Owner review: Seiko Prospex SRPE93K

My Past enjoy get for 2022 the Seiko Prospex SRPE93K or the Turtle as it is affectionally referred to , is significant, clumsy and a tiny unappealing like the creator. I have experienced my eye on a several confined editions in excess of the yrs but when one particular of my Brothers came down with his classic 6309 that he uncovered on a beach front in Fiji in the mid 1980s I understood I desired the standard edition. I have a little one model 38mm Seiko diver (the 4205-0155 ) that I just experienced serviced but although a attractive watch falls a minor limited on my wrist .

The Seiko Prospex SRPE93K, as I recognize it, is the similar as the SRP 777 besides for a adjust on the caseback (I may perhaps be wrong there ). This was a fantastic Boxing Day sale deal at 40% off and arrived with the common delicate rubber strap which fits snug on my wrist. There are a lot of choices which, getting marketed my last 22mm view final year, I’m keen to check out , additionally it has has drilled lug holes which is a reward in my textbooks .

Now I’m not a diver, extra of a snorkeler and beach front swimmer (and desk diver )but it will get tons of water time ( it’s rated for 200m). Just acquiring worn the Seiko Prospex SRPE93K for a week I can say its dimension is actually not that obvious. It’s uncomplicated adequate to uncover the stats but it’s a 44mm scenario weights about 122 grams (with rubber strap ) and it has a energy reserve of about 41hrs from the computerized caliber 4r36 movement.

It’s a incredibly utilitarian watch but I assume all my watches are. The lume plots glow all night and the situation has a great stainless finish to it. I could have chased a classic Turtle but I desired a inconvenience free exciting look at and I in all probability have ample classic watches in any case .
