Seiko has a long history of making iconic affordable dive watches starting from the original 62MAS to the SKX. However, the Turtle in all of its generations are amongst the most popular Seiko dive watches out there. At the moment, Seiko makes multiple versions of the Turtle for different tastes and budgets. The two best models are the Slim Turtle (SPB313 / SBDC171) which is the thinnest Prospex dive watch available, and the King Turtle (SRPE03), which has been fully upgraded with a sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel and more. When I purchased my Slim Turtle I was strongly considering buying the King Turtle, and I’m still pining for a King Turtle.
So in this video, I’ll go through the details of the King Turtle like its dial, bracelet, case, and bezel and I will compare it to my SPB313 Slim Turtle to see which one offers more value. Finally i will decide whether or not I will keep the King Turtle.
