With a water resistance rating of 300 meters, the SBEX011 is well-suited for professional diving activities. The sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating ensures durability and optimal visibility, while the screw-down crown and case back contribute to the watch's water-resistant integrity.

Whether you're a diver exploring the depths of the ocean or an enthusiast appreciating high-performance watchmaking, the SBEX011 stands as a testament to Seiko's legacy of excellence in the world of professional sports watches.
