For those looking to add affordable luxury onto their wrists, Seiko introduces the Prospex Turtle series of watches that hark back to the heritage of Japanese diver timepieces.

This latest offering, the Prospex Turtle Ref. SRPD11, arrives in a luscious Blue on Black Steel combination. The 45mm diameter casing is on the larger side of wristwatch sizes, while the rotating bezel — in classic five increment diver markings set within a black with blue color scheme — gives the watch the appearance of expansiveness atop its oversized “turtle” style casing. Internally, the watch uses a 4R36 automatic movement is for accuracy, and further features 3Hz manual winding and a 41-hour power reserve for everyday or every-other-day usage.

Pick up the Seiko Prospex Turtle SRPD11 at Seiko USA for $575 USD now, and be sure to explore more of Seiko’s vintage-esque timepieces, like the Tachymeter Watch.
