Seiko added a new version to the iconic King Turtle model family within the Prospex product group.
The new model, which includes the key design elements of the King Turtle concept, also impresses with its reference-specific details.
The new model comes with the legendary Turtle type case designed in dimensions of 45mm X 13.2mm X 47.7mm. The case, which has matte and glossy surfaces, is made of stainless steel, and blackened with Seiko's Hard Coating technique (a PVD derivative). The insert of the bezel used on the front of the sporty case is made of glossy black ceramic, specific to the model. The case, which has a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the front and a magnifier on the date display, is resistant to water pressure up to 200 meters, with the help of the screw-in crown and case back.
The dial, which generally contains King Turtle design elements, comes with a black background color for this model. The dial, which emphasizes the tactical appearance of the model with its simple pattern, offers excellent readability in almost any environment thanks to the green Lumibrite Pro phosphor application. In addition to the hour, minute, and second functions, date and day information can also be read from the functional dial.
The new model is powered by the Caliber 4R36 movement. The automatic movement, which oscillates at a frequency of 4Hz (28,800vph), does its job successfully, even though it falls slightly behind today's standards with its 41-hour power reserve when fully wound.
The new model, added to the standard (not limited) collection, is completed by a black-coated stainless steel bracelet and folding clasp. The stylish model is planned to reach sales points by February 2024.
