If that’s an important feature for you, check out the SLA021 (and get your wallet ready). Part of a rich legacy of innovation in high-intensity timekeeping, Prospex continues to celebThe SPB187 may find its inspiration in the vaunted reference 6159, but it differs in one big way and that’s the departure from the monobloc steel case the original was known for. Designed for those who treat life as the ultimate adventure, the Seiko Prospex line meets every challenge with technological excellence and style.

Another case feature you can’t exactly see is the DiaShield application for added hardness and scratch resistance.Prospex SPB237J - Analogue - 3 Hands - buy online from Seiko Boutique Sydney (02) 9805 4747 Melbourne (03) 9644 5510 General & Online Sales Enquiries 1300 368 546 Seiko Boutique WatchesThe case remains the biggest differentiator between the SPB187, the SPB149, and the SPB153 (and their various colorways). It’s aggressive in appearance and carries a near equal amount of visual weight as the dial itself. Looking from the top down you can see the chamfer running the length of the case, with only a small percentage of the brushed lug surface leftover. It’s shaped in a way that hides much of the heft on the wrist and creates a variety of surfaces, both brushed and polished, to catch light.
While not a deal breaker it is a quick that, once noticed, is hard to un-notice.The bracelet on offer from Seiko here is the least remarkable feature of the SPB187. It’s worth noting the press images did not show this bit of lume, and neither the SPB149 or SPB153 share this feature. It even gets its own steel surround, creating quite a bit of visual tension at 3 o’clock.

The movement allows for hacking and quick date setting, and provides an impressive 70 hours of reserve. But if you’re the bracelet type, this one will get the job done, even if it doesn’t leave you inspired.Seiko is using their 6R35 automatic caliber in the SPB187 and SPB185, much the same as you’ll find in other popular Prospex models in this price range. Thankfully, Seiko divers are well known strap monsters and the 187 is no exception. While not in use, the bracelet is a bit on the rattley side, falling short of what we’ve seen from the likes of Christopher Ward and Monta.
For my money, the SPB149 is still the clear choice of the bunch, but the 185 and 187 offer a compelling, strangely fresh take on Seiko dive watch formula.
