Key Features
- Automatic Movement: Powered by Seiko’s reliable in-house automatic caliber, this watch winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist, eliminating the need for battery changes and ensuring consistent timekeeping as long as it’s worn regularly.
- 200M Water Resistance: Engineered to meet professional diving standards, the watch is ISO-certified for underwater use up to 200 meters, making it suitable for recreational scuba diving, snorkeling, and other water-based activities.
- Unidirectional Rotating Bezel: Features a precisely calibrated dive bezel that allows divers to track elapsed time underwater safely. The bezel rotates only counterclockwise to prevent accidental overestimation of dive time, a critical safety feature in professional diving.
- Black and Gold Aesthetic: The striking contrast between the black dial and gold-tone accents—including hour markers and bezel details—enhances legibility while adding a premium, sporty look that stands out on the wrist.
- “Turtle” Case Design: Named for its uniquely curved, cushion-shaped case, the Turtle offers excellent ergonomics and shock resistance. The design not only provides comfort during extended wear but also contributes to the watch’s iconic presence.
- Luminous Hands and Markers: Equipped with Seiko’s proprietary Lumibrite coating on the hands and hour markers, ensuring clear visibility in low-light conditions or during night dives.
- Sapphire Crystal or Hardlex Glass: While the exact crystal type isn’t specified in the source, Seiko typically uses durable Hardlex mineral glass in this model range, offering strong scratch resistance and clarity.
