Seiko Prospex SNJ025 Solar “Arnie” Black Dive Watch

The Prospex Divers Solar SNJ025 watch is a re-release of a cult classic originally known as the Seiko H558 watch that was first introduced in 1982. It was considered to be the world’s first hybrid diver watch at the time. It was also famous for being the exact watch that Arnold Schwarzenegger wore in many of his movies in the 1980’s. As part of the Prospex Divers collection, this new model has been dubbed the Seiko ‘Arnie’ watch, and it follows the same design style as its earlier counterpart.
The all-black aesthetic looks striking on the wrist and is fastened comfortably by a soft black strap. The case of the SNJ025 watch measures to 47.5mm in size, a slight increase from the original, and it is crafted from polished STAINLESS STEEL. The movement is the biggest difference between the original and new SNJ025 Solar Arnie. The new Seiko Arnie watch has a six month power reserve when fully charged, which is the same as the H558 model, which was powered by a standard quartz caliber. The H851 movement gives the timepiece a number of functions, including alarm, clock, and dual time. The functions are presented in a beautiful manner by a digital display and luminous hands.
