SEIKO Prospex Turtle SRP775 SRP775K1 Black Dial

This new SEIKO Prospex Turtle Automatic SRP775 of the Seiko Prospex SRP line of automatic dive-watches is very well positioned within Seiko’s PROSPEX line and a great bargain for anyone looking for an automatic, professionally-oriented and reliable diver or just a nice, casual daily beater. These new Seiko Prospex SRP incorporate the vintage-style of one of the most important and most popular Seiko dive-watches of all time, with modern touches and upgrades. Seiko is completely dominant in this segment of the market (sub-500 euros, quality and automatic dive-watches) and they introduced a watch that has almost no opponent in this price range.

The new SRP Prospex series is probably one of the most accurate re-issues, up to now. It’s probably an indication of how right Seiko’s designers were in the 1970s, when designing the original 63XX series. The new Seiko Prospex SRP series looks as purposeful as when it first entered the market, 39 years ago. The cushion-shaped case (so-called turtle case) of these models is the central vintage element that defines them – and tends to make them so attractive, especially among Seiko aficionados. This cushion-shaped case measures 44.3mm wide with a lug-to-lug height of approximately 46mm. The watch is 14mm thick, and it has a lug-width of 22mm. It’s a large watch, for sure, but it’s not oversized. Cushion-shaped cases tend to wear a lot smaller on the wrist than their dimensions suggest.
