A Seiko Turtle that Celebrates the Water It has been a little over a year since the first round of Seiko turtle watches came out.  If you are new to Seiko Dive watches, the turtle is the nickname for a beloved vintage Seiko Dive watch.  Seiko has improved the design and put in a modern movement the 4R36.  Since the launch of the turtle Seiko USA has five different colored turtle watches.  That is a lot of colors for one year.  The Seiko Turtle has had a huge demand so who could blame them for making so much variations.  To learn...

The Phantom is not an easy feat to accomplish by...
