Seiko Prospex limited-edition watch in gold and black spotted in fresh hands-on video
A new hands-on clip has given another look at Seiko Thailand’s Prospex Muay Thai Limited Edition, the black-and-gold diver that officially launched for the local market last week. The short video, shared by @SeikoLeaks, shows the watch on the wrist, and even in hands-on shots, it looks exactly like the retail images from Seiko Thailand’s announcement.
The official launch confirmed this model as a 200m Prospex diver with a full gold-tone case, bezel and bracelet, paired with a black textured dial. Seiko uses a repeating radial pattern on the dial rather than a flat surface, so the light moves across it instead of just bouncing off. Large circular and rectangular hour markers are filled with lume and framed in gold, complemented by broad hands and a date window at three o’clock. Text on the dial spells out that this is an automatic diver rated to 200 meters.
The bezel keeps things practical. It has a black insert with gold minute markings. In the official product shots the entire case, bracelet and clasp are finished in the same warm gold tone, and the case sides look fully polished while the bracelet appears to mix brushed and polished surfaces. The new video backs that up aptly: when the camera pans along the case flank, the reflections are smooth rather than grainy, which means Seiko has done a fairly clean finishing job for a watch that’s still meant to be used as a tool.
One of the bigger talking points from the original reveal was the packaging. Seiko Thailand ships the Muay Thai Limited Edition in a special box with the watch on a gold-tone bracelet, plus an extra black rubber strap and a matching gold buckle. The hands-on clip focuses on that second option. On wrist, the rubber strap tones down the overall look a bit, making the watch feel more like a daily-wear diver with a flashy case instead of full wrist jewelry. The strap tapers slightly towards the signed gold buckle, which is engraved with the Seiko logo.
At 45mm, the case itself still looks substantial. The side-on shot in the clip shows a tall bezel and a fairly thick mid-case. Combined with the polished gold surfaces, it sits high and catches the light easily, so this is not a watch that hides under a cuff. For anyone who liked the idea of the all-gold bracelet but worried about comfort in hot weather, the rubber strap option shown here will likely be the more practical setup.
The watch is priced at 50,000 Thai Baht (~$1,566) in Thailand. You can check out its product page on Seiko Thailand's website here.
