Time for the Seiko PADI Turtle 🐢🌊🇯🇵
Haven’t posted this one for a while and as I promised Mike to widen my Seiko posts again, here we go. As my diving is usually no deeper than a shower it gets less wrist time than it could 🤷🏻♂️

Any other Seikos in the current rotation?

If you scuba dive...
If you scuba dive, then you ought to go to the Maldives! Where you can see a plethora of these turtles. They are even more common in Hawaii it seems, where the water is sometimes a little murky and one doesn't realize they're close to a turtle until they'...
The carefree feeling of having a dependable and robust piece on the wrist is always nice.
As for diving, even my 1000m divers usually don't go deeper than a bit of wrist perspiration.
Very right you are 😊👍🏻
I mostly wear smaller, thinner watches during the week but it’s nice for the odd weekend 🦾
