WHAT WE LOVE:

The Seiko 'Original Turtle' Diver was introduced in 1978 and remains an enduring icon in the world of dive watches. Revered for its unique cushion-shaped case, affectionately nicknamed "Turtle," this model combines vintage charm with Seiko’s commitment to durability and performance. Its 44mm stainless steel case offers exceptional wrist presence while maintaining a comfortable fit, thanks to its ergonomic design.

Featuring a bold black dial with highly legible luminous hour markers and hands, the watch ensures excellent visibility underwater. The 'Original Turtle' is not just a watch—it’s a piece of horological history, beloved by collectors and dive enthusiasts alike for its rugged aesthetics and proven functionality. Perfect for those who value classic design and practical reliability, this Seiko continues to make waves decades after its debut.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

At its heart beats the Seiko Calibre 6309 automatic movement, known for its durability and ease of servicing, as well as its approximate 47-hour power reserve.
