This is the new version of it, and falls under Seiko's international Prospex line. They have added Prospex branding to many older models including some solar, kinetic, and autos.
Enjoy, you have a great model.

Got a new SSC017, face looks different, could it be fake?
Hello all,
This is my first post on the website, though I have been following it a long time. I hope I am posting this correctly, and that I am in the right section:
I just purchased a Seiko prospex diver model ssc017. Thought the black and blue match was great and I have been wanting a diving watch for a while. I purchased it from what I believe to be a reputable website (not sure I can mention it) and received watch very very fast, so they were very good with that.
My issues:
Watch does not look like the watch I have seen in EVERY forum and EVERY website.
In the pictures you can see the watch I received has an "X"(prospex logo)" and diver's 200 m under "SEIKO" instead of "SOLAR" and "chronograph" as it is shown everywhere else.
I called SEIKO and said the movement and model number matched, and thst it might be an international version. I have tried the impossible to see if there was another model with the "X" ok it for the ssc017 but haven't found a single one.
Do you guys think this might be a fake/ replica?

Yep, I'm already sick of it, especially on the crowns. The machined "S" looked much better, and Prospex was better when it was just on the box.
fantastic watch. i'm certain it's genuine article. wear it well
that new Prospex logo tho...

Yep, you can go to "Watchfreeks.com" and look for this thread. There is a great picture of the new dial at the top post...er...oh...never mind
Seriously though, I haven't seen it listed with that dial yet.
Even in Google image search, your pic is the first one I find with the new Prospex branding.
