“Automatic Diver’s 200m” is printed on the dials of Seiko’s self-winding, ISO-rated dive watches. The best known is the SKX007, made from 1996 until it was discontinued around 2019, with the 7S26 movement and 200 meters of water resistance. It originally retailed for about $200 to $250, and pre-owned examples now sell for roughly $200 to $700. To identify yours, check the caliber and case number on the caseback. If you also own higher-value watches, jewelry or gold, Borro can turn them into fast, private funding without a sale.

How to Identify Your Seiko Automatic Diver’s 200m
Look at the caseback. A number such as 7S26-0020 identifies the movement (7S26) and case. Seiko has made many “Diver’s 200m” watches, including the SKX007, the SKX009 (blue and red “Pepsi” bezel) and later Prospex models, so the caseback number is the quickest way to find your exact model, production years and recent sale prices.
Seiko SKX007 vs. Its Replacement
Seiko replaced the SKX with the Seiko 5 Sports range (such as the SRPD series), which adds a hacking, hand-winding movement but is rated to 100 meters and is not ISO-certified as a dive watch. That change is one reason original SKX007s with 200-meter dials have become collectible and now often sell above their original price.
A Short History of Seiko Dive Watches
Seiko, founded in Tokyo in 1881, released its first dive watch in 1965 and a 300-meter professional diver in 1968. Over the following decades it became one of the best-known makers of affordable, dependable dive watches, and today it offers ISO-rated 200-meter divers in its Prospex line.

Can You Get a Loan Against a Seiko Diver?
Borro lends up to 65% of a watch’s value, with a minimum loan of $2,500, so a watch generally needs to be worth about $3,850 or more. Most Seiko divers are worth far less, so they won’t qualify on their own. If you own a Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe or other luxury watch, fine jewelry, diamonds or gold, Borro may be able to lend against those.
- No credit check and no personal guarantee. Your assets secure the loan, and Borro does not ask for personal or business financial statements.
- Fast funding. Once your loan is approved, funds can arrive in as little as one business day.
- You keep ownership. Your items are held in fully insured, secure safekeeping for the loan term and returned when you repay.
- Private and discreet. Borro has lent more than $1 billion to clients across the country and holds an A+ BBB rating.
