Seiko Prospex Save the Ocean Turtle, OG Special Edition, 2018. The dial is often misunderstood. It doesn't represent waves but rather is patterned after "rorquals", the ventral grooves that run from the chin to abdomen of blue whales. The color represents experience of color of the ocean surface to the deepest blue at high depths. The contrast of gunmetal bezel and crown on the silver stainless case offers an elegance that puts it just above use as a diving tool. It's a bit of a sleeper among enthusiasts, but it's one of my favorites, and I have too many favorites. I'm thinning my collection to welcome a new human into our home. This is priced to find the watch a new home too.
