Same principle behind cars, if a particular model has a lot of aftermarket parts and manufacturers so owners can mod them, then that would speak volumes about its popularity and demand. But nothing is stopping its owners from revamping its design with the hundreds of available aftermarket parts for the popular SKX dive watch line. Personally, we like the SKX watches mounted on a jubilee bracelet because it goes with a lot of clothing that way. You just simply get a lot back of what you paid for it. How did this affordable marvel of a watch become so popular? Its functionality, design, and price tag is not seen elsewhere and is frequently copied by a lot of watch makers. Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe lovers give their two thumbs up for this entry-level dive watch from Seiko and that is not surprising. ![]() It is a watch that is known throughout the whole circle of watch lovers regardless of their financial status and love for horology. We have been talking a lot about popular and classic models from Seiko for Watch Daddy but we would like to save this model for last because it is truly the epitome of an icon!

What works with the Seiko PADI Turtle SRPA21 is that it incorporates and retains the classic turtle case design and features, but it was enhanced and sprinkled with Pepsi fairy dust to give its owners the desirable red, white, and blue theme that is just so popular with dive watches.Īnother great addition to the SRPA21 is the PADI name and logo stamped onto the dial which gives an authentic effect that its made by divers, for divers. There are the rarer and more limited-edition models like the Zimbe Turtle ( read our full review here) but there are also much affordable and desirable models like the Turtle PADI. The watch model is just so popular from Seiko that they had to make reissues of the “Turtle” design (circa 2016 onwards) and come up with different variations and models. Zen Love Want a rugged, robust, simple and ultra affordable tool watch with a military vibe Those are qualities watchmaker Seiko is often known for, and they also might describe field watches in general. The pillow cushion case, the bezel, and dial just works all together setting the 1970’s original model design into a timeless state even until today. The Seiko Turtle is one of the quintessential dive watch models one can ever own from Seiko. ![]()
