Seiko SRPC91K1 Save the Ocean Turtle Wrist Time Review
Seiko has, in recent years, followed an industry-wide trend and dived into the "heritage reissue"scene, most prominently with its cushion-cased SRP series, a watch affectionately known to nickname-happy Seiko fans as the Turtle. This year, Seiko released the SRPC91K1 Save the Ocean Turtle, a portion of whose proceeds will go to Fabien Cousteau's Ocean Learning Center, a non-profit dedicated to marine conservation and education.

While this type of polishing is no longer technically needed, it still looks pretty cool. You’ll see this on the dashboards of some high-end sports cars like the Spyker as well. Best of all, despite the impressive dial, it does not distract the view of the hands and hour indicators that are surprisingly conspicuous. A testament to the talent of Mr. Kulling of Xemex. Having owned a Xemex watch, I can easily say that the large arrow hours hand looks great, and the lin
