With several outdoor activities for adventure-seekers, Cebu is never without any
options. There’s skydiving in Bantayan; snorkeling, canyoneering and scuba diving in
Moalboal; and mountain climbing in Dalaguete, Cebu’s highest peak, to name a few. All
these activities require a quality timepiece that matches one’s active lifestyle.
With this in mind, Seiko Watch Corporation opened the first Prospex Boutique outside
Japan to provide quality outdoor timepieces for sports lovers and thrill-seekers. The
Seiko Prospex Boutique in Cebu is located at Level 2 of Ayala Center Cebu.
Prospex is Seiko’s leading sports watch collection renowned for its high functionality
whether on land, at sea or in the sky, and has won acclaim and the trust of
professionals across the world. It stemmed from Seiko’s introduction of Japan’s first
diver’s watch in 1965 which used innovative technology and changed global standards
in producing timepieces for diving.
Leading the opening of the Prospex Boutique in Cebu last September 27, 2019 were
Timeplus Corporation Vice President and Digital Marketing Officer Edric Dy; Timeplus
Corporation President Karl Dy; SEIKO Watch Corporation Director and Senior Vice
President Yoshikatsu Kawada; and Hana Harada from the SEIKO Prospex
Management Planning Department.
Guests were treated to drinks and cocktails in the exhibit area at Level 1, near Oh
Georg! where select Seiko Prospex timepieces were on display, highlighting the
collection's heritage, features and functions. The event was also graced by mom and
actress, Kaye Abad-Castillo; Cebu City Councilor and former Philippine Basketball
Association player Dondon Hontiveros; and Maria Noella Zosa, a member of the
Philippine freediving team—Seiko’s brand ambassadors who got the first glimpse of the
Prospex timepieces.
“I’m so glad to have opened the second Prospex Boutique here in Cebu because it is a
sacred destination for marine sports lovers,” said Kawada.
The Prospex collection features five unique series: the Sea, Sky, Land, Street and LX,
all of which embody wearability, comfort, the fusion of practicality and aesthetics, as
well as functionality for all kinds of outdoor adventures.
The Sea Series is the ideal timepiece for all types of water activities from swimming to
scuba diving, the Sky Series is designed for pilots and frequent world travellers, and the
Land Series is perfect for trekking and camping. The Street Series is a line of sports
watches for the urban explorer, designed with enhanced durability for everyday use like
exploring, shopping, or running errands in the city.
Seiko Prospex’s latest series, the LX Line, incorporates its Land and Sky models with its
classic 1968 divers watch, and features a spring drive movement in its timepieces,
promising reliability in various sports activities, from diving to mountain climbing.
The Seiko Prospex Boutique in Cebu is the seventh Seiko boutique in the country. An
eighth boutique will open in November 2019 at Ayala Malls Manila Bay, Parañaque City.
