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 🤷🏻♂️
A proper beater, always performing without problems and easy to wear everywhere (doesn’t attract the attention some other of those color scheme might).
Any other Seikos in the current rotation?

Really nicely paired with the Omega NATO....
Those straps sometimes retail for more than a Seiko 😉
You’re right there 😁
Not in this particular case but you’re right 😉 Glad you like it 👍🏻🙏🏻
Le Tortue is a meaningful part of horology it seems!
The noble animal of horology? ...
I wonder why we've bestowed this upon Le Tortue?
Thank you for the compliment KMII! There are better examples in horological museums! I've only shown the recent example. Although I must admit, it's very poetic! And appropriate! Good choice for the French and Swiss!
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 🦾
