Accessorize Right Pairing Seiko Watches with Seasonal Fashion Trends
A timeless watch is more than just a way to keep track of time—it's a statement, a conversation starter, and often the finishing touch that completes an outfit. Among the world's most respected watchmakers, Seiko has consistently delivered quality, precision, and style. From sleek dress watches to rugged dive pieces, Seiko offers versatility that allows wearers to seamlessly integrate their timepieces into seasonal fashion trends. Here's how you can accessorize right by pairing Seiko watches with the trends of each season. Spring is the season of renewal, with soft pastels, floral patterns, and lightweight fabrics dominating wardrobes. The mood is fresh, bright, and optimistic. To complement this vibe, opt for Seiko watches with minimalist dials and lighter materials. The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time 'Sky Diving' model with its cool blue dial and stainless steel bracelet captures the lightness of spring perfectly. Its subtle elegance pairs well with linen shirts, pastel blazers, and floral dresses. Alternatively, the Seiko 5 Sports collection offers canvas straps and bold dial colors that echo spring's playful energy. Style Tip: Match a light-toned leather or fabric strap with your spring wardrobe. A beige or pale blue watch band pairs beautifully with off-white trousers and chambray shirts. Summer fashion is often bold, colorful, and relaxed. Think short sleeves, breathable fabrics, and vibrant patterns. Accessories during this time should not only add flair but also withstand the elements. This makes summer the perfect season for Seiko's Prospex line, Seiko Coutura especially their dive watches. The Seiko Prospex 'Turtle' Diver's Watch, with its robust build and water resistance, is ideal for beach trips and poolside lounging. The bright dials—such as orange, blue, or green—add a splash of fun and pair effortlessly with swimwear, board shorts, and casual polos. Style Tip: Coordinate your watch strap with your swim trunks or beachwear for a cohesive and stylish look. Silicone or NATO straps are great for their durability and comfort in hot, humid conditions. As temperatures drop and layers re-emerge, fall fashion leans into earthy tones like browns, burgundies, and deep greens. This season calls for warm textures—wool, corduroy, and leather dominate. A watch that complements this color palette can elevate your look. The Seiko Presage 'Sharp Edged' Series with Seiko 5 Sports textured brown or green dials is an excellent choice. These watches often feature leather straps, which work harmoniously with fall staples like suede jackets, flannel shirts, and tweed blazers. Style Tip: Opt for a watch with a leather strap that matches or contrasts subtly with your boots or belt. A dark brown strap paired with a plaid shirt and camel coat creates a refined autumn ensemble. Winter fashion is defined by darker colors, structured layers, and sophisticated silhouettes. Fabrics like wool, cashmere, and velvet dominate, and accessories take on a more polished, refined feel. This is the season for classic Seiko dress watches. The Seiko Presage 'Zen Garden' or 'White Birch' models in stainless steel exude quiet luxury. Their intricate dials and refined details pair well with formalwear, such as tailored suits, overcoats, and leather gloves. If you're dressing up for holiday gatherings or formal dinners , a Seiko Premier Chronograph adds a subtle touch of glamour. Its gold-tone accents or Roman numeral markers enhance winter's opulent aesthetic. Style Tip: Choose metallic watch finishes to contrast the deep hues of winter clothing. A silver watch stands out against navy or black wool, while a gold-toned model adds warmth to a burgundy or emerald ensemble. While it's fun to match your Seiko watch to seasonal styles, investing in versatile pieces ensures year-round usability. Consider watches with interchangeable straps—leather, metal, and fabric—that can adapt to different outfits and occasions. Additionally, balance is key. If your outfit is loud, opt for a simpler watch. If your attire is neutral or minimalist, a bolder watch can act as a statement piece. Conclusion A Seiko watch is more than a timekeeping tool—it's a reflection of personal style and adaptability. With each season bringing its own fashion trends and colors, your Seiko can serve as the anchor that ties everything together. Whether you're strolling through cherry blossoms in spring or sipping hot cocoa in winter, there's a Seiko that can enhance your look while staying true to timeless craftsmanship. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Seiko's New Anniversary Marinemaster Dive Watch Is a Exclusive Must-Have
It's been 60 years since Seiko introduced Japan's first dive watch. Over the six decades that followed the debut, the watchmaker has continued to push the boundaries of what could be expected from these dynamic timepieces. Increased concentration on safety and reliability helped the brand build an immense following of its underwater tickers that today is represented by its Prospex collection. Now, with its 60th anniversary finally here, Seiko is commemorating the milestone with the addition of three new watches into the series: the Marinemaster, as well as the silver-dialed homage to their 1965 diver's watch and a blue-dialed version made to reflect the design of their 1968 diver's watch. The Marinemaster SLA081 may be the most-impressive of the bunch, though, featuring everything from a new Caliber 8L45 mechanical watch movement, a one-piece titanium case that's water resistant up to 600 meters, and a stainless-steel bezel that's been treated with diamond-like carbon coating made to be scratch resistant. The Caliber 8L45 movement uses Seiko's proprietary titanium alloy, Spron, which was designed for durability against breakage, rust, and wear. It also provides 72 hours of power reserve and operates within a tolerance of +10 to -5 seconds per day. The case features the word "PROFESSIONAL" inscribed across the dial, while a specially developed L-shaped gasket prevents helium infiltration, eliminating the need for an escape valve. The Marinemaster uses classic Seiko dive watches to influence its design, including their 1975 release. A textured dial, meanwhile, reminds wearers of the deep sea, while a thick finish enhances the level of perceivable depth. The bracelet is made from titanium and features rounded links for added flexibility and comfort. With the Seiko Prospex collection,the brand actively supports the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) research team. The Marinemaster will become part of JAMSTEC's Arctic research program in 2025. Just 600 of these watches will be released in select Seiko Boutiques and retail stores worldwide come July, and are priced at $4,600. The silver SPB511 is priced at $1,400 and available in May while the blue SB509 costs $1,750 and drops in June with only 6,000 pieces.

Prospex Energy to acquire Warrego Energy's shares in Tarba Energía
Prospex Energy has signed a binding agreement to acquire 100% of Tarba Energía, enhancing its stake in European gas projects. The acquisition involves purchasing Warrego Energy's entire shareholding in Tarba, which holds investments in the El Romeral production concessions and associated gas-to-power plants in southern Spain. Under the terms of the shareholders agreement with Warrego, Prospex, through its subsidiary PXOG Muirhill, exercised its pre-emption right to purchase Warrego's shares. This right was triggered by a share sale and purchase agreement between Warrego and a third-party buyer. The acquisition price for Warrego's shares totals €652,725 ($709,205), with €100,000 payable upon approval of drilling permits for three of five wells under regulatory review. Prospex will fund the acquisition using existing cash resources and has until 19 April 2025 to complete the transaction. Prospex CEO Mark Routh said: "I am extremely pleased to announce the increased ownership in Tarba, the El Romeral concessions and the related gas-to-power plant in Carmona. Importantly the acquisition is being made using accumulated cash reserves from our investment portfolio and is expected to lead to significantly increased production revenue once the permits to drill the five new wells on the EL Romeral concessions are approved. "In terms of prospective gas resources acquired in the El Romeral asset alone, the equivalent price of $0.092/boe [barrel of oil equivalent] is an excellent price by almost any measure. Prospex sees further upside in the concessions with further mapped structures to evaluate and drill once the first five wells have been permitted and drilled." Additionally, the buyer must pay Warrego a 5% gross overriding royalty on future Tesorillo Project revenues. The purchase price, matched to the third-party offer, reflects an independently derived value for the assets. Currently, the El Romeral asset accounts for 10% of Prospex's net production. Post-acquisition, it will represent approximately 20% of the company's enlarged net production. Prospex's other assets include the Viura field in northern Spain and the Selva Malvezzi asset in Italy. Drilling operations at the Viura gas field, operated by HEYCO Energy, are delayed by six to eight weeks. The operations are now expected to commence in May 2025 due to operational reasons.

This Prospex trio celebrate 60 years of Seiko dive watches
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Japanese watchmaker Seiko is celebrating sixty years of dive watches by adding a trio of limited-edition timepieces to its Prospex collection. It was in 1965 that Seiko received a letter from a professional diver, explaining how they wanted a watch that wouldn't be damaged when taken deep under water. This prompted the creation of Seiko's (and Japan's) first purpose-built diver's watch. To mark 60 years since then, Seiko has added three new dive watches to its Prospex family. They are called the Marinemaster Shinkai 600m Saturation Diver, the 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT, and the 1965 Heritage Diver's 60th Anniversary. We'll go through these in price order, starting with the most affordable. This is the Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver's 60th Anniversary, which is priced at £1,270 and limited to 6,000 pieces. It is a modern recreation of the 62MAS Seiko dive watch from 1965, and features a textured light grey dial, a dark grey rotating bezel and a date window at the half-past-four position. Made from stainless steel, it's driven by the in-house 6R55 automatic mechanical movement with 72 hours of power reserve, and is water resistant to 300 metres. Next up is the 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT 60th Anniversary, which costs £1,600 and is also limited to 6,000 pieces. This watch has a GMT and, so can show two different time zones at once, and also has a date window at the half-past-four position. This stainless steel watch also has a wave-style design to its dial, which is this time coloured blue, along with the rotating bezel. It pays tribute to the 1968 Diver, Seiko's first one-piece case hi-beat diver's watch with 300 metres of water resistance, and also has 72 hours of power reserve. In a first for any Prospex watch, both the 1965 and 1968 models come with a short-pitch length bracelet featuring a micro-adjustable clasp, for making small adjustments and to find the perfect fit. Finally, the trio is completed by the Prospex Marinemaster Shinkai 60th Anniversary 600m Saturation Diver. This watch carries a price tag of £4,130 and is limited to just 600 pieces. Seiko says this is its most advanced dive watch to date, and it features a blue dial made with a new structure of layered transparency. It's designed to resemble the ocean waters, and its name – Shinkai – is Japanese for 'deep sea'. Justifying the higher price, this watch is made from lightweight titanium with what Seiko describes as a 'superhard coating' on the case and bracelet. This is joined by a 'diamond-like coating' on the rotating bezel to ensure scratch resistance. Water resistant to 600 metres, the watch is powered by Seiko's new 8L45 in-house automatic movement, which also has three days of power reserve.
