A Watch You Don’t Want to Miss: Seiko Prospex Samurai Series
A Brief History of the Seiko Samurai
Since its launch in 2004 in Japan, the Seiko Samurai quickly turned into a legend among dive watches. The series was nicknamed as such because the hands were shaped like swords, and the angular lines of its case resembled the samurai warrior's sword. Over the years, generations have passed, and with them, new materials and limited editions that keep the Samurai series enchanting.
The first generation Samurai watches came in both titanium and stainless steel versions, each displaying Seiko's commitment to precision and craftsmanship. It was these design elements and the watch's bold silhouette that made it a standout within the Seiko dive watch collection and helped it gain popularity among both professional divers and collectors.

The Iconic Design of the Samurai
Unique angular case design, sharp edges, and bold lines define the Samurai series of watches, setting them apart from any other dive watches. This is a watch that's as bold as its namesake, with functional precision put together in a timeless aesthetic. The sharp geometric shape of the case strongly resembles the helmet of the samurai warrior-a true testament to strength and a reflection of the philosophy of its design.
The Samurai has undergone many generations, from the original to the second and third-Seiko King Samurai-also including special editions like the PADI and Save the Ocean models. Each one has built upon the last, refining the angular case while retaining the core that makes the Samurai so unforgettable.
Why is it a must-have Samurai? The unique, timeless design of the watch, besides its reliable movement, simply stands out among the pieces from Seiko Prospex. With its case shape being unique and its quality higher than the price would suggest, this is an investment that is worth every penny.
