.

Thank you, I really like this watch

Thanks! Beautiful watch and now it's on my list. I hate seeing old out of stock listings at less than half of the eBay price but at least we are talking Seiko second hand/ grey market prices ($500).

I guess they don't sell this in the US? We still have a handful of stock here
