What to know

The HBC010 is a Europe-exclusive interpretation of Seiko’s compact 1965 Heritage Diver. Its sunray dark-green dial and matching bezel take inspiration from Lake Hallstatt in Austria, while gilt hands, markers and cream-toned LumiBrite add warmth. The 40mm steel case is 13mm thick and comes on an adjustable bracelet with an additional black silicone strap.
