*My watch is equipped with a StrapCode Super Jubilee bracelet but this model does come with a Seiko rubber strap* The Seiko Turtle in its modern form is a re-creation of the older Seiko cushion case turtle divers dating all the way back to the 6105 models seen on soldiers during the vietnam war as Seiko did have stores in the main towns in Vietnam. The watch was robust, tough, comfortable on a rubber strap and suitable for a soldier who might be going through rainy and watery conditions. It worked, lasted, and was even featured in a popular movie “Apocolypse Now” where actor Martin Sheen wore it during the film. The watch was brought back after nearly 3 decades of discontinuation and were even sold out for months. |
