WHEN THE MOST prestigious awards ceremony in luxury watchmaking directs the spotlight on a watch twice consecutively, you know there’s something extra special about it.

At the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, which is unanimously regarded as the Oscars of fine watchmaking, the Seiko Prospex took home the Sports Watch Prize in 2018, followed by the Diver’s Watch Prize in 2019. It’s a great honour for the Japanese watch brand whose goal from the start was not to bag awards but to make a good and robust timepiece.
