Original vintage 1982 Seiko "Training Makes You Beautiful​​​" advertisement for a two men's and two women's watches, to include the iconic Seiko H558 "Arnie" analog/digital dive watch, which originally ran in Japan's Popeye magazine (think GQ, but Japanese).     
 
Dimensions: Approx. 8 inches wide by 10 inches high
 
We regularly carry three of these four watches in this advert - the aforementioned epic 1980s Seiko H558-5000 Arnie diver, 1980s Seiko 2625-0170 diver and two-tone 1980's Seiko SilverWave "Royal Oak" 3423-0190 women's sport diver.
 
Seiko's 1980s H558 was worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who noted it as his "favorite watch" (while chomping on a cigar and yelling "Get to the choppa!" we imagine) in a string of action movies that set the bar for, well, action, in the 1980s.
 
Epic 1980s films like “Predator" (1987), “Raw Deal" (1986), “Commando" (1985), - which still has the highest fatality count in an action move, I mean, if you’re into that sort of thing - "Running Man" (1987), and "Twins" (1988). And yes, even the epic "Terminator 2" (1991).
 
In 2019, Seiko would re-release the watch under its Prospex line, and even these continue to carry the sale Arnie moniker. It's worth quoting in-depth Fratello's feelings for the Seiko H558 Arnie - "Now, I feel a bit like an old geezer in saying this because I realize some of our readers might be a bit younger, but Schwarzenegger was massive in the 80’s and early 90’s. Sure, there were other action stars (Stallone, Van Damme, Lundgren, and others), but Arnie kicked the most ass."
 
"Plus, he was hard not to like and due to his often self-deprecating style of acting, there was a genuine feel about him. People liked him so much that he was elected governor of California – twice – as a Republican! ...I’ll cut to the chase, the Seiko H558 Arnie is a cool watch and certainly worthy of the collectable status that it enjoys. "
 
Released in 1982 (with a production run through circa 1990), the Seiko H558 was the first hybrid dive watch rated to 150 meters. The Japanese are well known for their extreme adventures around the world, and Seiko wanted to provide a watch whose users could rely on with their lives.
