A three-link stainless steel bracelet—featuring micro-adjustable clasp and wetsuit extension—ensures both comfort and robustness. It’s complemented by an additional Seichu-woven nylon strap crafted from recycled fishing nets, tied to Seiko’s sustainability efforts . Finished with a unidirectional bezel, magnetic resistance (4,800 A/m), and a “SPECIAL EDITION” engraved caseback, the SPB501J1 blends vintage styling, sustainable innovation, and professional performance
