Seiko Prospex Owner Review : Professional, beautiful and asymmetrical

The SEIKO Prospex special (but not limited) Save the Ocean edition blew me away when they were released in June 2022. The 3 models, respectively tributes to the SEIKO divers from 1965 (the famous 62MAS), 1968 (the first SEIKO operating at 5 Hz and water-resistant to 300 m) and 1970 (the famous turtle) feature sumptuous textured dials, each evoking a different shade of the ice of our poles, from deep blue to white, including sky blue. After trying them on, the hardest part for me was choosing. But as the saying goes that when you love, you don't count, I finally find myself owning all three... ;-) The choice was too difficult and they all had to be on my wrist. The 6R35 movement of this "turtle" (SPB301J1) has good autonomy, but is less precise than its little sister (SPB297J1), for those that I have: it's a matter of luck... I like this white textured dial, and the grooved blue bezel, in this asymmetrical and atypical case. I like less the precision, which deviates by about twenty seconds per day, within the tolerances of the brand and the movement. This watch is rather masculine, and will not necessarily suit all wrists! Chicken wrists, abstain (in my opinion).
