SEIKO PROSPEX SBDC083 BLACK SUMO

The “Black Sumo” isn’t just a dive watch—it’s a tidal wave in watch form. With extra strength beefed up inside and stealthy black steel on the outside, this thing’s ready to go underwater or out to dinner. Seiko took their legendary Sumo design, upgraded the guts, sharpened the style, and made it something you want to show off.
