My quest for the perfect Seiko dive watch brought me to its newest release, the slimmed-down Seiko Prospex Marinemaster SJE099. Like many, I initially dismissed it, but then saw it in person.

Seiko Prospex Black "Slim Turtle" Watch Review (SPB317, SPB317J1)

Seiko Prospex Black "Slim Turtle" Watch Review (SPB317, SPB317J1)

Nick Lehner

Seiko loves reissues of dive watches from its back catalog. Reinterpretations of the 62MAS, Willard, and Marinemaster models have become quite popular. Seiko has reissued another lesser-known 60s dive watch, the 6105-8000. Seiko refers to it as Prospex SPB317, but the community calls it the Slim Turtle.

Swatch originally released five variants of the Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms line, one for each ocean. Surprisingly, however, it recently released the Ocean of Storms variant. Because it is not limited, I was even able to find one! Click to learn what makes this model special.

Finding these boutique-only Swatch models has become a fun treasure hunt when I travel. I've been trying hard to find the Omega x Swatch Moonswatch Neptune for a friend, but I've struck out so far. Last week, however, I got my hands on the other dark blue collaboration watch, the Blancpain x Swatch Atlantic Ocean.
