Seiko Prospex Save the Ocean Special Edition Seiko Dive Watch Review

Where to buy

The mid-range Seiko comes in at around $525, and it’s a great choice for those seeking a classic-looking timepiece. Though it’s tagged as a “save the ocean” special edition, this diver aesthetically evokes the shimmering blues and whites of an icy environment and the patterns of penguin footprints in snow. That makes sense, as the SRPG57 first proved its mettle as essential gear for the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE).

Made for unforgiving environments, the watch features a 24-jewel automatic movement that beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The power reserve lasts approximately 41 hours, and wearers have the option to wind manually.

The screwdown crown and caseback, LumiBrite hands, unidirectional bezel, and (650 feet) 200 m water resistance are all par for the course.

Things we like:

  • Sleek detailing
  • Grooved edges on the bezel
  • Excellent power reserve

Things we don't like:

  • Penguin tracks on the graphics aren’t very visible
  • The bracelet is pins and needles so resizing can be hard

Why buy from Amazon?

Amazon has a documented Prime delivery program that covers millions of items, and that is the most concrete order-related support behind buying here.

Worth knowing

Some customers report slower replies or needing more follow-up than expected when they asked for help after ordering. If an order needs post-purchase support, that part of the experience is not always smooth.

Some customers also report delivery problems after ordering. That keeps follow-up and delivery as the areas to watch if you place the order here.
