1970 Heritage Diver's Naomi Uemura Limited Edition. Designed for those who treat life as the ultimate adventure, the Seiko Prospex line meets every challenge with technological excellence and style. Part of a rich legacy of innovation in high-intensity timekeeping, Prospex continues to celebrate a long history of sports watch expertise with re-creations and re-interpretations of landmark achievements. A tribute to legendary adventurer, Naomi Uemura, this extraordinary timepiece, available only in a controlled-production run of 500, with the serial number engraved on each caseback, is a re-interpretation of Seiko’s renowned 1970 diver’s watch, prized for its flowing lines, solid construction, then-remarkable 150-meter water resistance, and protected crown at 4 o’clock. This exceptional watch proved its reliability in extreme conditions when it was worn by Uemura during his 1,200-kilometer solo journey across the Arctic Circle. To commemorate Uemura’s distinction as the first mountaineer to reach the summits of the highest peaks on five continents, the textured white dial features an image of the distinctive silhouette of Europe’s Mont Blanc, the first of these climbs. Depicting the mountain from the angle Uemura used for his ascent, the dial uses pressing and etching to add depth and evoke the rocky and snowy surface. The blue of the crown and the edge of the black uni-directional elapsed timing bezel suggests the blue shadows cast on the snow surrounding the peak. Crafted of stainless steel with durable super-hard coating, this masterfully updated design is powered by the caliber 8L35 26-jewel automatic movement, hand-assembled at Seiko’s Shizukuishi watch studio with the increased torque necessary for smooth operation of the enlarged diver’s watch hands, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, power reserve of approximately 50 hours, and manual winding capability. Following ISO standards for scuba diving to depths of up to 200 meters, this superbly functional watch includes a date calendar, LumiBrite markers and hands for enhanced legibility, a curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, screwdown crown and caseback, and tri-fold push button release clasp with secure lock and extender. Packaged in a Limited Edition collectors’ box inscribed with Uemura’s words “When one dream is realized, other dreams will follow.” 200m Water Resistant

What Our Clients Say About Us

First off, I want to say that I absolutely love my new Seiko SPB503J1 “Alpinist”, which I purchased from Hislon Jewelry. At 34, it was finally time to buy my first “big boy” watch, and after extensive research, I landed on this absolute beauty. I contacted multiple authorized Seiko dealers in the area, and Hislon Jewelry was the only one that not only had several Alpinists in stock but was also willing to accommodate my late schedule. From the moment my wife and I walked into their showroom, I knew I made the right choice. Their display featured an impressive collection of Seiko, King Seiko, Michele, Tissot, and Rolex watches—clearly a store that takes pride in quality and selection. We were helped by Paige, who was both kind and extremely knowledgeable. However, what truly set Hislon Jewelry apart was the customer service that followed after the sale. I’ll admit—I can be a bit neurotic when it comes to expensive purchases. After leaving the store wearing my watch, I started to worry that the clasp might not be fully secure (this may very well have been in my head). My wife suggested we stop by the next morning to have it looked at. Once again, Paige assisted us, and whether my concern was valid or not, she handled everything with complete grace and professionalism. She offered to swap the watch for another one and readjusted it so it fit perfectly. She never made me feel rushed, dismissed, or uncomfortable. Instead, she made me feel heard and taken care of—and that speaks volumes about the level of professionalism at Hislon Jewelry. I am 100% satisfied with both my purchase and the service I received. I would highly recommend Hislon Jewelry for all your watch and jewelry needs, and I will absolutely be back when it’s time to add the next piece to my collection.

Working with Paige Ibrahim and Jeff I can’t say enough about my experience I decided to trade in some gold and gems that I have accumulated thru the years and past generations Gold was at an all time high and I decided to trade in and reinvent the jewels I had inherited One piece which was spectacular will always be close to my heart A little of my dad’s and mom. We created a spectacular piece I’m so grateful

I can’t say enough good things about this jewelry store! The staff are honest, reliable, and truly care about their customers. They take the time to explain everything and make sure you’re completely comfortable with your purchase. It’s such a relief to find a jeweler I can trust — I won’t go anywhere else now!

I‘ve always shopped at big box jewelry stores and this week I came across this nice gem of a place -no pun intended- Hislon Jewelry. The first thing that caught my attention was the selection of watches, but I was on a mission to buy a chain. Jeff greeted me and showed me the different chain styles and gave me a lot of information on the price of gold. I felt very comfortable and the quality of the fine jewelry was excellent. I definitely enjoyed my shopping experience and I won’t be going to a big box store anymore!
