Prospex SBEC005 Seiko Panda JDM Limited Edition

⭐ Seiko Prospex SBEC005 (JDM) | 50th Anniversary Limited “Panda” Chronograph 🐼 | 1 of 1000

Letting go a rare Seiko Prospex SBEC005, the Japan Domestic Market execution of the SRQ029 — released as a 50th Anniversary Limited Edition chronograph paying tribute to the iconic Seiko 6138 “Panda”, the brand’s first automatic chronograph.

Strictly limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide, this example (02XX/1000) was sourced from Japan, making it a true JDM collector reference.
