Common questions about the Seiko Prospex SPB147

How big is the Seiko Prospex SPB147?

The case measures 40.5mm across and 13.2mm thick, with a 20mm lug width. Case material: Steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

What movement is in the SPB147?

Caliber 6R35. Power reserve is 70 hours. It beats at 21,600 vph. The movement uses 24 jewels.

Is the SPB147 water resistant?

It is rated to 200 meters, about 656 feet. That is a diving rating: it is built for scuba use, not just for getting wet. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Does the SPB147 have a nickname?

Prospex '62MAS' reissue. Collector nicknames are not official Seiko names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
