Seiko Prospex Solar Arnie Dive Watch

Featuring on action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger’s muscular wrist in multiple 1980s films (in both Commando, and Predator), the Seiko 1982 Hybrid Diver watch features a technical look as well as solid tech specs including solar charging and Seiko’s famously rugged construction. The original version was recognized as the first dive watch to feature a digital alarm chronograph with combination analog display. The modern re-issue of the Seiko "Arnie" Diver is even better than the original, they are now powered by exposure to light, and hold a charge for up to six months. Many of the same features from the original are held over in the modern interpretation: chronograph with a digital readout, as well as time, date, and alarm functionality through the digital screen. The new watches also feature a power reserve indicator, dual time capability, are water resistant to 200 meters and ISO certified for SCUBA diving. Available in three different options with slightly different colorways (SNJ025 / SNJ027 / SNJ028).

20 Microbrand and Independent Watches Worth Knowing

The best microbrand watches make a convincing case for looking beyond the familiar names.
