Seiko Prospex Black Series King Samurai - Limited Edition

For sale is my near mint Seiko Prospex Black Series King Samurai - Limited Edition, #1947/8000. Comes with limited edition presentation box, manual, warranty card and hang tag. Might be a nice present for someone born in 1947! If my asking price is met, I will include a brand new Strapcode Hexad Black DLC Stainless Steel Bracelet (SS221820BLC066) with curved end links, designed specifically for Seiko Samurai to avoid the "Seiko Gap". This bracelet cost over €130 after shipping and taxes. I don't remember ever wearing this watch, but it's somehow managed to get some micro-scratches on the strap keeper. You really have to look hard to see them, but I wanted to mention them nonetheless. Released in 2022 as part of the "Black Series" collection, it was limited to 8,000 pieces worldwide and is no longer in production. This series is designed to mimic the view through night vision goggles when underwater. Being a King Samurai, it benefits from upgrades like scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, cyclops date magnifier, and polished ceramic bezel. Official Blurb: Own a piece of Seiko’s legendary diving history with the SRPH97K1, a stealth-inspired "Night Vision" edition of the iconic King Samurai. Designed to mimic the high-contrast look of night-vision goggles, this limited edition timepiece combines professional-grade specs with a "murdered-out" aesthetic that stands out by staying subtle. **Key Highlights & Features** "Night Vision" Lume: Features Seiko’s newly developed green Lumibrite on the hands and indices, designed to glow brighter and longer for maximum visibility in the dark. Stealth Design: A fully black hard-coated stainless steel case paired with a matte dark grey dial (replacing the traditional waffle texture for a cleaner look). Premium "King" Upgrades: Unlike standard Samurai models, this "King" version is equipped with a scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal (with date magnifier) and a polished Ceramic Bezel insert. Bulletproof Movement: Powered by the reliable Seiko 4R35 Automatic movement, featuring manual winding, hacking (stop-seconds), and a 41-hour power reserve. Built for the Deep: ISO-rated for 200m Water Resistance, making it a true tool watch for swimming, snorkeling, and serious diving.
