There are many vintage Seiko divers popular with collectors, and the diver here – a 1993 Seiko SBBC001 (7N35-6000) dive watch, on its original stainless-steel Seiko bracelet and with Seiko inner/outer boxes, instructions manual, and warranty paperwork – continues the Seiko reputation for building robust, stylish, and purpose-built divers for a wide-range of professional adventurers.
 
Seiko introduced the 7N35 diver line here in 1991, and it came in a range of dial colors, to include the silver/white variant here, but also black and even blue pearl.
 
Military forces the world over have long took note of Seiko’s dive watch lines, with their reliable movements – during its heyday and even today, Seiko divers are popular with various armed forces for this same reason, despite the widely held (false) assumption that military personnel only wear military watches issued to them.
 
With good reason, Seiko divers continue to have a tremendous cult following, despite Seiko's odd decision to discontinue its iconic legendary SKX divers in 2018 - Seiko dive designs are usually simple and robust, with strong evidence of Seiko divers that came before it – of which the 7N35 bears testament – to the instantly recognizable Seiko 7002 automatic, 7548 quartz, and even the famous 6309 diver.
 
Hollywood has also taken note, and usually chooses to adorn the wrist of A-list Hollywood in war films with a Seiko, to include figures like Robert Redford, Ed Harris, Martin Sheen, and Mick Jagger.
 
This Seiko diver comes on its original stainless-steel Seiko bracelet, and with box & papers, nylon strap, rugged travel case, and springbar tool.
